North Korea has released warnings against the South Korea over the weekend. The North Korean military announced this news by using extreme words: "turning Seoul into a sea fire." They have threatened South Korea with their nuclear missile powers. Shockingly, North has consistently announced the defensive movement as a preparation for another war on the Korean Peninsula, and it has repeated again.
Once in 1960, and a second threat in 2004, which this year, 2011, counts as their third time. North Korea has announced that they will blow up imjingank, a river near seoul. South should keep its armed forces on full alert against renewed military threats from the North, while being ready to calm down Pyongyang with a peaceful approach. This threats have been scaring the South Korea citiziens due to North Korea's powerful nuclear weapon that has been fully armed over many years. I believe that both South and North soon needs to have meeting over severe threats in order to calm down peoples' worries, which definetely can lead both countries in war.

North Korea and South Korea's relation
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110225000765
South and North Korea do not want to achieve unification by keeping up efforts to continue inter-Korean dialogue. North Korea has definitely attacked South's property, but they denied their attack from 2010 and earlier this year. South Korean prim minister, Kim Hwang-sik states “The (South Korean) government does not regard North Korea as a target of absorption." He also announced that they will put effort in persuading North Korea to change. South Korea has helped North Korea supplying foods and doing favors for their nuclear weapon until North has killed many sailors and two civilians. Because of failing the defensive military talks between two korea, the government has said that talks should only be held when an actual progress in North can be expected. North Korea attacked South Korea twice, which seriously injured the relationship between North and South Korea: however, N. Korea denies this and did not apologize to South Korea.
I believe it should not be South Korea that needs more effort to alter the relationship better, but North Korea does.North Korea should have thought about how much their fellow country has helped them and must try maintaing a good relationship eachother.

This article(Yonhap News) shows how much North Korean soldiers are suffering from food shortage and sexually harassment, while Kim Jong-il spends about $10 million a year for his health. This proves how much corrupted North Korea's government is and how they do not even care about their citizens including soldiers.

North Korean special unit adds light infantry troops
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110222000891
North Korea has boasted the number of special forces soldiers according to the South Korea's defense whitepaper. There special troops have increased over 5 years since 2006, which shows how much North Korea has been preparing for another war that is now still going on. South Korea and North Korea are still in a war and they are in a rest without signing any peace treaty. The North’s special warfare forces consist of some 140,000 light infantry troops and 60,000 special operation troops, this shows how much they are focused in developing their light infantry troops. According to North Korea's military sources, they are prepared in attacking frontline and non-frontline areas to destroy priority targets, assassinate key targets and cause confusion in South Korea for future war. Shocking, Light infantry soldiers march 20 kilometers for 10 hours, wearing a 35-kilogram military bag. Also, During their mountain-climbing sessions, they hone attacking, ambushing and camping.
North Korea has been putting more than half of their money on developing their military forces against South Korea and their alliance. I believe there will be a massive disaster occur anytime between two of those countries, and will include United States, Russia, China and other countries, that will bring a global war.

U.S. maritime alliance with S. Korea
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110221001022
U.S Navy deployed has announced that the maritime alliance with South Korea has become intense.
Van Buskirk commands the U.S Navy that is based in Yokosuka, Japan, to position near South Korea and Japan in order to defend the deadly attacks from North Korea. In 2010, North Korea has sunk the naval ship of South Korea; however, North Korea denies the accusation of attacking South Korean property. South Korean and U.S. troops are set to begin a new set of military drills later this February to improve their ability to deter North Korean aggression, because the two Koreas are still technically at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce, rather than signing a peace treaty.

U.S. official reported that North Korea has completed launching their second missile in their country. Acorrding to the satellite image, North Korea released showing a tower, a movable launch pad and swing arms, according to an analysis by Globalsecurity.org. However, they are curious to know if Tong-Chang-dong, a place where there is a movement of launching a missile, has a powerful electricity to support launching a missile. In order to prevent this matter, U.S will call on North Korea to fulfill their international problems.

Kim Jong Il's birthday present
http://www.edaily.co.kr/news/NewsRead.edy?SCD=DA37&newsid=02505926596151176&DCD=A01506&OutLnkChk=Y
Acorrding to North Korea, they spent about 10million dollar for their leader's birthday present. Shocking, North Koreans are starving due to their shortage of food; however, under Kim Jong Il's order, his workers went to china and spent a lot of money for buying his present. There are shark tales and other expensive food that are included in the gift. Also, cars are shipped to North Korea and other highly cost electric devices that are prepared for Kim Jong Il's 70th birthday. In my opinion, this shows how North Korean's government is careless about their citizens and their country, but only their great leader. Half of the North Korean people are suffering with having their daily meal, but their leader, Kim Jong Il and his people, are putting 10million dollar for one's birthday present. I believe this country is heading toward a serious down fall.

Tank hidden under Pyongyang, North Korea
http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2011/02/16/2011021600079.html
picture from chosun.com
North Korean defense military has hidden a tank under a city, Pyongyang. On 15th, a North Korean defector informs South Korea that about 50 tanks are placed in different location near Kim-Jong-Il's shelter.
These tanks only move during the night time once a year in order to conrtol any riot or protest immidiately.
I believe that this kind of movement that is occuring in North Korea shows how corrupted their government is and that people in North Korea are also scared of their country, which will might lead to an inner corruption in North Korea. I hope North Korea and South Korea will no longer have to investigate eachother in far future.

Korea talks collapse (military talk)
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2011/02/09/hancocks.koreas.talks.cnn?iref=allsearch
North Korea and South Korea had military talks for two days and the second day which is this wednesday, according to tbe South Korean defense ministery, the talks have failed. North Korea ended up walking out of the talks, due to their disagreement in the agenda, which South Korea wanted to discuss about the Yeonpyeong island shelling which killed 4 people and the sinking of the chun-an worship, but on the other hand, North Korea wanted to talk about military actions.South Korea blames the attack; however, once again North Korea denies to that attack. I believe eventhough there was a success in having a military talks, North Korea would have easily break any negotiation they make with South Korea, just like North Korea has attacked South Korea a few times.

South Korea Questions Boat Passengers From North
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/08/world/asia/08korea.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=north%20korea&st=cse
The wooden boat with 20 women and 11 men came across the Northern Limit Line in the Yellow Sea at 11 a.m. Saturday, military officials said in South Korea. 31 North Koreans who were riding fishing boats got captured by the South Korean Navy in order to investigate their main purpose of crossing a border line.
North Koreans said that there reason is not to stay in South Korea; however, South Korean defense official holds the North Koreans to define a real purpose of this. In my opinion, it is a right behavior for South Korea to investigate further since North Korea has attacked South Korea a few times, so South Korea should keep their Navy in alart.

Questioned Kim-Jung-il's son.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/08/world/asia/08kim.html?_r=1&scp=10&sq=north%20korea&st=cse
Professors in Seoul starts to question Kim-Jung-un, one of Kim-Jung-il's son, if he is suitable for succeeding to be a next leader of North Korea. Recently, one of the 20 generals in North Korea, Kim Jung un, made a four star general in september without having any field experience in the military, and also, the leader of North Korea gave his son two powerful posts in ruling workers' party. Due to Kim-Jung-il's health problem, many experts think that Kim-Jung-un appeared without any preparation for joining as a general of North Korea. I also believe that Kim-Jung-un's place must be questioned and that North Korea needs to give a proper preparation for a next vital leader.
