Democracy Now!
Thursday, May 27, 2010 Tensions continue to rise on the Korean Peninsula over North Korea’s
alleged sinking of a South Korean warship two months ago. North Korea
has said it will sever all ties with South Korea and repeal a
non-aggression agreement between the two countries. South Korea,
meanwhile, has announced a stop to most trade with North Korea and is
seeking action against Pyongyang at the United Nations Security
Council. The South Korean navy is reported to be conducting a major
anti-submarine drill. [Democracy Now] speaks to University of Chicago historian Bruce
Cumings, author of several books on Korea.
