The US deployed a nuclear-armed submarine to Busan, South Korea on Tuesday, as the two countries met to discuss preparing for nuclear war and the expansion of even more military exercises.
During the same week, a US soldier named Travis King, crossed the border into the DPRK, yet the US corporate-owned media are avoiding the use of the term ‘defect’.
Ju-Hyun Park, a member of Nodutdol and the Engagement Editor at The Real News discusses how the US is rapidly escalating tensions in the Korean peninsula and how King’s defection reveals the faults and fractions within the US military itself.
