BBC: North Korea 'ready for sacred war' with the South
North Korea is ready for a "sacred war of justice" using the nuclear deterrent, its armed forces minister has said.

Kim Yong-chun said exercises conducted by South Korea near the border were a preparation for war with the North.

The drill is one of the largest in South Korea's history, involving tanks, helicopters and fighter planes.

Tension has been high since North Korea shelled the South's Yeonpyeong island last month, killing four South Koreans.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has promised immediate retaliation to any further Northern attack. ..........(more)

1. All dinky pecker wagging. They can't even keep the fucking lights on.
It is amazing that they haven't imploded already. If I lived in Seoul, I'd be more worried about nuclear fallout from a fucked up test in N. Korea than getting attacked by their so called army. They don't even have a solid supply chain and most of the shit they call a "military" is rather dated. When they figure out how to feed their own people, then maybe they should be taken seriously. Until then, just keep them contained until the military stages a coup and eliminates the dictatorship. Perhaps we can talk to them rationally then.

2. Gosh. A "sacred war of justice"? They're more like the USA than I thought.
