Korean takeaway

Anyone else bothered by today's little spat between North Korea and their southern cousins? I'm not - it's a nasty flare-up, but it won't lead to serious conflict.

What I actually like is North Korea's gloriously dated approach to public relations. No leaking from them. No subtle, nuanced hints. Just a poetic threat of apocalypse from a man with an ironic title:

"If the South continues its dangerous behaviour, Seoul will be the next target. It will be a sea of fire," said Kim Myong-chol, executive director of the Centre for Korean-American Peace.

Such uncompromising style. Got to admire their refusal to engage with running-dog Western capitalist diplomatic discourse. They're ronery, so ronery…
