Korea Smolders

It looks like the recent tensions in Korea have gotten even more tense. Amid negotiations, the North Korean Navy has put 70% of its submarines to sea and doubled the number of artillery units on the border with the DMZ.

This is worrisome to say the least. Its unlikely that it will develop into a shooting war, but as it continues to escalate, then the possibility is still there. And the longer the the stand off goes the higher the chance it will eventually turn into a shooting war.

UPDATE
Reports of Chinese troops moving to the North Korean border. This doesnt make any sense unless China would be throwing in North Korea. But why move reinforcements so far from Seoul? Is it to preserve them from the initial blood shedding and nukes? This bears watching.
