| Korea Warship Crisis
Most people might not have known but about a month ago, there was a sinking of a South Korean Warship.
Now independent international investigators have concluded that it was caused by a North Korean Torpedo.
The south korean president vowed to take "resolute countermeasures" against north korea. North korean officials are accusing south korea of forging evidence and threaten with "severe consequences up to total war" in case of repercussions or sanctions.  http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/as...hip/index.html
The beginnings of World War 3? Another Gulf of Tonkin Incident? It doesn't take a degree in Poli Sci to see how this could easily spiral out of control.

I can't see this as a another world war. I do see the potential for a north south conflict... which would be probably resolved through talks.

WW3? pfft. Everyone is busy with their own economy. UN probably only says shit like no food for you in the next 3 yrs. I bet Lee Myung-bak will only tell the north kimchis "hey, you, don't do it again or I'll call for help" what can they fucking do.

PRC would probably just load up on the border to provide some "official" moral support. But really, they're just gonna be there to prevent the flood of migrants from entering China

When news first spread about the incident it seemed like everyone assumed North Korea attacked them.... but here's the thing, no one cares... or more precisely no one dares to care; so they left it strictly between North and South to deal with the matter
The USA will stay inbetween them but if the South decides its going to war over the incident (it wont) you can definitely expect the USA to advise against it but if they choose to go through with it it would mean an end to US defense of the border
the USA can't afford the wars its in let alone another one which will bring China into it; you won't see events which led to WW2 happen again especially when there's no interest for the Bigger parties

Heck, this might be the only chance for China to become world superpower as history has shown, every time the superpower changes, it takes a war to do that.

There won't be a WW3 as long as Obama's in the house. He's too anti-war.
