For centuries, the Korean peninsula has been marked by competing dynasties and a political tug-of-war.
In the 7th century, the three rival kingdoms were united under the Koryo dynasty, from which the word “Korea” is derived.
After WWII, with Chinese and Soviet support, North Korea invaded the south in 1950. The U.S. sent troops to defend its ally and stop the advance of communism.Three years later, fighting in the Korean War ended. But with no peace treaty, North and South Korea are technically still at war.
More than 60 years later, the U.S. still has tens of thousands of troops based in South Korea

The arrival of the F-22 fighter jets in South Korea has been the latest in a series of moves by the U.S. military after North Korea's recent provocations.
These are all leading up to next month's joint South Korea-U.S. military drills.
Kwon Jang-ho introduces us to these strategic weapons and what their presences means for both South Korea's and their neighbouring countries.
After North Korea's recent missile launch and the nuclear bomb test in January, the U.S. has been quick to move its military assets to the Korean peninsula, on land, sea and air, in an apparent show of force.
In the air, the crown jewel in the U.S. air force, four F-22 stealth fighter jets, flew over South Korean airspace on Wednesday.
Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor is a powerful aircraft capable of 360-degree midair rotations and can clock up to 8,000 flight hours.
It is only one of few aircraft units that can supercruise, or keep up supersonic flight, and can fly at a maximum speed of 2,400 kilometers per hour.
The F-22's stealth technology and high-tech features are so advanced, the jet cannot be exported by U.S. federal law.
Before that a B-52 bomber, capable of carrying 32 tons of weapons, flew over the peninsula in January.
B-2 stealth bombers are also expected to arrive in the next few weeks.
"The F-22 is considered one of the best fighter jets in the world. It's stealth abilities are the model's biggest assets. With it's radar capabilities and weapons, the F-22 is a weapon that can be a great show of force against North Korea."
At the sea, the attack submarine USS North Carolina arrived in the port city of Busan, south of the country, on Tuesday for joint training.
Carrying a crew of 130 people, it can launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and Mark 48 torpedoes.
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis is to participate in an annual South Korea-U.S. defense drill in March.
The supercarrier is the size of three-football fields, capable of carrying 90 F-16 fighter jets and helicopters, and a crew of 5,000.
And finally on the ground, the U.S. has added an extra battery of patriot missiles over the weekend.
The ground-to-air missile defense system is able to intercept short to mid-range missiles.
Altogether it's a formidable combined force that is being gathered against North Korea on top of the 30-thousand troops that are already stationed in South Korea.
"This show of force is not only a preventive measure against another North Korean provocation, ...but also, efforts by the U.S. to put pressure on the international community to push through talks of sanctions at the UN Security Council."
All this is leading up to next month's joint South Korea-U.S. military exercises, the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle.
It will be the biggest joint military drills the two nations have ever performed, and even before North Korea's recent actions, they had already generated tension with the regime.
But it remains difficult to predict how the North will react.
"North Korea could show further shows-of-strength before or after the Key Resolve drills, such as another rocket launch or a missile launch from the sea...but chances are, rather than retaliating to the U.S.'s pressure, the regime will want to avoid conflict, and perhaps even suggest opening talks."
The U.S.'s show of strength has also had effects on neighboring nations.
China on Wednesday mobilized surface-to-air missiles to their man-made, territorially disputed islands in the South China Sea.
This comes as U.S. president Obama met with ASEAN leaders at a summit in California, with the South China Sea territorial disputes being one of the key agenda on the table...
but the deployment of the missile launchers were also thought to be in response to the U.S.'s military movements in the Korean peninsula.
"The U.S.'s deployment and development of strategic weapons are seen as threats by China. ...In other words, it can be seen that through North Korea's nuclear tests and missile launches, the Korean peninsula as well as the Northeast Asia region as a whole, have been put in the middle of U.S.-China power games."

국방부 "美서 사드배치 협의요청 없다…주한미군 배치 안보도움"
The deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, known as THAAD is again being discussed after the latest string of provocative moves by North Korea.
If Seoul does decide to introduce the U.S. anti-ballistic missile system in South Korea, it will risk facing strong opposition from China.
Connie Kim reports.
South Korea has shown an unusually positive stance regarding the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system on the Korean peninsula.
Seoul's defense ministry spokesperson said Friday the deployment of the THAAD system by the U.S. Forces Korea will help South Korea's national security and defense,…
adding that Seoul is considering every measure to prepare against North Korean missile threats.
Spokesperson Kim, however, dismissed a U.S. news report that claimed Seoul and Washington could announce results of a THAAD system deployment meeting next week.
Fueling speculation, an official from the presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae called discussions over the THAAD system deployment inevitable as China is ruling out additional sanctions on North Korea.
An option the presidential office is reviewing is the Terminal-based Radar that has a range of less than one-thousand kilometers, which is much shorter than the Forward-based radar that can monitor up to two thousand kilometers.
This means the Terminal-based Radar won't be able to reach Beijing, even if the THAAD system was to be deployed from Pyeongtaek, a potential site that's closest to China.
Beijing's foreign ministry has expressed hope that Seoul will be prudent in its decision regarding the THAAD system deployment.
China has long been against the idea as mainland China could be subject to monitoring.
Analysts say South Korea's change in stance is sending a strong message to Beijing, North Korea's close ally.
"South Korea may be pressuring Beijing which has been taking a passive stance on imposing heavy sanctions against North Korea following its nuclear test."
"Seoul’s shift on its stance regarding the deployment of the THAAD system on the Korean peninsula is adding to speculation it could be implemented….risking difficult diplomatic relations with China.

