The President of South Korea is calling for stern action against North Korea for the sinking of the Cheonan. The thing is that he has been crying loud and long and hasn’t gotten any satisfaction yet, but he isn’t going to roll over and play dead. He will get some satisfaction.
He knows that he must make a stern response to save face. If he dosen’t, he knows that the North Koreans will not hesitate to take more provocative actions in the future. He knows that he can’t let this pass unpunished and he dosen’t intend to. He has fired his top General and about twenty four other high ranking Naval Officers. We have a large contingent of our Navy ring customers in the area and our military ring customers stationed in Korea are surely on alert.
He is in a very tricky position on this one because a mistake in diplomacy would be deadly. On the other hand he has to make a move. He has to be extremely careful how he deals with this incident.
