Another day, another threat of all-out war.

After 14 years of this, I can understand the S. Koreans' ho-hum attitude towards such. :ddpan:
SKorea Navy Ship Sinking in Waters Near NKorea
Report: Explosion ripped hole in bottom of sinking SKorean ship in waters near North Korea
South Korea's military scrambled naval vessels to the western waters near the disputed maritime border with North Korea late Friday after an explosion ripped a hole in the bottom of a military ship, officials and news reports said.

The ship — reported to have 104 crew on board — began sinking off the coast of South Korean-controlled Baengnyeong Island close to North Korea around 10:45 p.m. (1345 GMT, 9:45 a.m. EDT), an official at the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with department policy.

He said the exact cause was not immediately clear. South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported an explosion in the rear of the 1,200-ton ship, but the official said he could not confirm the report.

North Korea is like the neighbour's tiny dog that keeps nipping at your heels, eventually you're just gonna kick it.

Hardly a tiny dog. More like a big snarling thing that China keeps chained up.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
