The US and South Korea are conducting another joint exercise in the wake of the North Korean sinking of the Cheonan. The North Koreans are pooping off at the mouth as usual but they have sense enough to know how far to go.
This exercise is an annual exercise called Ulchi Freedom Guardian. It is a computerized exercise so it doesn’t require units to go to the field en masse. Of course the North Koreans say they will retaliate but thats just talk. If they do they will do something sneaky that they can easily deny. Their latest gimmick has been to allow mines to float down the river where they threaten South Korean shipping. Of course its an accident and they deny all knowledge.
South Korea is still 0 for 1 with this deal. They still have not been effectively able to counter the sinking of the Cheonan. From the way things are looking that won’t be anytime soon. If they remain vigilant the North Koreans will be themselves and the opportunity will come. South Korea needs to be vigilant and seize the moment to strike back quickly when it occurs. As far as I’m concerned our navy ring customers need to execute any such opportunity with extreme violence of action.
