Yea. The collective attention span in this country is sad.

Maybe someone with some more expertise can chime in. It’s widely accepted that the DMZ/38th parallel is the most heavily militarized area in the world. The North already has forward deployed in fixed/hardened sites massive amounts of artillery, the longer guns which can reach out and touch downtown Seoul.

If the DPRK is mobilizing even more artillery to the DMZ (in addition to the reported buildup along the Yellow Sea coast) I bet the lights are staying on late tonight in the Pentagon and USKF HQ.

I’m I off, or is this I fairly concerning escalation to be beefing up along the DMZ.

” is this I fairly concerning escalation to be beefing up along the DMZ. “

It is worrisome — even if NK’s reason for this buildup is mere ‘intimidation’, when you have that many forces, at such a high state of alert, (both sides) the chances of a relatively minor incident brewing up into full-blown ‘accidental war’ increase exponentially.....
