Looks like someone on the South Korean/US side wants war against North Korea
Putting civilians around
obvious military targets, and then doing military exercises in the area that could be interpreted as an attack, thus provoking an attack against the
obvious military targets seems rather deliberate. If you're going to do military exercises, why do it in a threatening location unless you're trying to provoke an attack? This is similar to when India and Pakistan were doing this, ultimately having nuclear tests done near the border. The civilians in the area getting hit look like they were positioned there in order to create martyrs. Now obviously, with these rallies, someone is trying to start a war.
Anyway, I was talking to one of my best friends who is living in SK (has been there for most of the last two and a half years), and he says the situation is not nearly as serious sounding as the Canadian Newspapers are making it sound. So I am not really sure what to think yet. The rallies might be just a small amount of drunk idiots, all military forces have those.
