Russian urges US and North Korea to show restraint. "We hope that all parties will exercise maximum responsibility and restraint and no one will cross the point of no return." John Kerry to travel to the region in a week or so for meetings with Japan, China and South Korea. The US defense department keeps secret its assessment of the distance North Korea's missiles can reach. But Admiral James Winnefeld, vice-chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said a fortnight ago it had one type of missile capable of reaching the US. Chuck Hagel, said: "There are a lot of unknowns here. But we have to take seriously every provocative, bellicose word and action that this new, young leader has taken so far since he's come to power." (can't post link, but that covers the good bits from there) North Korea stands by threats, says it will close factory site jointly run with the South. http://bostonglobe.com/news/world/2013/03/30/north-korea-threatens-shut-factory-run-with-south/rT6ZgEfsh5KT45wIiPoZeI/story.html [/quote] I wish the Obamanazis would quit calling the fat little gook a "leader". He's a ruler, not a leader. Fucking Islamo-nazis. [/quote] Good point... It sort of legitimizes him when they do that. Odd how they aren't playing the "liberate the people" card on this one... I guess that tactic only applies to the middle east. [/quote] That tactic only applies to Countries whom have something to take. Minerals, Oil, they just have barren wastland. If we went to war with them, then, we would defeat them and then, we would have to help rebuild. I think that may be what Lil'Kimmy wants. Possibly. Or, there is the other, much darker side where China is actually pulling the strings on Lil'Kimmy and they "China" want us to go to war so that they can invade America while we are at our weakest. The EU would not respond, they are broke, so are we, Japan is broke. China is basically the only ones besides the Middle East who have any "real" money right now. And I wouldn't expect them to loan us money to fight them. lol. [/quote] Makes sense. Install a cooperative leaders in nations that have resources... bomb the shit out of nations with nothing to offer. You can count on China pulling strings and as soon as things begin to kick off, we'll finally get to see their true colors. I don't think an invasion of America is in the cards though... China will just collapse the dollar with their gold backed currency. They'll defeat America without firing a single shot. [/quote]

They're at the end of the road. They've made a declaration of war against the South and as you can see within the timeline, under new leadership they've been keeping more of their promises.
Why now though? Why all of a sudden?
Look no further then China.
WW3 will begin as a war by proxy. All the superpowers have their own pieces to play before they get directly involved themselves.
