North Korea said Thursday that it will scrap an accord aimed at preventing accidental naval clashes with South Korea. This was after South Korea blamed North Korea for a torpedo attack that sank a warship. The tension between these two countries, which are separated between a peninsula, has risen dramatically since last week's attack. Still to this point North Korea has denied its involvement in the sinking and warned any retaliation would result in war. North Korea's military said it will "completely nullify" an inter-Korean accord aimed at preventing accidental armed skirmishes along the disputed western sea border. "Immediate physical strikes will be launched" against any South Korean ships that intrude into North Korean waters, the countries military said. North Korea also said it will look at banning South Korean personnel and vehicles from entering a joint industrial park in the North Korean border. The North Korean military said the first-phase reactions will be to ban the South Korean people in the border town, however they suggest that more changes are to follow. A South Korean defence ministry official said South Korea will "resolutely" deal with the new North's changes and measures. The South Koreans warships staged a large scale anti-submarine drill of the west coast despite North Korea's warnings that such exercises will drive them to war.I really do not understand the reason for the South Koreans anti-submarnie drill. The north Koreans warned them that if they were to do this, war could break out. Personally I would not underestimate North Korea, they are a country that is ruled by a leader who is not afraid of doing the unthinkable. I think that South Korea should try to put the torpedo attack under the table as much as they can, and they should try and forget about it. There is no need to start a war, the war would turn into a world war. When I say world war, I mean that that every country around the world will be affected by this war. This is because of the potential rivalry if China decides to join forces with North Korea. It could potentially be a dispute that could run throughout the world, due to the population of Chinese and South Koreans in North America. In conclusion, I would advise the South Koreans to try and avoid engaging in any activities that could potentially upset the North Koreans.
