    So let me get this straight…the NKs blew up roads and rail lines on their own territory that could be used by their forces to move south in the event of a war?

    That’s some brilliant stategerizing there, you betcha.

      It’s almost as if NK doesn’t want war. Weird how they took a defensive posture in response to invasion of their territory by a country backed by the most war hungry country in the history of humanity.

                I’m not sure why what it was in response to matters. If a drone over another country’s land is an invasion, so are a bunch of balloons full of trash.

                What’s the difference?

            To be clear, the accusation from the North is that the drones were there to drop propaganda, not bombs. The South denies it, but let’s assume it’s true for a moment. Why is that a bigger provocation than the balloons full of actual human shit that the North has been floating over the border?

              I remember the entire United States freaking out when a weather balloon from China went off course.

              I think they shot down three more weather balloons, including some kids’ school project.

              And that wasn’t even a drone that was powered and could be steered.

    Now I want to hear from the Russian agency telling South Korea to calm their rhetoric after they announced they saw North Korea preparing for it. So someone can tell them to shut the fuck up next time.
