Kim Jong Un latest in the line of North Korean despots has decided to prove he is the craziest of them all. Citing joint U.S - South Korean millitary posturing and proposed new sanctions accepted by China, one of North Korea's few allies, Pyongyang is threatening an end to the Korean ceasefire.
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) North Korea's news agency stated in a report that North Korea intends to end the ceasefire of Tuesday March 11th, presumably unless the sanctions are eased. It is also reported that phone links to South Korea at the border villiage of Panmunjom will also be cut, making negotiations more difficult.
The ceasefire has brought relative peace to the Korean peninsular since 1953 effectively ending the Korean war.
