China is the country with known cyber attacks on the US(according to our government, but hey we are accepting the FBI's answer that this was NK). China has also been posturing with Japan in the surrounding waters(Sony is a Japanese company no matter what legal wrangling they use for Sony Pictures Entertainment). China is also a border country of NK, how inconceivable is it that a North(or South) Korean/s was working for China?

But apparently NK was bothered enough by another comedy movie making fun of their backward country that they executed a sophisticated months long cyber attack and then released the spoils of war for free with only some anonymous postings detailing their motives.

Assuming it really was North Korea, I hope they will come up with a sensible response. Maybe another funny movie. Or just suck it up and be better prepared next time. But not something as disproportionate as the 9/11 reaction.

Any excuse to initiate any type of attack on another country. This is getting ridiculous and blown out of proportion like everything else does outside the US.

"Proportionate" retaliation means releasing emails from one of NK's top commercial film studios?

"Proportionate" doesn't mean "identical", particularly when the two parties involved are not otherwise similarly situated.
