North Korea shells South Korea: Twitter users react November 23, 2010

Koreas

As news of North Korea’s shelling of a populated South Korean island broke late Monday, Twitter users shared their reactions on the social network.

The Twitter conversation tags #prayforkorea, #koreapeace and #koreas all trended on Twitter. A selection of Tweets are below.

A statement released by the White House said: "Earlier today North Korea conducted an artillery attack against the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong. We are in close and continuing contact with our Korean allies.

The United States strongly condemns this attack and calls on North Korea to halt its belligerent action and to fully abide by the terms of the Armistice Agreement.

"The United States is firmly committed to the defense of our ally, the Republic of Korea, and to the maintenance of regional peace and stability."

As of 1:20 a.m. PST, South Korea said it had returned fire after North Korea shelled the island of Yeonpyeong near the border in the Yellow Sea, killing at least one. North Korea, which blocks its ...

... citizens’ access to Twitter, has not commented. The two nations have remained on a war footing since the breakdown of a 1953 treaty.

-- Craig Howie

Tatarewicz: Could be a case of US/Israel ship firing to get a war going between N/S to be used as a pretext for knocking out the North's nuclear works which are a worry to Israel. The last (likely Israeli false flag) attack on a South ship didn't work so worth a second try.

we should recall that in the 1990's the US invested heavily to build up North Korea's nuclear industry. the government said that North Korea was poor and needed aid. and building a nuclear power industry for them was our way of aiding them. This is what our government said and did. Now our government says that because they have a nuclear industry we should make war against them.

Rumsfeld and North Korea by Steven G.

US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was a director of a company that designed nuclear power plants for North Korea, an 'axis of evil' country:

Hmmm.

This page is a list of directors of the multinational company ABB, an engineering company which among other things, designs nuclear power plants ó Scroll down a bit to the 'management' section... Donald Rumsfeld was a director of this company from 2000-2001.

Mr. Rumsfeld is in private business and is Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gilead Sciences, Inc. He serves as a member of the boards of directors of ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) Ltd. (Zurich, Switzerland), Amylin Pharmaceuticals, and Tribune Company ... ' (OK, this page might be out of date, but there's no secret he was a director of ABB)

Now check this out: Shinpo nuclear power plant, North Korea. There are a couple of mentions of ABB in this document ó notably that the plant is based on a design by ABB.

Here's a piece from 1996: DOE approves US involvement in the construction of reactors in North Korea. 3rd paragraph down: 'ABB Combustion Engineering Nuclear Systems (C-E), a wholly owned subsidiary of Norwalk, Connecticut-based ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) Inc., was authorized to provide a broad range of technology, equipment, and services for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the two reactors to be built in North Korea.

Then there's this one from 2000: Investing in North Korea: as easy as ABB?

And none of this is a secret in Mr. Rumsfeld's resume.

Of course, no-one could be cynical enough to think this has any effect on US policy or anything, but Ö does this mean that Donald Rumsfeld was a director of a company that designed nuclear power plants for North Korea, an 'axis of evil' country?

ABB of course is based in Switzerland and Sweden, neutral countries which probably don't have strong restrictions on trading with North Korea. So effectively Rumsfeld's company was selling nuclear technology to a state which follows an ideology which is extremely hostile to everything the US is supposed to stand for, using the fact that the company is based in neutral countries. This isn't against the letter of the law (as the appropriate licenses were granted and the company is based in neutral countries anyway), but to me, it seems ethically bankrupt.

Your thoughts please? Steven G.

His resume appears to be, by the standards of US government work, outstanding. Clearly Rumsfeld had exactly the qualifications Bush was looking for in a Secretary of Defense.
