Democratic
Korea dramatically countered recent south Korean provocations by blowing up the
empty north–south liaison office in the border town of Kaesong this week. This
dramatic piece of street art was clearly intended to send a message to the
Seoul regime that has resorted to old Cold War tricks along the de-militarised
zone that divides the Korean peninsula.
Helium balloons
carrying anti-communist propaganda leaflets have regularly been launched into
the DPR Korea by what the puppet regime calls “defectors”. But everyone knows
that these people, more accurately called “riff-raff” and “human scum” by the
north, are agents of south Korean intelligence, which itself is but an arm of
the CIA.
During the height
of the Cold War the Americans and their local lackeys used balloons to drop
dollars and propaganda across the armistice line drawn up at the end of the
Korean war in 1953. Donald Trump’s summits with Kim Jong Un raised hopes of a
new page in inter-Korean relations. But despite the fine words, the Americans
have done nothing apart from stepping up their blockade of the DPRK.
The south Korean
leaders are now regretting their rash actions. They’re calling for fresh talks
to end the tension. But without a genuine desire for normalisation it is
difficult to see how such talks can begin.
The liaison office
established in 2018 had operated as a de facto south Korean embassy when the
new Seoul regime posed as a supporter of peace and re-unification. It was
closed in January. Now it’s just smoke and rubble.
