    Fuck all, since they never officially ended the Korean war, they only agreed to a ceasefire. More saber rattling by best Korea.

    When were they ever not at war!?

    Not much other than another unnecessary little clusterfuck of shelling SK and shit like that. North Korea is pathetic.

    USA, Russia, and China have no reason to fight one another if North Korea attacks South Korea.

    If the US decides to back South Korea if any hostilities opened up, which the US most likely would... yeah, North Korea wont exist for too much longer.

    Technically they are still on war since 1953, since the cease-fire was agreed under an armistice, and not a peace treaty.

    So all done so far is still rhetoric until bullets truly start flying.

    declared they are in a "state of war" so in short all relations will be considered under the assumption of a combatant. Slightly different as of now no military action has taken place that has been reported.

    The only reason Russia, USA and china would go to war is if China decides to support nk, this would lead to USA supporting sk and maybe Russia will see it as a chance to become the world's prime superpower or something.

    Doubt China will support it though.

    Here's an english article on the matter: it doesn't say they've declared war, just that North Korea is getting silly yet again: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21974381

    Worst case scenario is that NK attacks SK, then gets decimated from the counter attack by the US and various allies. The losers? All the civilians caught in the crossfire. We can only hope NK doesn't do anything stupid.

    Until they fire the first missile we won't do anything, and shouldn't. Once they do however, North Korea turns into a hole.

    Indeed, it is getting tiresome now, after a while you learn to ignore the child when it throws a tantrum.

    How can they declare war when they never had peace in the first place?

    It would be a terrible move on China's part on the International stage.

    North Korea is already a pretty deplorable place. And THEY'RE the ones initiating the hostilities. China would have no "saving grace" reason for backing North Korea.

    Even China agreed to the latest sanctions against North Korea, they have had enough of their bullshit too. China won't risk losing its valuable trade with the west, they have tasted capitalism and they Like it. Russia is in no state to invade anyone, their armed forces are a shambles, with 1/5th of their naval fleet rusting away in dock not sea worthy.

    Where's Lex Luthor when you need him?

    If you get this reference you have good taste in TV.

    But seriously, I agree with the other posters in this thread. This means very little until NK actually attacks.

    That's what I was thinking.

    If they actually start attacking anyone they're fd.

    I am sick and tired of these tiny pathetic people thumping their chests and thinking anybody cares, I know it sounds horrible but part of me wishes they really would invade them, just so there would be a reason for someone to crush them.
