 The annual drills between South Korea and the US have begun. South Korea and the US describe these annual drills as defensive in nature, but the North Korean government has described it as "exercise of war". last year this exercise led to a tension between and two Korean Nations, with the North Korean government threatening to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strikes and attack South Korean and US targets. The Pyongyang government have been opposing these drills and even threatens to cancel the reunion for citizens for the two nations. The North Korean government is famous for them to use family reunions as a bargaining tool against the US and the South.
 
  Well actually i support and don't support both sides as its actually quite provoking for two countries to be doing military drills right next to your country, but i think that a country should not use inhuman ways to achieve their goals in this case using the reunions of families members of the two countries as bargain, i think that its absolutely unacceptable. If i was the North Korean government i would be pissed too. If i can organize these drills i wouldn't organize them in a way that's going to make the other nations uncomfortable. All in all i am both pro and con in this matter.
