    Liberal fanfiction, this is idealism in action.

    Side note, for any DPRK-heads, is there actual risk of war with ROK? Seems to me DPRK is hunkering down after giving up on reconcilliation, not that they are escalating, it's my understanding that neither side wants war.

      They're responding to a drone dropping propaganda on them last I heard and they blew up a roadway leading south. So there goes any real talks for now I'd imagine. Still SK are bastards for trying what they did.

        They've also dissolved peace talk committees, to my knowledge, and are severing diplomatic ties. This to me seems more like hunkering down, you'd figure they would keep talks open during wartime as the goal would be to have favorable surrender conditions for the ROK to the DPRK. Just my uninformed guess, that's why I am asking if anyone knows more.
