This to me is very scary !! What are your thoughts on this happening right now? IF they go to war, WHAT will OBAMA do? What do YOU think OBAMA should do IF they DO go to war?
North and South Korea appeared headed toward another clash, as Seoul refused an ultimatum that it halt anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts by Saturday afternoon or face military action, and North Korea said its troops were on a war footing.
South Korean Vice Defense Minister Baek Seung-joo said on Friday it was likely the North would fire at some of the 11 sites where the loudspeakers are set up on the South's side of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the countries.
Tension escalated on Thursday when North Korea fired four shells into South Korea, according to Seoul, in apparent protest against the broadcasts. The South fired back 29 artillery shells. Pyongyang accused the South of inventing a pretext to fire into the North.
The 'fact' that both side's shell''s did NOT damage anything means they did NOT want to spread an armed clash. There is always a chance for WAR, BUT that chance is very , very low. Said Yang Moo-jin, professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.
Seriously what are YOUR thought's on this? It scare's the hell out of me...

Meh. This happens every 5 years or so. A little chest bumping, some times some people die. It's a fact of life along the DMZ. I don't see this escalating in to a major re-spark of the war.I think even a megalomaniac like Kim Jong Un knows what a disaster all out war would be for his country.

Man this is nothing compared to the loc firing that happens between to nuke countries almost everyday in the border.Life of citizens near the borders are lost. I don't feel anything reading it as it is like a trailer when the full movie is unleashing here .
Coming to what Obama must do, I think a country which possesses nuke like north Korea you can't go to war against them. It will be risking your own security.I have heard that North korea has ICBM'S which are targetting USA cities.So Obama won't risk it. Economical sanctions are the best but North Korea itself have secluded itself from everyone but China and Russia I guess. So Obama can't do anything substantial I see as China and Russia are backing North Korea for now.
