***Why the North Koreans did not attack***

They are waiting!

That... or they are full of shit. Which one seems more logical?

Knowing Kim-Jong Ill? Guile.

He knows his PR.

Nice analaysis. Another possibility is that the longer this draws out, the more desperate the South's leaders may become. They may attack the North, not the other way around.

Except the North doesn't have fuel for it's 3000+ tanks.

PYONGYANG, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Monday that it "was not worth reacting" to South Korea's artillery drill on a disputed island off the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, state media reported.

I'll tell you why they didn't attack.

FLAT OUT FEAR!!

The didn't want to get annihilated by the South and Americans.

Dress it up anyway you want, they were and still are afraid.

KIM JONG UN is waiting for his new ipad, kindle, REAL dolls, and flash-ice-age snuggies to come in the mail before the attack.

Just like when Russia rolled into Georgia and the USA did nothing to help their ally.

Double Bingo!!

They will but when not expected. Too unpredictable and crazy leader

It makes too much sense to be dismissed.

The North Korean leader is waging a flawless PR campaign right now.

The South's "reckless military provocations" will probably be repeated again, to no avail, until it is the rest of the Western world telling SK to cease immediately.

They put on a show and got the worlds attention.
They got and are getting their FOOD AND SUPPLIES.

That is what this was all about. In the future when they run out of supplies you will see this B.S. again and the world will end up giving them supplies to shut them up.

Mean while the people in that country continue to suffer beyond what we can imagine.

Actually, knowing Kim Jong Il, full of shit spun as guile.

Indeed.

What would Sun Tzu do?

If they are our allies, then they are the brits also. Last time I looked the british didn't wipe their ass without the U.S.A permission.

I didn't see any of you tea drinking pussy loud mouth no gun owning heros stepping up to help either. So shut the fuck up and go back to rioting.

That would be the sentiment if kim was not bat-shit crazy.

Many of you may be puzzled by the lack of response by North Korea

Others among you may be lauding it as North Korea backing down or having been influenced by another power

There is one thing about warfare both groups would be overlooking by reaching either of those assumptions

Guile.

The North sank a South Korean warship this way. It wasn't until a thorough investigation that it became clear the North was responsible.

Observe their behaviour over the last eight hours.

1. They prepare for war

2. They paint the South as the aggressors

3. They agree to UN inspectors

4. They agree to off-shore uranium processing

5. They refrain from hostility in the face of the drills.


Now think about this:

The South were itching for a war. The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff even said they'd prefer war over diplomacy and repeated the wisdom circulating throughout South Korea that the North must be punished at all costs.

Alas, no punishment.

The North now have the South in the palm of their hands - and moreover, they're looking like the calmer heads.

The South blatantly spat in the face of Russia and China (and the entire UN) by going ahead with the drills despite the Russians and the Chinese demanding they call them off.

Just wait.

While everyone thinks everything's hunky dory on the Korean Peninsula and the nerves have calmed (on the South's side), a relaxed posture will resume.


...and one quiet and still morning, some day in the future, the North just may send it's entire army in a Blitzkrieg across the DMZ suddenly and ferociously - without warning - blasting everything that moves and rumbling over all in its path.

Guile, my friends.

Guile.

they are probably mobilizing troops too

It was all much ado about nothing.

I had a dream/premonition just like that

its started with the DOW on lock limit down then halted after a 2,000 point drop

charts were vertical down RED

and we found ourselves at a late night nineball invite tournament with the devil in a mans form

I refused to play on the table because it was cluttered with junk like cups and a blanket

so I left and the devil taunted me

I embraced him and said, God does not want you...he wants your fathers mother

and as I embraced him I could see two crosses merge together

and when they did

the devil was gone and the sun was rising




weird huh?

"one quiet and still morning, some day in the future, the North just may send it's entire army in a Blitzkrieg across the DMZ suddenly and ferociously - without warning - blasting everything that moves and rumbling over all in its path."

that cannot happen in a dull worldline.

to be prepared is good, this seems interesting 4. They agree to off-shore uranium processing

they follow the same strategy as iran does . shit stirring but not let it hit the fan .

Now I will tell you one thing.






Which side lost in this game?






South Korea, definitely.






They discharged 1500 shells into the empty sea and felt good. Definitely they are not the cleverer side.






.

hells bells. Now the US will have to set up another provocation. Why can't Kim be
a good boy and go to war like everybody wants. Then the US can stop this endless economic FU and spend like madmen again. The Security Council Hypocrites are certainly taking a beating from Russia and China. Obama & Mullen may have to stage a false flag event directly in SK to get the ball rolling. Maybe a little 10 kt nuke on the outskirts of an american base. The north is wise to take its time and possibly attempt to take out a few politicians and generals before the next phase begins. Alas all the US military has to look forward to is budget
cuts after New Year.

Or NONE of those things will happen..

usa with politics did manage to strengthen position in okinawa trough well known FEAR tactics

Carefully compare the opposing army with your own, so that you may know where strength is superabundant and where it is deficient.


Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. These military devices, leading to victory, must not be divulged beforehand.


Rouse him, and learn the principle of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find out his vulnerable spots.


Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards. So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.


When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

Such is the art of warfare.
