Korean sword-rattling

[rotorgun]

Before we all put the proverbial cart before the horse, doesn't it speak volumes that South Korea hasn't seen fit to retaliate to the sinking of one of its vessels, with the loss of 46 of her sailors? I address what Seamus refers to as "will to fight." In addition, Japan's constitution specifically forbids the use of its armed forces in an offensive role, something that some in Japan would like to see changed. I hardly think that they would become involved without a mandate from the UN's, or the US government's tacit approval at least.

I am amazed that South Korea hasn't already responded with a retaliatory strike? Is anyone else not amazed?
