N Korea Ready For a ’Sacred'War

The South Korean Republic has recently held the largest and most impressive military exercise for this year as a sign of its military power and as a part of the preparations for any eventual military conflict with the North. Rulers of the South have claimed that to be a military pride exercise that is to highlight the capabilities of the South Korean Republic and to strengthen the confidence of public in the military abilities of its country.
However, the North has condemned the exercise and has announced its position against it holding that that is a clear sign of provocation aimed to increase the tension rather than display any military power. The North has said they are not going to respond the provocation since it was not worth it and that they will stand still in order to prove they are above such simple provocations. However, their leader has announced his people and troops are ready for sacred war to prove their dominance and defend their views over the conflict zones of the Korean peninsula.
On the other hand, the South Korean president attended the military exercise of the South Korean troops and said that the South would no longer tolerate any acts of violence from the North and would respond properly and reasonably to any shelling if such occurs from its Northern opponent. However, the public in the South seems to be way more negative in relation to a future war. Thousands of people have condemned the military actions between the two countries and have expressly disagreed with the increasing tension and the potential threats of conflicts. South Korea is enjoying the support of the US acting like a self storage of its troops and still any future conflict would have devastating consequences for the peninsula.

David Cameron claims the protestors were responsible for violence in the student protests – in reality it is all Nick Clegg’s fault

David Cameron’s assertion that violent protestors were responsible for the attack on Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as numerous other incidents in Parliament Square and a number of other locations in central London, is evidently correct in legal terms.

However, it is his government’s decision to hike tuition fees by an unprecedented level that is the root cause of all of the violence and unrest that London has had to contend with in the recent student protests. Precisely, it is the Liberal Democrats with their cowardly gesture towards maintaining peace within the coalition ahead of party loyalty that has most aggravated both current and future students, as well as many other people opposed to the tuition fee rise.

The leader of the Liberal Democrats (or should I say Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party?), Nick Clegg, has made an astonishing u-turn that has stunned even those who remember Thatcher’s infamous 1990 Poll Tax initiative, or the French student and workers protests of 1968. A politician promising to wipe out tuition fees, but later advocating the trebling of them – is like someone offering to give you a £50 voucher for your groceries, but instead asking you to pay treble the price for your receipt.

The coalition claims that the new policy will provide a better deal for students and graduates. Sure, perhaps if you are the owner of a successful email marketing company or a London-based corporation, a few thousand pounds here and there is just a drop in the bucket. However, few people want to end up in tens of thousands worth in debt at a time when they are starting to raise a mortgage deposit and maybe even a pension fund. Likewise, some students and parents of students want to pay the fees upfront so that they don’t have to be burdened with high interest rates on their debts in the future. Unfortunately, following the passing of the vote on December 9, it appears there is little the country can do to prevent the policy from becoming enshrined into English law.

The EU Sigh Towards the East

The EU has always been working in closer cooperation with the most developed states in the world as the organisation itself is getting more and more powerful. The foot prints of that powerful economic developments are easily observed – the rise of the value of the Euro as a currency, the cooperation of the member states in criminal and state security matters, the integration of cultures and capital sharing with no boundaries. This all enhance the powers of the community and offers large range of prospectives especially with the markets that are potentially valuable for the Union.
A recent trend is the closer cooperation between the EU and Russia and its dependants. The EU is almost completely dependant on Russia in terms of natural gas. The green fuel is the main object of discussions and trade treaties between the federation and the member states of the European Union. Furthermore, additional points of cooperation would be concluded quite soon as Russia accepted to work in closer contact with NATO and thus indirectly concludes some essential matters with the EU which member states are almost all participants in the NATO organisation. The trade with metals, coal and other resources is also quite important for both sides as Russia needs the European market and on the other hand, the EU is quite satisfied with the reasonable prices and the quality of Russian export.
Apart from that, the Union is expanding its views on cooperation with Russia-dependants indirectly. Thus member states often act as ambassadors of the community and an example is France that offered quite a large field of cooperation with Kazakhstan – the Russia-dependent republic would be pleased to work with the French as they offered an expanded discussion on the entrance of Kazakhstan in the World Trade Organisation and are also ready to invest in its space programmes which are jointly conducted with the russians.

A Rising China

During the last decade, the world witnessed the awakening of the so called Chinese force – once a powerful empire, China came on the top of the world once again …economically. But what we observe nowadays is a China that is not only advancing economically but that is making a significant effort to develop its military techniques, technologies and powers by taking advantage of its strong economical position in the world right now.
This is a particularly interesting observation since China is being at times quite aggressive and shows the attitude and the confidence of a world power. An example would be the issue between North and South Korea in May when the North attacked a warship of the South and the military personnel was killed in the attack. China, in the case, did not take a position showing that the Chinese indirectly support the North Korean Republic and that as a piece of economical jewellery in the global development, the Chinese can impose standards of their own when coming to judging violence and peace.
On the other hand, China is active – the government has announced itself as against the distribution and armament with nuclear weapons and ,however, still is believed to be developing some new technologies in the area. The Chinese seem to have no interest in the global matters like the environmental preservation policies to reduce the carbon emissions in the air and definitely decline to participate actively in such initiatives. The Chinese overreached the amount of emissions they were allowed under the international agreements governing the issue and yet they seem to have no opinion on the matter that would be a valuable one – still they use the coal power plans that are among the most dangerous environmentally.
