North Korea threatens to attack if ships searched

In the aftermath of North Korea’s underground nuclear test and its series of missile launches earlier this week, South Korea said on Tuesday it is prepared to join with the United States and search North Korean ships suspected of carrying weapons of mass destruction.

On Wednesday, North Korea responded with new threats and a display of military power.

Abraham Denmark, an expert on East Asia and a fellow at the Center for a New American Security, joins Martin Savidge to discuss how North Korea and South Korea match up militarily and China’s role.

The driving force of North Korea can only be Fear which is the mother of all other derivitive thoughts and actions of hostility.

If North Korea is thinking with its Isolated Mentality, which it is–it will continue to do what it has always done which is what is being done now.

Perhaps, a way to prevent Escalation of the Perennial Hostility would be to lessen the Perennial Fear.

The Scales weighing these things one against the other are ever seemingly out of Balance.

Has Human Intellect ever been able to fully prevent the Miasma produced by the kind of Emotions which are derived from warzones and graveyards of Fear?