North Korean Ambassador to the UK Hyon Hak Bong speaks at the CPGB-ML international celebration held recently in the party's London HQ in Ealing Southall.
The celebration is held annually to mark the importance of international solidarity to the working people in our diverse struggles, and in particular, the anniversary of the victory of the North Korean people over the US imperialists on 27 July 1953, and the storming of the Moncada barracks, on 26th July of the same year, by Castro and his comrades, that gave rise to a powerful revolutionary movement that went on to sweep the Caribbean island of the fascistic Batista regime, and spread Socialism and the message of the October revolution to the shores of the Americas.
In this brief excerpt from Ambassador Hyon's speech, he analyses the current ratcheting up of tension, including nuclear threats, on the Korean Peninsula.
He points out that lamentably, there is nothing new in this situation. There has been crisis after crisis on the Korean peninsula handed down from generation to generation, for over six decades.
The current form of the crisis is traceable directly to the situation left by the USA after their genocidal invasion and illegal partition of the Korean nation in 1950-53, when the US was responsible for the murder of an incredible 4 million Korean people - yet they talk of teh gall to talk about the danger emanating from the 'North Korean Regime'!
Although militarily defeated, by the combined strength of the North Korean troops, allied with the South Korean resistance as well as Soviet Union and in particular Communist China, the US did not sign a peace treaty, but rather an armistice agreement. Thus came about an armed truce that left them in occupation of the south, propping up a fascist dictatorship, now rebranded democracy, and leaving the southern 'Republic of Korea' strewn with massive military airfields, bases, and naval ports.
"For sixty years, we have had neither peace nor war," says Comrade Hyon.
30,000 US troops are permanently stationed in the south, and they have command of a further 1.5 million south Korean men under arms. They have divided the country and patrol its borders aggressively, trampling on the rights of the so called 'independent' republic - where, we should note, it is illegal to express sympathy with the North, or display their flag or other communist symbols, and citizens languish in political prisons for just these crimes.
Moreover, the US is intent on stationing not only more nuclear missiles and submarines in the south, as well as nuclear armed stealth bombers, but they stage with increasing frequency massive military manoeuvres simulating all out nuclear war on the North, aimed at destroying its leadership and occupying its capital.
In light of this constant and ongoing aggression the DPRK (North Korea) has developed a policy of simultaneously developing its infrastructure and military and has overcome considerable technical and economic difficulties to arm itself with conventional and nuclear weapons capable of striking regional US targets.
The US and imperialist mass media is posturing about the 'unstable' North Koreans having nuclear weapons, but it is the US who have the lions share of nuclear weapons, the US who have used them, the US that is aggressively dividing and occupying the Korean nation, the US who has committed genocide in Korea and across the world, and the US that not only maintains a first strike policy but publishes its list of target nations with North Korea prominently atop the list.
All progressive people who have any knowledge of the workings of imperialism - in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, in Afghanistan, in Central and South America, in Venezuela, in Cuba, and throughout the world must support the right of the North Korea people to self-determination and self defence.
Long live the heroic people of the DPRK and their leadership, the Workers Party of Korea!
Down with imperialist occupation of the South! Korea is one!

The Korean Peninsula faced a new standoff between the North and South along the Demilitarized Zone conducting a complicated environment. On Aug. 20, North and South Korean forces exchanged fire across the inter-Korean border. The South has also raised its military readiness alert to its highest level, "Jindogae 1".
The latest exchange comes as tension is high on the Korean Peninsula, following the maiming of two South Korean soldiers by a land mine on August 4 as they were conducting a patrol inside the South Korean half of the 4-kilometer-wide Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, that separates the two countries. Seoul accused North Korea of infiltrating the DMZ and planting the mine. Also, the South Korea began anti-North propaganda broadcasts from a number of towers along the border.
The North Koreans have issued numerous statements over the past week regarding the start of the broadcasts and the ongoing annual joint Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercise between the United States and the South. This year's drills, that began on Aug. 17 and are slated to run through to Aug. 28, involve 50,000 South Korean soldiers and 30,000 of the US servicemen. Pyongyang views Ulchi Freedom Guardian as practice for an invasion of North Korea.
Despite the alert levels, however, it is possible that the situation will rapidly de-escalate, because both sides seek to practice restraint to avoid a larger conflict. On Saturday, the two Korean envoys began talks on the border crisis following tensions that saw an exchange of fire, a land mine explosion in the demilitarized border zone and S. Korea's "propaganda broadcasts." As result, N. Korea has admitted it "regrets" S. Korean soldiers' injuries in landmine blasts that fueled the border conflict, as S. Korea has promised to halt its broadcasts into the north. North Korea has also reportedly pledged to end a "semi-state of war," while South Korea will stop its border broadcasts at noon Tuesday if no abnormal situations occur in the near future. Koreas have also reportedly agreed to hold new talks in Seoul or Pyongyang as soon as possible.
However, unlike the March 2010 surprise sinking of the ROKS Cheonan, a South Korean navy corvette, and the November 2010 bombardment of Yeonpyeong Island, the current skirmishes are taking place along the DMZ. Preventing a major escalation is significantly more complicated along this strip, where the presence of two armies in close proximity raises the risk of the escalation.
The situation is further challenged by an aggressive South Korean stance supported by the US. According to Korean military sources the US has been considering to dispatch B-52 or a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and a nuclear-powered submarine currently stationed at Japan's Yokosuka naval base. In turn North Korea has deployed about 20 amphibious landing craft to the Northern Limit Line, the inter-Korean border in the Yellow Sea. Since the beginning of the standoff last week Pyongyang has doubled its artillery power and sent more than 50 North Korean submarines out for
operations. The US has previously dispatched its military assets to the peninsula to support Seoul in its stand-off with Pyongyang two years ago. In April 2013 it had flown B-2 stealth bombers.
Today, a significant role of solving the crisis in the Korean peninsula belongs to China. For it and Russia the escalation will mean arise of a new hot point around the borders. Amid the economical crisis and a destabilization of much key regions of the world, a new military conflict isn't in interests of China and Russia. In this context, we should point out an aggressive policy of the USA and a militarist rhetoric of South Korea. Once again, the US and its allies use any case for attempts to conduct a military conflict in Eurasia.
Meanwhile the Korean conflict is still unresolved, the region periodically goes through high tension that occasionally result in bloody military collisions. Both sides are keen to avoid a full-scale destabilizing conflict, but with millions of troops facing each other across the DMZ, the risk of escalation is ever present. The current standoff could still rapidly dissipate, but it is important to remember that war is a persistent risk under these circumstances.

한미 한국 사드 배치 결정 MNG
We start with a decision that will undoubtedly have massive security implications throughout the region.
South Korea and the United States have confirmed that the U.S. missile defense system known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense or THAAD WILL be deployed to the Korean Peninsula.
The decision follows months of negotiations between the two allies.
THAAD is designed to take down incoming North Korean missiles,... but its deployment is bound to spark controversy,... especially as China and Russia are deeply against it.
For more we connect live to our defense correspondent Kim Hyun-bin who is standing by at the Ministry of National Defense in Seoul.
Hyun-bin,... huge news...
That's right,... Mark.
South Korea's defense ministry announced within the hour that Seoul and Washington have decided to deploy THAAD to South Korea to better counter North Korea's weapons systems.
Let's hear what the defense ministry has to say.
" To protect our citizens and U.S. Forces Korea from North Korea's weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, the two allies have decided to deploy THAAD to the Korean Peninsula."
WMD , .
Ministry officials added that the allies are still searching for a location,... with consideration for area residents and the U.S. forces in South Korea.
The ministry says that the goal is to deploy THAAD to the Korean peninsula before the end of 2017.
A joint working group has been working on that since February.
Now that the decision to bring THAAD here has been finalized,... the group will focus all of its attention on finding a suitable location.
The ministry says that it is in the final stages of making the decision, and will make an announcement within a couple of weeks at the latest.
Experts have suggested either Chilgok in Gyeongsangbuk-do province, as it could cover U.S. bases in Daegu and most of the South Korean peninsula,... or Pyeongtaek in Gyeonggi-do province.
China has reiterated its opposition to the deployment, and urged the U.S. and South Korea to put an end to its plans.In a nod to Beijing and Moscow's concerns about THAAD's powerful radar system,... the ministry stressed that THAAD is purely for defense purposes,... to counter the provocations from North Korea.
That's all I have for now, but I'll have more updates later in the day.
Back to you.

