Not a Peep out of North Korea

Until today.

There was a defection this weekend. A North Korean soldier shot and killed two of his countrymen and then fled across the heavily fortified and mined DMZ–no easy task, but he did it.

There have been a few stories on what Kim Jong-un has been doing but it’s been relatively quiet in the North until this story.

Maybe the North has been caught up in the whole Psy “Gangnam Style” phenomenon. Maybe it was just a matter of time before they needed to remind the world, especially with two major elections coming up in the US and the ROK and the North is still a country to be reasoned with.
