I'm rooting for Kim Jong-Il, just for jokes until the war spreads and everyone else gets involved.

President Obama and South Korea's president agreed Tuesday night to hold joint military exercises as a first response to North Korea's deadly shelling of a South Korean military installation as the two countries struggled for the second time this year to keep a North Korean provocation from escalating into war.
The exercise will include sending the aircraft carrier George Washington and a number of accompanying ships into the region, both to deter further attacks by the North and to signal to China that unless it reins in its unruly ally it will see an even larger U.S. presence in the vicinity.
The decision came after Obama attended the end of the emergency session in the White House Situation Room and then emerged to call President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea to express U.S. solidarity and talk about a coordinated response. It also came as the South Korean military went into what it termed "crisis status." Lee said he would order strikes on a North Korean base if there were indications of new attacks.
North Korea's artillery shells fell on Yeonpyeong Island, a fishing village whose residents fled by ferry to the mainland city of Inchon - where U.S. troops landed 60 years ago this fall, three months after the outbreak of the Korean War.
A senior U.S. official said that an early American assessment indicated that a total of about 175 artillery shells were fired by the North and by the South in response Tuesday.
Television reports showed large plumes of black smoke spiraling from the island, as dozens of houses caught fire. The shelling killed two Marines and wounded 18 people. The South put its fighter planes on alert - but, tellingly, did not put them in the air or strike at the North's artillery bases.
Just 11 days before, North Korea had invited Stanford University nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker to Yongbyon, its primary nuclear site, and showed him what was described as a just-completed centrifuge plant that, if it goes fully operational, should enable North Korea to enrich uranium into nuclear fuel and add to its arsenal of eight to 12 nuclear weapons.
Taken together, the nuclear demonstration and the attack were widely interpreted as an effort to bolster the credentials of Kim Jong Un, the heir apparent as the country's leader, and the son and grandson of the only two men who have run the country. When his father, Kim Jong Il, North Korea's ailing leader, was establishing his credentials, the North conducted a similar series of attacks.

Absolutely. Another tired ass false flag.
Besides, S. Korea provoked this.

What I don't get is why the U.S. has to take the lead in this.
Korea is in the United Nations, and isn't the point of the U.N. to interfere in issues like these? The U.S. needs to stop acting like a fucking big brother to every country in need.

Yeah I agree that the US needs to worry about our own problems.
The UN was made to put in check other nations after what happened with WW2, with the US having a head spot in the organization, the UN could be just as "big brotherish" as the US only under a different banner.
And this wouldn't be WW3, IMO. North Korea has a big military but its no Soviet Russia, current day China, or US. NK is weaker than people think, which is why they do this type of shit. They can't even feed the majority of their people and want to negotiate, which the US doesnt wanna do.
