North Korea Backs Down

Geopolitics: South Korea has just finished its artillery drill. The drill was massive and the shells were not directed away from North Korean positions in any way. Right before the drill the South Korean Navy destroyed a Chinese fishing boat while engaging a Chinese fishing flotilla that was in its waters illegally. This comes on top of a complete leadership change and a new overall posture for the South Korean military. In other words, South Korea has been acting super aggressive and targeting China directly, striking at the puppet master not the puppet.
After the artillery drill North Korea issued a statement saying that the South's military exercise was a childish display of fire and that the North won't dignify the South's infantile temper tantrum with a response. It is beneath the North's dignity to do so. And then the North asked for disarmament talks to start up again.
As we have seen so many times over the past two years Team Obama and its allies are completely on top of foreign affairs and there is now talk of Obama being awarded a Golden Bull award.
