Woke up this morning to enjoy my cup of tea while media is bombing us with news about the critical situation between North and South Korea. The East is literally smoking like my cup of hot tea.
Tensions are rising after the parts exchanged some heavy-armed fire. According to the Wall Street Journal what is happening now is pretty unstable. Dozens of artillery were fired at a North Korean base that had launched a rocket over the border this Thursday. South Korea keeps its loud speakers spreading anti-Pyongyang propaganda. This drives North Korea crazy, which is why they threatened with more attacks if these actions wont finish within 48 hours.
The propaganda against Pyongyang started after United Nations declared North Korea responsible for the mine blast on 4th August that killed 2 South Korean soldiers. Of course, North Korea denies its involvement and continues to fight against all the anti-Pyongyang propaganda especially because it contains also criticism on North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. In order to be loyal to their leader, North Koreans try to shut up all the propaganda.
So what should we be waiting for? Is the threat real? Until now, North Korea has shown different situations in which the threats remained locked to the abstract world being limited to just words. Despite all this, their young leader Kim Jong Un denotes unpredictability as proven in 23 November 2010 with the deadly attack on Yeongpyeong.
The threat is real but all we can do is to pray for Korea and world peace by keeping in mind what Albert Enstein said:
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