Korean Peninsula
The Korean Peninsula is a peninsula in East Asia. It extends southwards for about 684 miles (1,100 km) from continental Asia into the Pacific Ocean and is surrounded by the Sea of Japan (In Korea known as Donghae/East Sea) to the east, and the Yellow Sea to the west, the Korea Strait connecting the first two bodies of water.
History
Until the end of World War II, Korea was a single political entity whose territory roughly coincided with the Korean Peninsula. Since the Armistice Agreement ended the Korean War in 1953, the northern division of the peninsula has been governed by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, while the southern portion has been governed by the Republic of Korea.
The northern boundaries for the Korean Peninsula are commonly (and tacitly) taken to coincide with today's political borders between North Korea and its northern neighbors, China (1,416 km (880 mi) along the provinces of Jilin and Liaoning) and Russia (19 km (12 mi)). These borders are formed naturally by the rivers Yalu/Amnok and Tumen/Tuman/Duman. Taking this definition, the Korean Peninsula (including its islands) has an area of 220,847 km2 (85,270 sq mi).

The celebration is held annually to mark the importance of international solidarity to the working people in our diverse struggles, and in particular, the anniversary of the victory of the North Korean people over the US imperialists on 27 July 1953, and the storming of the Moncada barracks, on 26th July of the same year, by Castro and his comrades, that gave rise to a powerful revolutionary movement that went on to sweep the Caribbean island of the fascistic Batista regime, and spread Socialism and the message of the October revolution to the shores of the Americas. In this brief excerpt from Ambassador Hyon's speech, he analyses the current ratcheting up of tension, including nuclear threats, on the Korean Peninsula. He points out that lamentably, there is nothing new in this situation. There has been crisis after crisis on the Korean peninsula handed down from generation to generation, for over six decades. The current form of the crisis is traceable directly to the situation left by the USA after their genocidal invasion and illegal partition of the Korean nation in 1950-53, when the US was responsible for the murder of an incredible 4 million Korean people - yet they talk of teh gall to talk about the danger emanating from the 'North Korean Regime'! Although militarily defeated, by the combined strength of the North Korean troops, allied with the South Korean resistance as well as Soviet Union and in particular Communist China, the US did not sign a peace treaty, but rather an armistice agreement. Thus came about an armed truce that left them in occupation of the south, propping up a fascist dictatorship, now rebranded democracy, and leaving the southern 'Republic of Korea' strewn with massive military airfields, bases, and naval ports. "For sixty years, we have had neither peace nor war," says Comrade Hyon. 30,000 US troops are permanently stationed in the south, and they have command of a further 1.5 million south Korean men under arms. They have divided the country and patrol its borders aggressively, trampling on the rights of the so called 'independent' republic - where, we should note, it is illegal to express sympathy with the North, or display their flag or other communist symbols, and citizens languish in political prisons for just these crimes. Moreover, the US is intent on stationing not only more nuclear missiles and submarines in the south, as well as nuclear armed stealth bombers, but they stage with increasing frequency massive military manoeuvres simulating all out nuclear war on the North, aimed at destroying its leadership and occupying its capital. In light of this constant and ongoing aggression the DPRK (North Korea) has developed a policy of simultaneously developing its infrastructure and military and has overcome considerable technical and economic difficulties to arm itself with conventional and nuclear weapons capable of striking regional US targets. The US and imperialist mass media is posturing about the 'unstable' North Koreans having nuclear weapons, but it is the US who have the lions share of nuclear weapons, the US who have used them, the US that is aggressively dividing and occupying the Korean nation, the US who has committed genocide in Korea and across the world, and the US that not only maintains a first strike policy but publishes its list of target nations with North Korea prominently atop the list. All progressive people who have any knowledge of the workings of imperialism - in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, in Afghanistan, in Central and South America, in Venezuela, in Cuba, and throughout the world must support the right of the North Korea people to self-determination and self defence. Long live the heroic people of the DPRK and their leadership, the Workers Party of Korea! Down with imperialist occupation of the South! Korea is one! _______________________________________________ Subscribe to LALKAR and Proletarian and visit the CPGB-ML bookstore: http://www.proletarianonline.org/ Donate!

On Aug. 20, North and South Korean forces exchanged fire across the inter-Korean border. The South has also raised its military readiness alert to its highest level, "Jindogae 1". The latest exchange comes as tension is high on the Korean Peninsula, following the maiming of two South Korean soldiers by a land mine on August 4 as they were conducting a patrol inside the South Korean half of the 4-kilometer-wide Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, that separates the two countries. Seoul accused North Korea of infiltrating the DMZ and planting the mine. Also, the South Korea began anti-North propaganda broadcasts from a number of towers along the border. The North Koreans have issued numerous statements over the past week regarding the start of the broadcasts and the ongoing annual joint Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercise between the United States and the South. This year's drills, that began on Aug. 17 and are slated to run through to Aug. 28, involve 50,000 South Korean soldiers and 30,000 of the US servicemen. Pyongyang views Ulchi Freedom Guardian as practice for an invasion of North Korea. Despite the alert levels, however, it is possible that the situation will rapidly de-escalate, because both sides seek to practice restraint to avoid a larger conflict. On Saturday, the two Korean envoys began talks on the border crisis following tensions that saw an exchange of fire, a land mine explosion in the demilitarized border zone and S. Korea's "propaganda broadcasts." As result, N. Korea has admitted it "regrets" S. Korean soldiers' injuries in landmine blasts that fueled the border conflict, as S. Korea has promised to halt its broadcasts into the north. North Korea has also reportedly pledged to end a "semi-state of war," while South Korea will stop its border broadcasts at noon Tuesday if no abnormal situations occur in the near future. Koreas have also reportedly agreed to hold new talks in Seoul or Pyongyang as soon as possible. However, unlike the March 2010 surprise sinking of the ROKS Cheonan, a South Korean navy corvette, and the November 2010 bombardment of Yeonpyeong Island, the current skirmishes are taking place along the DMZ. Preventing a major escalation is significantly more complicated along this strip, where the presence of two armies in close proximity raises the risk of the escalation. The situation is further challenged by an aggressive South Korean stance supported by the US. According to Korean military sources the US has been considering to dispatch B-52 or a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and a nuclear-powered submarine currently stationed at Japan's Yokosuka naval base. In turn North Korea has deployed about 20 amphibious landing craft to the Northern Limit Line, the inter-Korean border in the Yellow Sea. Since the beginning of the standoff last week Pyongyang has doubled its artillery power and sent more than 50 North Korean submarines out for operations. The US has previously dispatched its military assets to the peninsula to support Seoul in its stand-off with Pyongyang two years ago. In April 2013 it had flown B-2 stealth bombers. Today, a significant role of solving the crisis in the Korean peninsula belongs to China. For it and Russia the escalation will mean arise of a new hot point around the borders. Amid the economical crisis and a destabilization of much key regions of the world, a new military conflict isn't in interests of China and Russia. In this context, we should point out an aggressive policy of the USA and a militarist rhetoric of South Korea. Once again, the US and its allies use any case for attempts to conduct a military conflict in Eurasia. Meanwhile the Korean conflict is still unresolved, the region periodically goes through high tension that occasionally result in bloody military collisions. Both sides are keen to avoid a full-scale destabilizing conflict, but with millions of troops facing each other across the DMZ, the risk of escalation is ever present. The current standoff could still rapidly dissipate, but it is important to remember that war is a persistent risk under these circumstances.

