North Korea has been firing missiles and scrambling warplanes to indicate its unhappiness with South Korea's and the US joint military drills. The messages have been getting through but far from backing off, South Korea has escalated tensions with similar responses. Neither side can show weakness. It would be an incentive for invasion. North Korea can act with boldness because it has China's backing. South Korea has the US. One should wish that both stand down and the country be reunified, but that is impossible with the Pyongyang regime's iron lock on the North. So, they keep talking through missile firings and fighter missions. It's a dumb way to live, but there isn't a better choice.
