It is reported that the leader of North Korea has ordered his nuclear weapons made ready. What that truly means is open to question, but its just another level up of the tensions on the peninsula. So far this year he has detonated another nuclear device, launched a long range missile, and immediately after the UN issued new sanctions, fired additional short range missile. And the annual military exercises held between the US military and the South Korean military is about to begin.
I hope he doesn't decide to launch a pre-emptive strike, in that the results would be completely out of his control. But he always declares these war-games are a cover for a planned invasion from the South. And there is some reports that he no longer trusts his own military, hence the number of leading officers that have either been executed, or have disappeared.
Its getting too tense, something is going to happen: unfortunately.
