There's the assumption being made by the national security advisers to the Obama administration that the North Korean leadership is not suicidal, that they know they will be obliterated if they attacked the United States.

That day was also the first time a case of COVID-19 was diagnosed in South Korea, which promptly began an orderly regime of testing that limited the immediate impact of the virus.

Two are rescue dogs from a meat restaurant in South Korea.

This is good news indeed, since North Koreans are now gradually getting used to the idea that their houses are highly valuable. This might help them when/if the two Koreas unify. North Korean cities are liable to be flooded with swarms of rich South Korean real estate dealers looking to take advantage of North Korean naivety in real estate matters. Hopefully, if the North Koreans learn a thing or two about the real estate trade beforehand, they will be less vulnerable to such machinations.
~ Andrei Lankov
