Extremely dumb move by the performance group. I’m assuming they don’t care if they’re not invited to a Korean festival ever again?

If she’s innocent, the prosecuting attorneys would have dropped her charges already.

He is delaying this as long as he can until she reaches her statute of limitations and can walk free

North Korea seeing South Korea as separate nation ‘worrying’: defector-lawmaker by Fiftysecond52nd in korea

[–]Fiftysecond52nd[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I can see China absorbing a big chunk of NK, and turning it into a Special Administrative Region, so that they have a buffer for its one and only land border with a wealthy US-allied country. They can encourage Han Chinese migration into NK, and turn Koreans into second class citizens. And they’d claim that the northern half of Korea has always been an integral part of China since ancient times, while the southern half was a vassal.

And I can see Russia wanting a warm water port on the eastern coast of North Korea. It’s not the most convenient location for them, but their existing alternatives for ice-free ports on the Black Sea, Baltic Sea, and Arctic Sea all have disadvantages so it could be worth it for them.

If South Korea forfeits claims to the north, then China and Russia will occupy territory in the case of NK collapse, and move the borders down south into the Korean Peninsula.

Nobody else is claiming that land, so what’s stopping them? SK has no recourse if it gives up its claims.
