But South Korea shouldnt be worried

Not sure what SKs retarded intel community thinks but as someone who is married to a korean I can tell you that the average person sees it as a massive bluff.

When I was there in 2010 the north was sabre rattling again and it was all over the western msm yet none of my inlaws knew or gave a fuck about it.

Everyone has each other snookered in that one imho

I think Koreans are more concered with American military occupation than the North Koreans.

I also think that some Koreans respect that the fat little crazy Korean cousin up north has got the balls to defy America.

Well for instance, back in the 70's or 80' I cant remember the exact year, a Soviet Golf class submarine sunk NW of Hawaii.

The Americans searched for it and found it on the bottom awhile later.

Instead of telling the Russians where it was located, the CIA devised a scheme where a gigantic salvage ship with an enormous claw would anhor right over the wreckage and attempt to pick up the entire thing and bring it back to the U.S

The wreckage was real deep and the claw picked it up and made it about halfway up but then it broke apart. Only a small part was saved. I believe 10 or so russian remains were eventually returned to russia.
Crazy to think someone as rich as Howard Hughes would let the government use his name as a cover for ownership of the salvage ship.

Never underestimate the greed of wealthy people. When I worked as a telephone asshole my go-to line wouldbe"So, you;ve lived in Jamaica Queeens for 30 years, yeah?" - No I just moved in 6 months ago - Oh shit, I think you're been listed in the wrong place, anyways "I've got this offer yabadaboogallo0h" Lot easier to pull a husltle on a bad guy over a good guy.

You regularly caste aspersions on the SK populace, but you've come good for them here. Their not afraid because NK is a joke that has been in famine for 20 years. THEY'LL NEVER HURT ANY OF US.

You really dont think that ROK is worried about an attack?

The DMZ is the most militarized area in the world.

Hundreds if not thousands of incursions that theyve had to deal with. Blue room assasination attempt etc...

Not to mention their ships getting sunk and their main antagonist next door testing nuclear weapons.

Pretty sure theyre probably worried and rightfully so.
DMZ. We had a DMZ that ran down the middle of our college, lol. No one was going to attack that college of underachievers ever.

The grass straight down the middle was it

From That incident the US came up with the Glomar Response:
The Glomar Explorer was a large salvage vessel built by the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for its covert "Project Azorian"—an attempted salvaging of a sunken Soviet submarine. In February 1975, aware of the pending publication of a story in the Los Angeles Times, the CIA sought to stop the story's publication. Journalist Harriet Ann Phillippi requested that the CIA provide disclosure of both the Glomar project and its attempts to censor the story, to which the CIA chose to "neither confirm nor deny" both the project's existence and its attempts to keep the story unpublished. This claim stood, and Phillippi's FOIA request was rejected, though when the Ford administration was replaced by the Carter administration in 1977 after the 1976 presidential election, the government position on the particular case was softened and both of Phillippi's claims were confirmed.[2][3]

The "Glomar response" precedent still stood, and has since had bearing in FOIA cases such as in the 2004 lawsuit American Civil Liberties Union v. Department of Defense, wherein Federal Judge
Alvin Hellerstein rejected the Department of Defense and CIA's use of the Glomar response in refusing to release documents and photos depicting abuse at Abu Ghraib prison.

"Glomar" is the
syllabic abbreviation of Global Marine, the company commissioned by the CIA to build the Glomar Explorer.

The original text of the Glomar response was written by Walt Logan (
pseudonym), who was at that time an Associate General Counsel at the CIA. So as not to divulge to the Soviet Union either what the CIA knew or did not know, the response read: "We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the information requested but, hypothetically, if such data were to exist, the subject matter would be classified, and could not be disclosed."[4]

This should put your mind at ease if anything goes wrong

Ship's cook survived for TWO DAYS trapped underneath sinking tugboat as ten of his crewmates perished in Atlantic Ocean tragedy
  • Okene Harrison was found sitting on a table in an air pocket
  • Bodies of ten of the 12-strong crew have been found by rescue divers
  • The remaining sailor is missing, presumed drowned and search called off


A cook has been rescued after a two-day ordeal trapped inside a capsized tugboat 100ft underwater in the Atlantic ocean.

Okene Harrison found an air pocket inside the upturned hull and sat on a table to help him survive the sinking of the 90ft Jascon-4 boat last week.

The bodies of ten of the twelve crewmen aboard have been retrieved by rescue divers. The final sailor is missing, presumed drowned.




A Belgian diver volunteered to stay with Mr Harrison, who then had to spend time in a decompression chamber before returning to the surface so he would not die from the bends, reports Shipwreckology.

Rescuer Paul Harrison, a dynamic positioning officer, wrote on the GCaptain Facebook page: 'All on board could not believe how cool he was when being rescued.

'The divers put a diving helmet and harness onto him and he followed the diver to the bell were he was then taken to deck level and kept in the chamber and decompressed for two days.

'It was amazing to be part of this rescue and my sympathy is with the families who lost their loved ones.'

The 470-tonne boat was towing an oil tanker for oil giant Chevron when it went down 20 miles off the Escravos region of the Nigerian coast.


The rescue mission was called off on May 31 because weather conditions were too dangerous.

West African Ventures chief executive Jacques Roomans said: 'The survivor has been brought to the surface safely and he continues to respond to treatment.

'Our divers performed an extremely difficult and dangerous task in the most testing of conditions and we are grateful for their professional services as well as the contributions of many other personnel who helped in this challenging recovery operation.'

Jan Messchendorp, general manager of West African Ventures, said: 'We are very grateful for the survival of Mr Harrison. We express our sincere gratitude to our divers for their outstanding performance and their inexhaustible efforts made so far.

'Our thoughts continue to be with the families of the rest of the crew.'

I have actually ridden boats and catamarans several times went on a whale watch Saturday saw 2 humpback whales ,3 dolphins and 10 sea lions. I need a better camera though my cell phones shutter and optical zoom couldn't capture the humpback whales which dive fast.
