Tension rises between the Koreas

Another day another threat of war from North Korea.

According to the Guardian, Pyongyang is threatening to rip up the 1953 ceasefire with its Southern neighbor of similar name.

North Korea is blaming the US in a not-so-shocking turn of events.

The States has led a push for more sanctions following North Korea’s February 12 nuclear test.

North Korea said the tests were in response to American hostility on the peninsula dating back to the war between 1950 and 1953.

The war ended with an armistice.

No peace treaty was signed.

Technically the two Koreas are still at war.

Whether that becomes a reality remains to be seen.