한미 한국 사드 배치 결정 MNG We start with a decision that will undoubtedly have massive security implications throughout the region. South Korea and the United States have confirmed that the U.S. missile defense system known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense or THAAD WILL be deployed to the Korean Peninsula. The decision follows months of negotiations between the two allies. THAAD is designed to take down incoming North Korean missiles,... but its deployment is bound to spark controversy,... especially as China and Russia are deeply against it. For more we connect live to our defense correspondent Kim Hyun-bin who is standing by at the Ministry of National Defense in Seoul. Hyun-bin,... huge news... That's right,... Mark. South Korea's defense ministry announced within the hour that Seoul and Washington have decided to deploy THAAD to South Korea to better counter North Korea's weapons systems. Let's hear what the defense ministry has to say. " To protect our citizens and U.S. Forces Korea from North Korea's weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, the two allies have decided to deploy THAAD to the Korean Peninsula." WMD , . Ministry officials added that the allies are still searching for a location,... with consideration for area residents and the U.S. forces in South Korea. The ministry says that the goal is to deploy THAAD to the Korean peninsula before the end of 2017. A joint working group has been working on that since February. Now that the decision to bring THAAD here has been finalized,... the group will focus all of its attention on finding a suitable location. The ministry says that it is in the final stages of making the decision, and will make an announcement within a couple of weeks at the latest. Experts have suggested either Chilgok in Gyeongsangbuk-do province, as it could cover U.S. bases in Daegu and most of the South Korean peninsula,... or Pyeongtaek in Gyeonggi-do province. China has reiterated its opposition to the deployment, and urged the U.S. and South Korea to put an end to its plans.In a nod to Beijing and Moscow's concerns about THAAD's powerful radar system,... the ministry stressed that THAAD is purely for defense purposes,... to counter the provocations from North Korea.

The arrival of the F-22 fighter jets in South Korea has been the latest in a series of moves by the U.S. military after North Korea's recent provocations.
These are all leading up to next month's joint South Korea-U.S. military drills.
Kwon Jang-ho introduces us to these strategic weapons and what their presences means for both South Korea's and their neighbouring countries.
After North Korea's recent missile launch and the nuclear bomb test in January, the U.S. has been quick to move its military assets to the Korean peninsula, on land, sea and air, in an apparent show of force.
In the air, the crown jewel in the U.S. air force, four F-22 stealth fighter jets, flew over South Korean airspace on Wednesday.
Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor is a powerful aircraft capable of 360-degree midair rotations and can clock up to 8,000 flight hours.
It is only one of few aircraft units that can supercruise, or keep up supersonic flight, and can fly at a maximum speed of 2,400 kilometers per hour.
The F-22's stealth technology and high-tech features are so advanced, the jet cannot be exported by U.S. federal law.
Before that a B-52 bomber, capable of carrying 32 tons of weapons, flew over the peninsula in January.
B-2 stealth bombers are also expected to arrive in the next few weeks.
"The F-22 is considered one of the best fighter jets in the world. It's stealth abilities are the model's biggest assets. With it's radar capabilities and weapons, the F-22 is a weapon that can be a great show of force against North Korea."
At the sea, the attack submarine USS North Carolina arrived in the port city of Busan, south of the country, on Tuesday for joint training.
Carrying a crew of 130 people, it can launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and Mark 48 torpedoes.
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis is to participate in an annual South Korea-U.S. defense drill in March.
The supercarrier is the size of three-football fields, capable of carrying 90 F-16 fighter jets and helicopters, and a crew of 5,000.
And finally on the ground, the U.S. has added an extra battery of patriot missiles over the weekend.
The ground-to-air missile defense system is able to intercept short to mid-range missiles.
Altogether it's a formidable combined force that is being gathered against North Korea on top of the 30-thousand troops that are already stationed in South Korea.
"This show of force is not only a preventive measure against another North Korean provocation, ...but also, efforts by the U.S. to put pressure on the international community to push through talks of sanctions at the UN Security Council."
All this is leading up to next month's joint South Korea-U.S. military exercises, the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle.
It will be the biggest joint military drills the two nations have ever performed, and even before North Korea's recent actions, they had already generated tension with the regime.
But it remains difficult to predict how the North will react.
"North Korea could show further shows-of-strength before or after the Key Resolve drills, such as another rocket launch or a missile launch from the sea...but chances are, rather than retaliating to the U.S.'s pressure, the regime will want to avoid conflict, and perhaps even suggest opening talks."
The U.S.'s show of strength has also had effects on neighboring nations.
China on Wednesday mobilized surface-to-air missiles to their man-made, territorially disputed islands in the South China Sea.
This comes as U.S. president Obama met with ASEAN leaders at a summit in California, with the South China Sea territorial disputes being one of the key agenda on the table...
but the deployment of the missile launchers were also thought to be in response to the U.S.'s military movements in the Korean peninsula.
"The U.S.'s deployment and development of strategic weapons are seen as threats by China. ...In other words, it can be seen that through North Korea's nuclear tests and missile launches, the Korean peninsula as well as the Northeast Asia region as a whole, have been put in the middle of U.S.-China power games."

국방부 "美서 사드배치 협의요청 없다…주한미군 배치 안보도움"
The deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, known as THAAD is again being discussed after the latest string of provocative moves by North Korea.
If Seoul does decide to introduce the U.S. anti-ballistic missile system in South Korea, it will risk facing strong opposition from China.
Connie Kim reports.
South Korea has shown an unusually positive stance regarding the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system on the Korean peninsula.
Seoul's defense ministry spokesperson said Friday the deployment of the THAAD system by the U.S. Forces Korea will help South Korea's national security and defense,…
adding that Seoul is considering every measure to prepare against North Korean missile threats.
Spokesperson Kim, however, dismissed a U.S. news report that claimed Seoul and Washington could announce results of a THAAD system deployment meeting next week.
Fueling speculation, an official from the presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae called discussions over the THAAD system deployment inevitable as China is ruling out additional sanctions on North Korea.
An option the presidential office is reviewing is the Terminal-based Radar that has a range of less than one-thousand kilometers, which is much shorter than the Forward-based radar that can monitor up to two thousand kilometers.
This means the Terminal-based Radar won't be able to reach Beijing, even if the THAAD system was to be deployed from Pyeongtaek, a potential site that's closest to China.
Beijing's foreign ministry has expressed hope that Seoul will be prudent in its decision regarding the THAAD system deployment.
China has long been against the idea as mainland China could be subject to monitoring.
Analysts say South Korea's change in stance is sending a strong message to Beijing, North Korea's close ally.
"South Korea may be pressuring Beijing which has been taking a passive stance on imposing heavy sanctions against North Korea following its nuclear test."
"Seoul’s shift on its stance regarding the deployment of the THAAD system on the Korean peninsula is adding to speculation it could be implemented….risking difficult diplomatic relations with China.

