Why relations between North Korea and South Korea are worsening | DW News

[@workoutkorea]

As a Korean, ZERO probability of war. Just two dogs barking at each other through glass door.

@@Panaputra Different situation. Clear who keep the dogs on the leash here in Korean peninsula.

[@alexkim3794]

​@@Panaputrathe difference is that this has been going on since the war. Also it's more about keeping their ppl in more than attacking. They can't publicly state this is to prevent people from escaping. So they're using it as an excuse.
