Koreas exchange artillery
The Associated Press reports that the North and South Koreas have fired back and forth across their sea borders, the South, of course, responding to the hermit kingdom’s opening volleys;
No shells from either side were fired at any land or military installations, an official with South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said. He provided no other details and spoke on condition of anonymity because of office rules.
Kang Myeong-sung, speaking from a shelter on Yeonpyeong island, which is in sight of North Korean territory, said that anxious islanders were huddled together in shelters. Kang said he didn’t see any fighter jets, but he could hear the boom of artillery fire. In 2010, North Korean artillery killed four South Koreans on Yeonpyeong.
So, there’s not enough going on in the world, now there’s this. I guess it’s what happens when we focus entirely on domestic issues and just leave John Kerry jetting around reacting to foreign policy policy. Maybe we should send Jimmy Carter to North Korea with bags of money to pay off NDtBF.

I am sure John Kerry will de-escelate this situation by referencing some American Action film.
Remember the war never ended… just a ceasefire is in effect. And it was a war…not a damn conflict.
So… we’re not paying enough attention to Kim Junior?
Any new photos of him, or is this just his annual spring cleaning again?
Ex-PH2: wouldn’t that be “Lil’ Kim Jr Jr”? (smile)
They exchanged artillery…does that mean they’re dating now?
;-D
I like this option best.
It was a response to Arizons’s loss to Wisconsin. NeedleDik blames the South Koreans for the loss. Call it the Rodman Effect.
Meh, much ado about nothing. This is just a case of a brat shooting his rifle into the pond and his neighbor getting mad and firing into the pond, too. If they really meant it, they would have shelled each other’s land mass. This is just them hollering at each other.
So this means skipping rocks in a pond against someone else is now a war crime?