North Korean Ambassador to the UK Hyon Hak Bong speaks at the CPGB-ML international celebration held recently in the party's London HQ in Ealing Southall.
The celebration is held annually to mark the importance of international solidarity to the working people in our diverse struggles, and in particular, the anniversary of the victory of the North Korean people over the US imperialists on 27 July 1953, and the storming of the Moncada barracks, on 26th July of the same year, by Castro and his comrades, that gave rise to a powerful revolutionary movement that went on to sweep the Caribbean island of the fascistic Batista regime, and spread Socialism and the message of the October revolution to the shores of the Americas.
In this brief excerpt from Ambassador Hyon's speech, he analyses the current ratcheting up of tension, including nuclear threats, on the Korean Peninsula.
He points out that lamentably, there is nothing new in this situation. There has been crisis after crisis on the Korean peninsula handed down from generation to generation, for over six decades.
The current form of the crisis is traceable directly to the situation left by the USA after their genocidal invasion and illegal partition of the Korean nation in 1950-53, when the US was responsible for the murder of an incredible 4 million Korean people - yet they talk of teh gall to talk about the danger emanating from the 'North Korean Regime'!
Although militarily defeated, by the combined strength of the North Korean troops, allied with the South Korean resistance as well as Soviet Union and in particular Communist China, the US did not sign a peace treaty, but rather an armistice agreement. Thus came about an armed truce that left them in occupation of the south, propping up a fascist dictatorship, now rebranded democracy, and leaving the southern 'Republic of Korea' strewn with massive military airfields, bases, and naval ports.
"For sixty years, we have had neither peace nor war," says Comrade Hyon.
30,000 US troops are permanently stationed in the south, and they have command of a further 1.5 million south Korean men under arms. They have divided the country and patrol its borders aggressively, trampling on the rights of the so called 'independent' republic - where, we should note, it is illegal to express sympathy with the North, or display their flag or other communist symbols, and citizens languish in political prisons for just these crimes.
Moreover, the US is intent on stationing not only more nuclear missiles and submarines in the south, as well as nuclear armed stealth bombers, but they stage with increasing frequency massive military manoeuvres simulating all out nuclear war on the North, aimed at destroying its leadership and occupying its capital.
In light of this constant and ongoing aggression the DPRK (North Korea) has developed a policy of simultaneously developing its infrastructure and military and has overcome considerable technical and economic difficulties to arm itself with conventional and nuclear weapons capable of striking regional US targets.
The US and imperialist mass media is posturing about the 'unstable' North Koreans having nuclear weapons, but it is the US who have the lions share of nuclear weapons, the US who have used them, the US that is aggressively dividing and occupying the Korean nation, the US who has committed genocide in Korea and across the world, and the US that not only maintains a first strike policy but publishes its list of target nations with North Korea prominently atop the list.
All progressive people who have any knowledge of the workings of imperialism - in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, in Afghanistan, in Central and South America, in Venezuela, in Cuba, and throughout the world must support the right of the North Korea people to self-determination and self defence.
Long live the heroic people of the DPRK and their leadership, the Workers Party of Korea!
Down with imperialist occupation of the South! Korea is one!

The Korean Peninsula faced a new standoff between the North and South along the Demilitarized Zone conducting a complicated environment. On Aug. 20, North and South Korean forces exchanged fire across the inter-Korean border. The South has also raised its military readiness alert to its highest level, "Jindogae 1".
The latest exchange comes as tension is high on the Korean Peninsula, following the maiming of two South Korean soldiers by a land mine on August 4 as they were conducting a patrol inside the South Korean half of the 4-kilometer-wide Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, that separates the two countries. Seoul accused North Korea of infiltrating the DMZ and planting the mine. Also, the South Korea began anti-North propaganda broadcasts from a number of towers along the border.
The North Koreans have issued numerous statements over the past week regarding the start of the broadcasts and the ongoing annual joint Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercise between the United States and the South. This year's drills, that began on Aug. 17 and are slated to run through to Aug. 28, involve 50,000 South Korean soldiers and 30,000 of the US servicemen. Pyongyang views Ulchi Freedom Guardian as practice for an invasion of North Korea.
Despite the alert levels, however, it is possible that the situation will rapidly de-escalate, because both sides seek to practice restraint to avoid a larger conflict. On Saturday, the two Korean envoys began talks on the border crisis following tensions that saw an exchange of fire, a land mine explosion in the demilitarized border zone and S. Korea's "propaganda broadcasts." As result, N. Korea has admitted it "regrets" S. Korean soldiers' injuries in landmine blasts that fueled the border conflict, as S. Korea has promised to halt its broadcasts into the north. North Korea has also reportedly pledged to end a "semi-state of war," while South Korea will stop its border broadcasts at noon Tuesday if no abnormal situations occur in the near future. Koreas have also reportedly agreed to hold new talks in Seoul or Pyongyang as soon as possible.
However, unlike the March 2010 surprise sinking of the ROKS Cheonan, a South Korean navy corvette, and the November 2010 bombardment of Yeonpyeong Island, the current skirmishes are taking place along the DMZ. Preventing a major escalation is significantly more complicated along this strip, where the presence of two armies in close proximity raises the risk of the escalation.
The situation is further challenged by an aggressive South Korean stance supported by the US. According to Korean military sources the US has been considering to dispatch B-52 or a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and a nuclear-powered submarine currently stationed at Japan's Yokosuka naval base. In turn North Korea has deployed about 20 amphibious landing craft to the Northern Limit Line, the inter-Korean border in the Yellow Sea. Since the beginning of the standoff last week Pyongyang has doubled its artillery power and sent more than 50 North Korean submarines out for
operations. The US has previously dispatched its military assets to the peninsula to support Seoul in its stand-off with Pyongyang two years ago. In April 2013 it had flown B-2 stealth bombers.
Today, a significant role of solving the crisis in the Korean peninsula belongs to China. For it and Russia the escalation will mean arise of a new hot point around the borders. Amid the economical crisis and a destabilization of much key regions of the world, a new military conflict isn't in interests of China and Russia. In this context, we should point out an aggressive policy of the USA and a militarist rhetoric of South Korea. Once again, the US and its allies use any case for attempts to conduct a military conflict in Eurasia.
Meanwhile the Korean conflict is still unresolved, the region periodically goes through high tension that occasionally result in bloody military collisions. Both sides are keen to avoid a full-scale destabilizing conflict, but with millions of troops facing each other across the DMZ, the risk of escalation is ever present. The current standoff could still rapidly dissipate, but it is important to remember that war is a persistent risk under these circumstances.

