This one has been brewing for a while..... An international report has found A North Korean submarine's torpedo sank a South Korean navy ship on 26 March causing the deaths of 46 sailors. North Korean Pyongyang rejected the claim as a "fabrication" and threatened war if sanctions were imposed. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia_p ... 129703.stm This one could get messy.

It will get messy, very messy, sooner rather than later.

There have been incidents like this over the last 30 years. Neither side will do anything as China has given them a warning.

Seconds out Round One!

71 is right. Much ado about nothing.

could you expand on the warning china has given?

They have basically told two restless kids to settle down.

China have only said that the incident is 'unfortunate'. The reason why they are keeping quiet at the moment is because Kim Jong Il has visited China on a state visit recently and South Korea are already very annoyed that China hosted the dictator.

I'm sure China is quaking in its boots.

but as South Korea has the USA on its side i wouldn't be too quick to dismiss them and we all know the USA likes to blow up commies!!!

Yeah, I'm sure USA is about to attack China.

Can i just interupt the discussion here, and ask generally how come people post non rugby stuff like this on here, rather than using the dedicated off topic forum that rlfans has [url=http://viewforum.php?f=11&start=0THE SIN BIN[/url.

I'm not complaining, its just that in recent weeks there's been a resurgance of the OT/OTish(just imo, if it's a rugby league topic, even a non warrington one, you don't need to label it OT

) threads on here which we've let go rather than locking/re-directing.

it puzzles me slightly that we've got quite a few posters that do thrive on some of the more serious discussions and there's a pretty good resource for doing it with other likeminded people, rather than filling up this place.

Likewise with the other sports forums. Don't be affraid, dip your toe in, thats what they're there for after all.
