Bipolar Korea


North Korea stated recently that if it doesn't get what it wants, it will tear up the armistice agreement that was drawn up in 1953.  This armistice is what ended the Korean War.  So what does the North want?  The isolated nation wants to have the joint drills between the US and South Korean forces cancelled.  These drills take place every year.  However, the North declared today that there is now a no fly and no sail zone off of its eastern and western coasts. Apparently they are holding their own drills - or that is the speculation anyway.  

Threats are nothing new but the North appears to be exhibiting bipolar behaviors of late.  Just last week, we witnessed a manic 'high' with the meeting between Kim Jong-Un and Dennis Rodman.  The 'I love you's' and BFF's put a bad taste in everyone's mouths - or at least those who are aware of the atrocities that these 'great leaders' impose upon their citizens.  Now that life is back to normal, we now see the North again spewing their threats and bullying against the US and the rest of the world.
