SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea has redeployed troops and equipment at the front-line guard posts within the Demilitarized Zone after withdrawing from a military agreement with South Korea last week.

The North Korean military has been spotted re-installing surveillance posts, according to surveillance footage provided by the South Korean military Monday. Photos taken by the South Korean Defense Ministry show temporary structures made of wood in eleven locations where they had blown up along the border in accordance with the inter-Korean military agreement signed on September 19, 2018.

"South Korean military is closely monitoring North Korean military's movements at the frontline area and maintaining readiness posture accordingly," South Korea's Defense Ministry spokesperson Jeon Ha-kyu said during a press briefing Monday.

South Korean Joint Chief of Staff Kim Myung-soo pointed out to reporters that it was the North Koreans who withdrew from the implementation of the "9-19 North-South military agreement" and "because it is North Korea that broke the trust, we will take corresponding measures."

6. Add Taiwan - China

South China Sea Philippines - China

Guyana - Venezuela

Falklands - Argentina

USA - various in Middle East

Iceland - Volcanos

Opportunists test the USA and Allies. Maybe not Putin under every rock exactly.

Tis the season.

7. Iceland - Volcano???

not sure what you are trying to say.

If you don't think that Putin isn't behind the list of "wars" and potential wars I listed... you aren't paying attention.

Putin owns Trump, Trump owns the Repukes... which is why there is no more Ukraine money ( at least not yet ).

8. Iceland - Volcano is a poor attempt at fatalist humor.

Think the World is rife with opportunists that perceive windows to achieve their ends and poke the USA with a stick.

No doubt Putin is pleased but at this point China and some other major players are leery of Russia. Don't think Putin is the direcct cause of the wars (except Ukraine) but is pleased because support for Ukraine is more difficult and drain on USA in general from all the hot spots. Globally, China is more a competitor than Russia. See an article today at DU where USA is sending more arms to Taiwan.

The GOP mess in Congress and not getting funding or military appointments in place is worrisome. USA is weak because of no social cohesion. Impression is that we are way wrong in not addressing Trump much earlier. Trump should have been in rear view mirror not in the 2024 POTUS election. But told that is not possible and I am no expert.

Not trying to be edgy, just exhausted.

2. Rattle your little saber, Kim.

You paranoid cockwomble.

5. You used a shitgibbon.

Ah, English linguistic creativity.

(linguistics) A type of compound word used as an insult, consisting of a single-syllable expletive, followed by an absurd or innocuous two-syllable noun that usually forms a trochee.

3. North Korea hasn't been in the news enough lately. Kim needs to be THE center of attention.

Hey, everybody, look over here! Missiles! Troop redeployments! Some guy with a bad haircut lying on his back in the middle of the floor waving his arms and legs around!

4. It's kinda late for him but he usually starts the saber-rattling in September.

I think the whole Russia visit started this latest ball rolling. It's interesting that China tacitly allowed it because North Korea was China's baby (at least under the table).