한미 한국 사드 배치 결정 MNG
We start with a decision that will undoubtedly have massive security implications throughout the region.
South Korea and the United States have confirmed that the U.S. missile defense system known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense or THAAD WILL be deployed to the Korean Peninsula.
The decision follows months of negotiations between the two allies.
THAAD is designed to take down incoming North Korean missiles,... but its deployment is bound to spark controversy,... especially as China and Russia are deeply against it.
For more we connect live to our defense correspondent Kim Hyun-bin who is standing by at the Ministry of National Defense in Seoul.
Hyun-bin,... huge news...
That's right,... Mark.
South Korea's defense ministry announced within the hour that Seoul and Washington have decided to deploy THAAD to South Korea to better counter North Korea's weapons systems.
Let's hear what the defense ministry has to say.
" To protect our citizens and U.S. Forces Korea from North Korea's weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, the two allies have decided to deploy THAAD to the Korean Peninsula."
WMD , .
Ministry officials added that the allies are still searching for a location,... with consideration for area residents and the U.S. forces in South Korea.
The ministry says that the goal is to deploy THAAD to the Korean peninsula before the end of 2017.
A joint working group has been working on that since February.
Now that the decision to bring THAAD here has been finalized,... the group will focus all of its attention on finding a suitable location.
The ministry says that it is in the final stages of making the decision, and will make an announcement within a couple of weeks at the latest.
Experts have suggested either Chilgok in Gyeongsangbuk-do province, as it could cover U.S. bases in Daegu and most of the South Korean peninsula,... or Pyeongtaek in Gyeonggi-do province.
China has reiterated its opposition to the deployment, and urged the U.S. and South Korea to put an end to its plans.In a nod to Beijing and Moscow's concerns about THAAD's powerful radar system,... the ministry stressed that THAAD is purely for defense purposes,... to counter the provocations from North Korea.
That's all I have for now, but I'll have more updates later in the day.

My Daily Life In NORTH KOREA (MYSTERIOUS 7 DAY TRIP)
I've always been very interested in North Korea because it seemed to be one of the most unique and mysterious countries in the whole world. This is my day to day life throughout the 7 days that I spent in North Korea. You can never be sure whether things were staged or not in North Korea because you are only shown what they want you to see. You can't choose where or when you will be going to specific places, they simply tell you to hop on a bus and ask you to get off at one point or another. That is why I didn't want to offer my opinion about whether things were staged or not, whether they were good or not, or honest or not. My goal was to show you what my day to day life looked like when I was there and let you make up your own mind and judge for yourself. Subscribe! YouTube: https://w...

Exploring Korea's Illegal Tattooing Scene
WATCH EPISODE 3: http://bit.ly/21Tv17t In i-D’s latest video series, tattoo artist and activist Grace Neutral explores how younger generations are challenging traditional views around beauty and body image across the world. Through a number of dramatic body modifications, Grace has evolved from self-confessed alternative weirdo to actual pixie dream-girl with purple eyes, pointed elf ears, a forked-tongue, scarification and no belly button. Interested in ideas of alternative beauty and pushing boundaries of positive body image, the 27-year-old navigates us through changing attitudes to how we look. In the first four episodes of Beyond Beauty, we follow the tattoo-covered alien princess to South Korea as she investigates the ways in which Seoul’s youth conform and challenge mainstream beaut...

Check out my Seoul travel guide and tips at this link: http://migrationology.com/2012/05/seoul-travel-guide/ - All my personal Seoul travel tips and suggestions!
Seoul, South Korea, is truly an amazing city to visit! It's modern, easy to navigate and there's little something everyone will enjoy. The Seoul subway system makes it easy to get around town and discover exactly what the giant city has to offer.
Surrounded by Japan and China, Seoul and South Korea sometimes doesn't get all the attention is deserves . Korea is home to a unique culture, cuisine and a fascinating history. If you ever have the chance to visit Seoul, you'll have a great time!
I traveled to Seoul Korea and was able to do all kinds of things, but I've narrowed this list down to twenty five of the best things to do in Seoul - of course there are other things as well but this list is just the beginning and intended to get your ideas and travel imagination flowing!
Anyway, on to the top Seoul attractions, here's the list in case you can't see the video:
1. Gyeongbukgung Palace
2. Bukchon Hanok Village
3. Jogyesa Buddhist Temple
4. Suwon's Hwaseong Fortress
5. War Memorial and Museum
6. N Seoul Tower
7. Myeongdong Shopping
8. Insadong
9. Namdaemun Market
10. Dongdaemun
11. International Itaewon
12. Hongdae (Hongik University)
13. Lotte Mart
14. Lotte World
15. Seoul Children's Park
16. Han River Walking / Riding
17. Walk along the Cheonggyecheon Stream
18. Hike in Seoul
19. Gwangjang Market
20. Noryangjin Fish Market
21. Garak Wholesale Food Market
22. Korean Street Food
23. Ice Cream Selections
24. Coffee at a Coffee Shop
25. Korean Barbecue
I stayed in South Korea for just over 2 weeks and was able to complete this entire list of things to do in Seoul.
However, even though there are so many places to see and go, probably my favorite of all is eating and sampling delicious Korean food! Korean food is so good and there are so many restaurants everywhere you look in Seoul that it can truly be considered a foodie's paradise.
If you get a chance to visit Seoul I hope your'e able to do all these wonderful things while you're there!
Anything else you love about Seoul that's not on this list? Please feel free to leave a comment below and let me know!

South Korea Travel Video Guide: South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea is a country in East Asia. South Korea occupies the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, with North Korea to the north, China across the sea to the west and Japan a short ferry ride to the southeast.
Archeological finds of prehistoric toolmaking on the Korean Peninsula date back to 70,000 BC, and the first pottery is found around 8000 BC. Comb-pattern pottery culture peaked around 3500-2000 BC.
Legend has it that Korea began with the founding of Gojoseon (also called Ancient Chosun) by the legendary Dangun in 2333 BC. Archeological and contemporaneous written records of Gojoseon as a kingdom date back to around 7th-4th century BC. Gojoseon was eventually defeated by the Chinese Han Dynasty and its territories were governed by four Chinese commanderies. The political chaos following the fall of the Han Dynasty in China allowed native tribes to regain control of Korea and led to the emergence of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, namely Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje. Despite repeated attempts by China, namely the Sui Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty, to conquer the Korean Peninsula, northern-based Goguryeo managed to repel them. Eventually, Goguryeo fell to a Silla-Tang alliance, which had earlier defeated Baekje. This unified Korea under the Silla dynasty. Even though Tang later invaded, Silla forces managed to drive them out, thus maintaining Korea's independence.
Unified Silla was replaced by the Goryeo (also called Koryo) dynasty, from which the modern name "Korea" derives. One highlight of the Goryeo dynasty was that in 1234 the world's first metal movable type was invented by a Korean named Choe Yun-ui (200 years before Gutenberg's printing press). Goryeo was replaced by the Joseon (also called Chosun) dynasty, after a coup by one of its generals. The Joseon dynasty ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910, being one of the longest actively ruling dynasties in world history. It was during the early part of the Joseon dynasty that Korean technological inventions such as the world's first water clock, ironclad ship, and other innovations took place. During the rule of King Sejong the Great, the world's first rain gauge was invented and the Korean alphabet known as hangul was created.

