🔴 "Enemy State": North Korea Moves to Redefine Relations with Seoul

The moves, which break with decades of policy, could mean Pyongyang's foreign ministry taking over comms with the South, and potentially help justify the use of nuclear weapons against Seoul in a future war. (Reuters)

Since the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a stalemate, both nations have had policies that treat each other differently than other countries.

Schäfer noted the urgent need to act on the problem, saying untrained Ukrainian forces are aggravating the damage by attempting repairs after he recently visited a tank facility in Lithuania.

In in early 2023, Berlin finally agreed to allow the transfer of 88 Leopard 1 and 80 advanced Leopard 2 tanks – money down the drain?
