Selling Stealth Jets To South Korea
Tension on the Korean Peninsula may be bad for world peace, but it could be good news for two big defense contractors. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency says both Lockheed Martin and Boeing are now authorized to sell new stealth jets to South Korea. Lockheed can sell up to 60 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters. They'd be worth nearly $11 billion. Or South Korea can select 60 Boeing F-15 SE Silent Eagles. They'd be worth $2.4 billon. South Korea's fleet now consists of Vietnam-era F-4s and F-5s jets.

2 of North Koreas subs have DISSAPEARED.If any US news sources are carrying that info I am unaware of it.That removes a lot of their up close and personal strike capability.That could also explain why they're so pissed.
North Korea has an antiquated military with missiles that can barely reach South Korea. Our corporate, state run media is war mongering for the military industrial complex. North Korea is no real threat.
You are correct, 856. North Korea is nothing. If Kim tries anything, I'm sure we're ready, and a drone strike will take him out the first day. No "war" will be necessary, unless the DOD needs more federal funding.
Could this whole thing be a distraction from the real issues our country is facing? I mean this nonsense has been going on since this 50's. It seams like the media always steps it up a notch when there are other real issues in house. Example: the Patraeus affair in the midst of the "fast & furious" and "Benghazi" events prior to the election.
