After all, it is unlikely that the United States would tolerate a North Korean infantry division armed to the teeth stationed right across the border in Canada or Mexico. By maintaining a substantial military...
The research also showed that there were in fact two sides to this story, and a more balanced view of the historical events that created the current situation on the Korean peninsula is needed to help understand North Korea's views about the West.