South Korea, located on the peninsula between Japan and China, is a nation of contradictions. You’ll find an ancient culture that goes back thousands of years, bolstered by high-tech industries and glowing modern cities. These elements, seemingly at odds, often mix together to create a truly unique experience.
Your Korea tour begins with Seoul, a mega-city full of theatres, casinos, restaurants, and pubs. If you love shopping, you’re in luck: Korea loves nothing better than offering a chance for some good purchases. Entire districts are devoted to stores, vendors, and malls, so make sure your credit card is ready to go.
If you’re engaging in some sightseeing in Korea, you can’t go wrong with a dedicated visit to the many temples and palaces that dot the country. Many of these sacred locations are adorned with ponds, moats, and trees, allowing you to get back in touch with nature while you explore this nation’s vast history.
Stop by the museums and galleries of your choice to get a taste of the local modern culture. You’ll find fine art, eccentric modern pieces, and everything in between—and best of all, you can stop for delicious Korean food on just about any corner.

I've always been very interested in North Korea because it seemed to be one of the most unique and mysterious countries in the whole world. This is my day to day life throughout the 7 days that I spent in North Korea. You can never be sure whether things were staged or not in North Korea because you are only shown what they want you to see. You can't choose where or when you will be going to specific places, they simply tell you to hop on a bus and ask you to get off at one point or another.
That is why I didn't want to offer my opinion about whether things were staged or not, whether they were good or not, or honest or not. My goal was to show you what my day to day life looked like when I was there and let you make up your own mind and judge for yourself.

WATCH EPISODE 3: http://bit.ly/21Tv17t
In i-D’s latest video series, tattoo artist and activist Grace Neutral explores how younger generations are challenging traditional views around beauty and body image across the world. Through a number of dramatic body modifications, Grace has evolved from self-confessed alternative weirdo to actual pixie dream-girl with purple eyes, pointed elf ears, a forked-tongue, scarification and no belly button. Interested in ideas of alternative beauty and pushing boundaries of positive body image, the 27-year-old navigates us through changing attitudes to how we look. In the first four episodes of Beyond Beauty, we follow the tattoo-covered alien princess to South Korea as she investigates the ways in which Seoul’s youth conform and challenge mainstream beauty ideals. Although it’s socially acceptable for teenagers to have cosmetic surgery within its six billion dollar domestic beauty industry, it is illegal to be a tattoo artist. From underground tattoo studios to specialist club nights, Grace meets the young South Koreans embracing alternative ideas of beauty and discovers the impact it has on their lives.

Top 12 Sageuk K Dramas Korean Historical Drama
Top 12 Sageuk K-Dramas ( Korean Historical Drama ) Sageuk, or Korean historical drama, is the meat and potatoes of K-Drama. The rich history of the Korean peninsula provides delicious fodder for fantastical, dramatic, and re-imagined re-tellings of history. Let’s explore some of the best of the sageuk genre. 1.A Tree With Deep Roots One of the transforming moments for the layman in Korean history was the advent of hangeul, the modern day writing system of Korea. Its creation was a struggle between the haves and the have-nots, brilliantly portrayed in this 2011 sageuk hit. The role of youthful King Sejong allowed Song Joong Ki to define himself as a serious actor, brought Han Sun Kyu back to the small screen, and paired up Jang Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung for a dark adventure through palace ...

Top 12 Sageuk K-Dramas ( Korean Historical Drama )
Sageuk, or Korean historical drama, is the meat and potatoes of K-Drama. The rich history of the Korean peninsula provides delicious fodder for fantastical, dramatic, and re-imagined re-tellings of history. Let’s explore some of the best of the sageuk genre.
1.A Tree With Deep Roots
One of the transforming moments for the layman in Korean history was the advent of hangeul, the modern day writing system of Korea. Its creation was a struggle between the haves and the have-nots, brilliantly portrayed in this 2011 sageuk hit. The role of youthful King Sejong allowed Song Joong Ki to define himself as a serious actor, brought Han Sun Kyu back to the small screen, and paired up Jang Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung for a dark adventure through palace politics, revenge, tears, and the weighty happenings of history. This fantastical reimagining of Joseon history based on a novel by Lee Jung Myung aired for twenty-four episodes and tugged heartstrings nation- and world-wide when it aired.
2.Warrior Baek Dong Soo
This late 2011 manhwa-based sageuk caused quite the stir when it aired with its grand fight scenes, poignant characters, and stellar cast. Loosely based on the reign of King Jeonjo, it weaves major historical characters in with the handsome male leads and their epic bromance. The OST for this drama is haunting as Dong Soo and Woon navigate their frenemyship, politics dealings, and rivalry in love. Like many of the sageuk’s on this list did for their stars, this drama made a huge positive impact on the careers of Ji Chang Wook and Yoo Seung Ho.
3.The Moon Embracing the Sun
One of the few sageuk’s based on a fictional king, this novel-based fantasy sageuk has one of the best childhood casts to date. The entire drama could’ve been about the childhood story and have been wonderful. Kim Soo Hyun, Jung Il Woo, and Kim Min Seo playing the adult roles were fabulous and held together the occasionally dubious plot. What makes this drama stand out from the pack is the beauty with which it was filmed and the power of Kim Soo Hyun’s tears.
4.The Great Queen Seon Deok
“The Great Queen Seon Deok” blazed through 2009 with top ratings, phenomenal acting, and a great story that highlights how difficult it was for women in power in the time of the Silla kingdom. It was so difficult, in fact, that Queen Seon Deok spends time as a man in order to win back her crown. The story pits Queen Seon Deok (Lee Yo Won) and Mishil (Go Hyung Jung) against each other as they battle through palace politics and deception in a quest for the crown. Go Hyung Jung is particularly riveting in her portrayal of the cunning Mishil.
5.Jewel in the Palace
“Jewel in the Palace” (also known as”Dae Jang Geum”) was a ratings horse in 2003. Lee Young Ae is brilliant as the cook turned first female royal physician, Dae Jang Geum. It is a fifty-four episode drama that travels her entire life, mixing up fictional day-to-day happenings with true-to-history grander happenings. She dreams of being something more as a servant and working her way up the ladder. We watch her fight the misogynistic system and the extremely complex political intrigue. Lee Young Ae perfectly embodies the upright Jang Geum as she battles those who seek to keep her down

