A fantastic country with fantastic people-I was lucky enough to spend some time in Seoul a few years back. Even though you get used to the monthly air raid warnings they always make you a bit nervous.

I'm hoping that its just one of the periodic outbreaks of hostilities and nothing more prolonged and serious.

It falls on the back of the North declaring the opening of a new Uranium enrichment processing plant over the weekend.

I'd imagine the current administration will be monitoring how the situation develops over the coming days.

I also hope it's just a small outburst, as escalation will undoubtedly lead to all hell breaking loose.

Nice to see the future US president standing up for the right side:rolleyes:

I'm not even convinced it was a slip of the tongue, rather a lack of knowledge of the situation.

I too doubt that it was a slip of the tounge; it's Sarah Palin ffs. :greengrin

That woman is a ****ing idiot. How the hell does she get dressed in the morning, she's so dense it's unreal.

Stick her, Harriot Harman and a bomb in a room together and it'd make my day.

Now Harman I can understand, cos she's not an actual idiot just a total pain in the erse, but to want to blow up Sarah Palin simply because she's intellectually challenged seems harsh.

harman is pretty harmless overall - just another bland politician.

palin is both an idiot and a tool used by the right to manipulate hundreds of millions of idiotic americans.

i think blowing up sarah palin could remove some danger of ourselves meeting the same fate.

The BBC's Chris Hogg in Seoul says that, coming just a few hours before the military exercises, the latest warnings and threats from North Korea are certain to anger the South further.
