North Korea has attempted a military provocation within weeks of every South Korean presidential inauguration dating to 1992, according to Victor Cha, a former Asia adviser to President George W. Bush, and Ellen Kim at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Washington. South Korea's new president was inaugurated Feb. 25.
"Expect a North Korean provocation in the coming weeks," Cha and Kim wrote Thursday .

USA needs another war to keep their economy going, its really as simple as that. Once they run out of weak countries to invade maybe the wars will end???

Quite an astute observation. The wars fought over the last ten years have been a real boon for the 'ol US economy.

Brinksmanship is such a dangerous game. Eventually, the party making all of their threats will have to follow through with them on some level to continue getting what they want. I hope it's just another case of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."edit on 30-3-2013 by FatherStacks because: (no reason given)

Yep. NK is just waiting for the perfect storm. If and when we see a large scale outbreak of a world war NK will jump at the chance.

Had the wars/invasions not happened over the past 10 years, your economy would have failed long ago. Oil would be being traded in gold, you would be ruined by now...the dollar would be worth even less than it is, there would be far more people unemployed...these are economic wars/invasions, the only terrorist in all this is the USA.

Facts are, Iraq and Libya were invaded to stop the trading of oil in gold, had it went forward...ie the war never happened, your economy would have failed 10 years ago, and much of the fake wealth in your country would be gone.