Listen to the full audiobook: http://appgame.space/mabk/30/en/B00GVY8WXQ/book
This classic history of the Korean Warfrom its origins through the armisticeis now available in English for the first time. Wada Haruki, one of the worlds leading scholars of the war, has thoroughly revised his definitive study to incorporate new sources and debates. Drawing on archival and other primary sources in Russia, China, the United States, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, the author moves beyond national histories to provide the first comprehensive understanding of the Korean War as an international conflict from the perspective of all of the major actors. Tracing the North Korean invasion of South Korea in riveting detail, Wada provides new insights into the behavior of Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Harry Truman, Kim Il Sung, and Syngman Rhee. He also provides new insights into the behavior of leaders and diplomats in Korea, China, Russia, and Eastern Europe and their rivals in other nations. He traces the course of the war from its origins in the failed attempts of both North and South Korean leaders to unify their country by force, ultimately escalating into a Sino-american war on the Korean Peninsula. Although sixty years have passed since the armistice, the Korean conflict has never really ended. Tensions remain high on the peninsula as Washington, Beijing, and Pyongyang, as well as Seoul and Pyongyang, face off. With rising international conflicts in East Asia, it is even more timely now to address the origins of the Korean War, the nature of the confrontation, and the ways in which it continues to shape the geopolitical landscape of Northeast Asia and the Western Pacific. With his unmatched ability to draw on sources from every country involved, Wada paints a rich and full portrait of a conflict that continues to generate controversy.

Since the conclusion of World War Ii, the Korean people and the international community have contemplated a unified peninsula, but a divided Korea remains one of the last visible vestiges of the Cold War. What will removing this specter entail? And with what should it be replaced?similar to the unification of East and West Germany, merging North and South Korea is likely the only means of achieving stability and lasting peace on the peninsula. However, after decades of a divided existencewith South Korea now thriving as a democracy and North Korea barely subsisting as a Stalinist dictatorshipthis task will be monumental. What form of government would likely emerge, given the North Korean regimes practice of completely controlling its population? How would its citizens, indoctrinated by decades of Juche ideology, be assimilated into a larger community of capitalists? What would become of North Koreas military of 1.2 million? How would a reunified government exercise control over the Norths starving masses?these questions are only some of the core issues addressed in Korean Unification: Inevitable Challenges. Jacques L. Fuqua Jr. argues that diplomatic, humanitarian, cultural, and military solutions must coincide to create peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula that could thus extend to elsewhere in Asia.

Those of us living in the contemporary times have a common mission to achieve unification in the Korean peninsula for the joint progress of South and North Korea based on the support of the international society and Northeast Asian cooperation. Korean unification is also an historical imperative for the Koreans who have been one nation and one people for a long time. Therefore it is necessary to present to the government strategies and policy alternatives through in-depth research on when and how unification would be achieved, and what kinds of impact it would have, rather than if it will happen. In this respect, this book is a summary of 7 studies conducted under the research Project on the Unified Korea and Northeast Asian Economic Cooperation. Its main contents include analyses on the costs and benefits of the unification of Korea in the perspective of its four neighboring countries?us, China, Japan, and Russia; effects of inter-korean economic integration in Koreas perspective, and analysis of diplomatic/security benefits of unification. The world is now more interconnected than ever, and Korean unification will invariably impact its neighbors. In this regard, the cost-benefit analyses of the four countries are quite meaningful in that 12 overseas Korea specialists analyze the benefits of Korean unification and provide policy suggestions to maximize these benefits from the perspective of their own respective countries. In addition, the three research projects conducted by 11 domestic experts which provide advice on the effects of economic integration along with strategies for Northeast Asian cooperation based on their analysis on inter-korean economic integration and diplomatic/security benefits of unification are also extremely valuable. The research projects conducted by researchers from 4 major countries present four unification scenarios-status-quo, North Koreas reform and opening-up, absorption of the North by South Korea, and peaceful unification. In the case of peaceful unification, which is preferable to all parties involved, the Us, China, Japan, and Russia will all witness an increase of $7.6 to 48.5 billion in their Gdps, and creation of 210,000 to 5,640,000 new jobs, resulting in positive ripple impacts for all 4 countries. According to the analyses, China will be the biggest benefactor of Korean unification, the Us and Japan will reap similar benefits, and Russia will benefit the least

The aim of this project is to research the necessity of international cooperation on Korean unification in legal terms as South Koreas Unification Policy and how issues of the Korean Peninsula have been dealt with in the international framework. Since this is the second year of a five-year project, the conceptual aspect requires clarification in the overall aspect and this requires a multidisciplinary approach. But the main focus remains the legal aspect, international law, in particular.this study assumes that unification will be a gradual process, generally in three stages: (1) inter-korean cooperation, (2) negotiation for inter-korean unification (be it North Koreas collapse, or actual inter-korean negotiation for unification, this stage includes any inter-korean negotiation for unification and international negotiation formula, such as Six Party Talks, etc.), and (3) post-unification integration. The study begins with the understanding that South Korea needs to be prepared for legal matters potentially arising in these processes. The project this year, in particular, deals with the legal issues that should be dealt with in the first and second stages.the scope of the papers in this project covers four main areas. The first is time span. The research for this project covers the 19th century to the present and draws future-oriented implications, but the main focus is on current issues. The second is in regard to approaches. The study deals with three main approaches: historical, political, and legal, but for purposes of this project, the main focus is on the legal aspect. The third concerns the issues addressed. These are the nuclear issue, the military issue, inter-korean cooperation issues, and the human rights issue. Finally, the scope of actors considered includes South and North Korea, neighboring countries (the U.s., China, Japan, and Russia), and international organizations (e.g., Un, Wfp, Who, etc.).the papers included here are organized into three main sections. The first concerns the meaning of Korean unification and the context of international cooperation. Park Jong-chul provides a general overview of the Park Geun-hye administrations North Korea and unification policy, referred to as trustpolitik, and the trust-building process on the Korean Peninsula, as well as the need for international cooperation. Sue Mi Terry examines the U.s. and Chinas perspective on the issues laid out above

Kennedy School of Government, Harvard Universityin Early 2002, in his fateful state of the union address, President Bush described North Korea as being a member of the "axis of Evil." Since then, the U.s. has gone to war with Iraq, and the world now wonders what the future of Bush's preemption policy will bring. Many of the nation's top experts feel that North Korea is a more imminent threat than Saddam's Iraq was. They have a nuclear program, a million-man army, and missiles to deploy and export.in Crisis on the Korean Peninsula, Michael O'hanlon, a Senior Fellow at Brooking and visiting lecturer at Princeton, and Mike Mochizuki, endowed chair in Japan-us Relations at G.w. University, not only examine this issue in detail but also offer a comprehensive blueprint for diffusing the crisis with North Korea. Their solution comes in the form of a "grand bargain" with North Korea. Accords could be negotiated step-by-step, however they need to be guided by a broad and ambitious vision that addresses not only the nuclear issue but also the conventional forces on the hyper-militarized peninsula and the ongoing decline of the North Korean economy.

Nearly 1,000 people treated for breathing problems in Mosul
