South Korea and United States to Begin Joint Military Exercises - North Korea Threatens the United States

Tensions appear to be rising in Korea. Why? Apparently the North Korean's despise the idea the the United States will now take part in a joint military exercise that would begin on Monday and last for 11 days. In response, North Korea vows 'merciless counter-blow' to U.S., and South Korea. The military counteraction group called the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea, claims that a military response to the exercises is a strong threat to the United States and South Korea. Tensions have escalated between North Korea against the United States and South Korea ever since May, when the South Korean's blamed the North in sinking a South Korean warship in March. North Korea's statement on Sunday took direct aim at President Barack Obama as the spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People's Army said, "The Obama Administration would be well advised to cool its head heated with the moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK".

I highly doubt that anything the North Korean's say would stop the exercises, scheduled to be started tomorrow. North Korea may cause trouble within their own region, but the United States would protect the South Korean Country in an event that North Korea would attack across its southern border into South Korea.

If North Korea is trying to play scare tactics, they must know that they truly failed, but instead is showing the world how dangerous a country they could be to the rest of the world.
