A new balance of terror: Why North Korea clings to its nukes By ERIC TALMADGE Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Early one winter morning, Kim Jong Un stood at a remote observation post overlooking a valley of rice paddies near the Chinese border. The North Korean leader beamed with delight as he watched four extended range Scud missiles roar of their mobile launchers, comparing the sight to a team of acrobats performing in unison.

  • After the Pyongyang Talks No
    ISPSW Strategy Series: Focus on Defense and International Security Issue After the Pyongyang Talks No. 561 Yossef Bodansky July 2018 After the Pyongyang Talks Yossef Bodansky July 2018 Executive Summary * The profound gap between the US and the DPRK - a gap concealed by vague yet optimistic rhetoric in Singapore - burst to the surface in the aftermath of the visit to Pyongyang by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. * While both sides agreed to talk again - both Pyongyang and Washington are cognizant there is actually very little to talk about. Three core-issues are at the crux of the US-DPRK crisis and there is no compromise in sight. * Meanwhile, the US-PRC Trade War has just started. For Beijing, this war is more than an economic issue. The escalating trade war gives Beijing the greatest impetus to harness the region’s other two great economies - Japan and South Korea - away from US influence and into inflicting the maximum damage on the overall strategic-economic posture of the US. The future of the Korean Peninsula will be a key theater.

Adam Smith, Wealth Of Nations International DPRK Ready for Shanghai Expo The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has finished the preparatory work for its first-ever appearance at a World Expo, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, according to DPRK Chamber of Commerce Vice-Chairman Ri Song Un. Ri said the preparatory work started in July 2007, including sending delegations to Shanghai to review the Expo's requirements. The DPRK pavilion would undergo a test-run soon, he added. He said the DPRK would exhibit Pyongyang's history, modern construction, folk- customs, culture, and the people's life in the DPRK in various forms, including sculptures, pictures and videos. More activities are planned for the "DPRK Pavilion Day," September 6. “The 2010 Shanghai World Expo will be the most sweeping World Expo ever held, and it will also be the first time to be held by a developing country, which is a matter of pride and honor for China," Ri said. He said the DPRK people thanked China for its great support for its preparatory work for the Expo, and said he believed the Expo would be a good opportunity for the DPRK to further get to know China and to communicate and cooperate with other countries.

Son’s bid to avoid military service by winning football gold was the talk of the Games, but South Korea left it perilously late before downing Japan 2-1 in extra time at Pakansari Stadium. It uncorked unbridled jubilation from Son, who had set up both South Korean goals and leapt around beaming as he celebrated with his team- mates-including his fellow World Cup star, goal- keeper Jo Hyeon-woo. A late header from Ayase Ueda gave South Korea an almighty fright, but they saw out a nervous last few moments to win a record fifth Asian Games title. Korean captain Son, substituted in the dying seconds to buy precious time, sprinted from the bench to embrace goal- keeper Jo Hyeon-woo, sobbing tears of joy as they rolled on the turf together. The Koreans dominated the final but wasted several decent opportunities before substitute Lee broke the deadlock by smashing a left-foot shot into the roof of the net three minutes into extra time. Son delivered a free kick for Hwang to ram home a towering header eight minutes later, before Ueda’s goal triggered late drama. South Korea could have been three goals up by halftime, with Lee Jin-hyun blazing just over from distance and Son bundled over in the box for what replays sug- BOGOR: South Korea’s players toss their teammate Son Heung-min in the air after the victory ceremony gested was a clear penalty.
