Yeah, it’s a computer game. But still...you never know. The MacGuffin here is the EMP/ “electronic pearl harbour” scenario, which is a big fave over on the right in the US. Note as well that Kim Jong Eun launches his whole bid for world domination by addressing the United Nations. Addenda: The chap who writes under the pseudonym Peter Lee had an interesting account the other week of South Korea’s post Cheonan unification ambitions. They don’t involve an invasion of the continental United States. Yet.
That said, just about every modern warfare based game has had a gleefully stupid geopolitical setup, exemplified by Modern Warfare 2 having the Russians launch an airborne invasion of the Eastern seaboard, elementary consideration of the required logistics chain be damned.
(The underrated Frontlines: Fuel of War stands out for having a depressingly plausible dystopian future involving scrabbling around for the last few traces of oil.)

I really think that the war is already started but it is only a silent war and by this one, we will never know which one is winning right now!

This game is basically to brainwash innocent people in US that North Korea is the enemy of people of US.
The true devils are within.
The ship was not sunk by North Korea.
The private investigator, Russia all confirmed that the over-rusted torpedo can not be the torpedo that sunk the ship.
Its all lie and brainwashing folks.!
