N. Korea to sever hot line with Seoul, nullify non-aggression pacts

2013-03-08

They are getting pretty yappy even by their own bellicose standards...

SEOUL, March 8 -- North Korea said Friday that it will sever its emergency hot line with Seoul and nullify non-aggression agreements between the two countries, amid escalating tensions over the North's nuclear test last month.

"The DPRK abrogates all agreements on nonaggressions reached between the North and the South," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea, a propaganda organ against the South, said in an English statement carried by the North's Korean Central News Agency. "The DPRK will close the Panmunjom liaison channel between the North and the South."

#4 I'd pay to see that P2K. But I doubt our current Commander-in-Chief, Barack "Don't call my bluff!" Obama, has the stones for such a gambit.

#3 Just move a lot of air assets in, start dropping chaff, and force the Norks to put their own air up. One, it'll burn a lot of fuel the Norks really don't have. Two, it'll cause a lot of 'hanger queens' to crash. IIRC this what Ford executed with the axe murdering incident; the air force was deployed, which included B-52 bomber flights over Panmunjom.

#1 SK should, immediately on the NORKS nullification of the non-aggression agreement, open up on the defenses of NORK and push the border 1 mile or so north.

Whether or not they announce their intentions before the nullification is up to them.
