SOUTH KOREA SAVING FACE


South Korea says it will go ahead with one day of live ammunition military drills early next week. The North Koreans are threatening to blast the South even harder than it did on November 23rd, if the South goes ahead with the drills.

The South responded it has to go through with the drills due to their poor response to the North's assault on the 23rd in order to save face.

The North has numerous problems and has little to lose from future battles. This is where sounds minds must intervene.
