No, this isn't a bash _________ anyone thread by deluded conspiracy America haters. The U.N. will field a force to back up the existing 39,000 US troops, and crush the coming N. Korean offensive. My old unit here is tasked to deploy to Korea in just such an incident. Our warplans are drawn up to react on the violation of the CEASE FIRE signed 50 years ago. Do you think we will do a preemptive strike on the reactor soon? Do you think the Chinese will commit to the N. Korean side like 50 years ago? This is a U.N. fight, not just the U.S., disregarding the anti-American crowd here, do you think the U.N. will commit to this war?

SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- The North Korean army has brought light machine guns into the Demilitarized Zone, the United Nations Command on the Korean Peninsula said Friday -- a violation of agreements signed in 1953 at the end of the Korean War.
A U.N.C. Military Armistice Commission investigation revealed that the North Koreans had brought into the DMZ automatic weapons, the kind that can be operated by crews.
They were observed transporting, setting up and manning Type-73 light machine guns on six days between December 13 and December 20.
North Korea has been observed breaching the Demilitarized Zone from time to time.
The South Korean army spotted the weapons while providing security for workers building the reconnection of the Gyeongui railroad and adjacent highway between the two Koreas.
The South Koreans reported that their northern counterparts set up the weapons from 100 to 400 meters north of the line and removed them at the end of each day.
U.N.C. said that it sent a message December 23 to North Korea requesting a meeting on the issue, to be held December 26, but the North Koreans would not accept the message.
DEMILITARIZED ZONE
The demarcation line between North and South Korea is known as the 38th parallel.
The line is 2.5 miles wide and 151 miles long.
Nearly 2 million troops guard the line on both sides.
The Demilitarized Zone extends 2,000 meters from each side of the Military Demarcation Line, as agreed to in an armistice to the Korean War signed July 27, 1953.
According to U.S. and South Korean officials, two-thirds of North Korea's 1.1-million-member military are currently deployed close to the border with South Korea.
The U.N.C. report came on the same day that Pyongyang ordered International Atomic Energy Agency monitors to leave the country and began to restart dormant energy plants that the United States says could easily make nuclear weapons.
It also told the IAEA that it will resume operations at its plant for reprocessing spent fuel rods -- a facility capable of making weapons-grade plutonium.
