Koreans Drumming War

With tension increasing on the Korean peninsula, plans are in progress to evacuate all Filipino workers in South Korea.

Meanwhile, it's reported that North Korea is recalling all 20,000 of its workers from the Far East of Russia.

It appears that the workers in Russia have been called back to aid potential military operations.

Vladnews agency, based in Vladivostok, reported that North Korean workers had left the town of Nakhodka en masse shortly after the escalation of tension on the Korean peninsula earlier this week.

Most North Koreans in Russia work in construction and they are closely monitored by Kim Jong-il's security services. The workers are subjected to long hours and poor conditions and no contact with the outside world.

And to make things even more interesting, a U.S. nuke aircraft carrier is headed to the Yellow Sea.

The nuclear-powered carrier, the USS George Washington, reportedly will stay in the open seas just south of South Jeolla Province for the period during the drill. Also, the South Korean militia and U.S. military personnel plan to limit the exercises to the areas south of Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.

This means they will conduct the exercise in waters outside the range of North Korea’s Samlet, Silkworm, and Styx land-to-sea anti-ship missiles.

Military experts say this is most of the reason why North Korea will have a bad day launching their “retaliatory strikes,” as they called them, at anyone engaged in the exercise.

China has repeatedly protested against a U.S. carrier conducting exercises in the Yellow Sea, calling it provocative.
