Good luck CPL Samuel Vickers!!!

(Germany sends what aid it can to assist its American allies)

 

[Patchy]

Technically the Korean War never ended and just had a ceasefire so it would just be a re-ignition of the original war, but since it is so far apart from the original conflict it would make sense that it would be called it's own separate war.

What I am curious about is how China and Russia respond to the new war.

 

[TheLastJacobite]

Well as he stated in the story, the PRC was helping the US and the South, which (given the degradation of relations between the DPRK and the PRC) is not all together unlikely in the event of an RL reigniting of the conflict. As for Russia, there's not a whole lot they could do one way or another with China fighting against the North, as that effectively seals off the whole country from outside help. Yes, Russia could try to fly or ship in aid, but then they'd piss off both the US and China, which is a rather nasty combination

Excellent story, Symphony

Since American forces took down their arty/air, would the NKoreans use their fledgling nukes as landmines or booby traps? Provided of course they were not all neutralized.

I wouldn't put it past them. Bury a nuke in a strategic village or pass, then detonate it remotely when our forces move in. Hell, they could even use it on Pyongyang if it was close to being captured. The story seemed to imply that there was some sort political/military instability that may make it difficult for them to access and deploy their nuclear weapons.

Kim Jong Un will win!

Even so, I'd imagine securing them would be top priority for both sides. People frown upon radiation like it's the end of the world.

I should note here that Crezth has sent orders for the UK. Post 228# has been updated accordingly.

United Nations Response to the Korea Crisis

* Secretary-General Albert Gore, Jr. has appointed a Special Representative to Korea, in the hopes that both sides will honor a sixty-day cease-fire and attend peace talks.

Conflict imperils the lives of millions of Koreans in Seoul alone. The world has seen, over and over again, the terrible results of a rush to war -- we believe that diplomatic avenues have not yet been exhausted, and hope that both sides will attend the emergency talks.

* The Secretary General has asked the Security Council to re-authorize UN Resolution 84, regarding the status of peacekeeping forces in Korea.

* Pursuant to articles 43 and 45 of the United Nations charter, Secretary-General Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. requests that the People's Republic of China, the United States of America, the French Republic, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Russian Federation attend talks for reviving the United Nations Military Staff Committee.

Spoiler anal need to correct :

Russian Federation

Canada, of course, calls for peace. Peace can be achieved without any bloodshed at all if both sides want it enough. The question is, do you want peace without blood, and how much are you willing to sacrifice for it?

For our part, we will not further the loss of life in Korea, but will dedicate all our active forces to a UN peacekeeping mission should one be called for. For the record, by peacekeeping we mean the interposition of neutral forces who will act to keep feuding parties separated.

French Republic, tc. :/

 

[talonschild]

You're right, Bair. Got the constitution mixed up with the state :/

 

[Lord of Elves]

The Republic of Brazil wholly supports the actions of the allied states in Korea, and looks forward to the defeat of the North Korean military regime. We must all stand up to defend freedom and liberty. Our disappointment in not being consulted in the matter of Brazilian military support for the intervention aside, we applaud its goals, and remain willing to supply Brazilian troops and materiel to its cause.

The United Kingdom stands by the United States and the Republic of Korea.

The Republic of India will stand by and give active military support to the current efforts in the Korean Peninsula; tyranny must fall.

OOC: I, and I imagine Azale, have no interest in turning an event far less than halfway through the update into a Real Time Event.

 

[madviking]

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condones the use of violence and hopes to solve the incident in Korea diplomatically.

It's also bizarre seeing lengthy posts by individuals who have yet to send orders
