North Korea Has U.S. And South Korea Rethinking Defense Policies The bellicose rhetoric from North Korea is having spillover effects in nearby countries. South Korea continues to press for a revision of its nuclear cooperation agreement with the U.S. in order to allow it to produce its own nuclear fuel, a move the United States has steadfastly resisted. Some South Korean politicians even say the North Korean nuclear threat justifies South Korea having its own nuclear weapons capability. Hawks in Japan, meanwhile, are citing the North Korea threat to boost their argument for increased defense spending. |

Korea's Neighbors Rethink Defense Policies As North Korean leader Kim Jong Un threatens nuclear strikes on South Korea, Japan and the U.S., there is a new determination across the region to adopt a tougher line.

Is All The Talk About Cyberwarfare Just Hype? U.S. officials and security experts regularly highlight the cyberthreat, but they also note that the prospects of a major cyberattack are remote. Cyberespionage and "nuisance" cyberattacks may be a problem now, but all-out cyberwar is not. |

North Korea Severs 'Hotline' Communication With The South After Sanctions North Korean authorities cut off their "hotline" communication with South Korea on Monday as part of their announced withdrawal from the armistice agreement that ended the Korean War in 1953.

Analysts say it is among the most dangerous moments on the Korean peninsula in several years. |
