The two Koreas reached an agreement after the military tension in recent days

It relieves tension between the two Koreas, which have reached an agreement that seems to be able to cool a highly dangerous situation, which began in the first days of August, due to the injury of two South Korean soldiers, to the explosion of a device, which according to Seoul had been placed by Pyongyang. The response of South Korea had been to provide the psychological warfare through propaganda carried out with the speakers placed along the boundary line. This fact, always a source of great irritation for Pyongyang, had provoked a military response, culminating with artillery shells fired from the North to the South, to which Seoul had responded. The risk of a military escalation of the confrontation became more concrete when the forces of North Korea had mobilized twice as many troops usually employed along the border and had put in action 50 nuclear submarines. Such a conflict would involve external actors, first and foremost the United States, traditional allies of Seoul, with which South Korea holds military exercises regularly, and would jeopardize the balance in the region, including through a possible stop in traffic maritime. Pyongyang, this time, has not threatened the use of atomic weapons, but the danger is ever present when North Korea comes on alert. The situation has been anxiously followed by the whole world and especially also from China, which, at this stage of its troubled finances, would not like the start of a military confrontation that would involve a neighboring country and with which the 'only nation to maintain a formal relationship, often referred alliance, even if the conduct of relations between the two states does not seem to be characterized by classical parameters of privileged relationship in diplomatic sense. North Korea arrived he declared, in the most hectic phases of the crisis, the state of war seeds, using a neologism to define the situation to mobilize the country, very close to the condition of total war effort. This declaration of Pyongyang, according to many analysts was tantamount to a step immediately prior to the formal declaration of war, even if for other observers, was, however, a threat to scare Seoul. This second hypothesis, on the other hand, falls within the usual course of action of Kim Jong-Un, although any underestimation of a dictator who possesses the atomic bomb remains, however, not recommended. The conflict, however, it would not be convenient for either party, and after about forty-three hours of meetings, were able to arrive at a definition of the situation peaceful. One of the major achievements, is the desire to hold regular meetings to improve bilateral relations and to further negotiations of cooperation in various fields, including economic and seek a solution to reunite divided families in the two states. To get to this solution North Korea apologized and expressed regret for the wounding of the two South Korean soldiers, while Seoul has broken psychological warfare. The crisis, in short, seems to move towards a positive solution, developing new possibilities for dialogue, which, however, should not delude ourselves too much about a possible change of direction of the dictatorship in Pyongyang.
