Tension in Season for the United States and North Korea | Fair Observer°


Tension in Season for the United States and North Korea
24 MARCH 2013

The annual “Tension Season” in relations between the United States and North Korea is noticeably harsher this year.    
Every year, there seems to be two periods of tension in the relationship between the United States and North Korea. These seasons of tension are nothing new. The historical pattern of bi-annual tensions are a result of confrontation spawning from joint military exercises by the US and its allies on the Korean Peninsula which coincide with two major North Korean public holidays, May Day and the Mass Games. May Day demonstrations celebrate the effort and sacrifices of the working class and are thus often proceeded by a major publicity stunt meant to honor that sacrifice, such as the launching of a satellite, last year, or Kim Jung Un's Basketball Diplomacy effort this year. The Mass Games are North Korea’s largest choreographed displays of culture meant for public pride, 0including a hundred thousand person strong feat of dance meant to stir the North Korean nationalist spirit and promote the juche ideology.
