This week saw an increase in the threats between the United States and the North Korean governments with both sides threatening military strikes. The peninsula has already witnessed a devastating conflict between 1950-53, that saw North Korea practically levelled by USA bombing. This tension comes at a time of National Liberation Day on August 15 that marks the end of Japanese occupation of the Korean Peninsula. Anti-war activists from both the USA and South Korea are circulating an international petition against the war while a major demonstration is planned in Seoul this Tuesday. As witnessed by the current wars in central and west Asia, military conflicts are a disaster for workers, their families and their communities.
