North Korea orders artillery to be combat ready, targeting U.S. bases

AS YOU READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE, THIS NEWLY SIGNED PACT BETWEEN THE TWO ALLIES WILL ALLOW THE U.S. TO IMMEDIATELY RESPOND, JOINTLY, WITH THE SOUTH KOREAN FORCES AGAINST ANY SO CALLED, 'PROVOCATION,' BY THE NORTH.
THIS HAS ALL THE POTENTIAL TO QUICKLY SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA.
WHILE THE SOUTH WILL BE BACKED UP BY THE U.S., THE NORTH WILL QUICKLY BE SUPPORTED BY CHINA AND RUSSIA.

South Korea, US sign military plan against North 'provocations'

  South Korea has signed a new military plan with the US to counter what officials call North Korean "provocations".

The plan provides for a joint response between both countries in the event of a limited attack from the North, officials say.
Help from the US - which has 28,000 troops in South Korea - has until now been optional in minor skirmishes.
Regional tension remains high after the North's third nuclear test last month.
The US already offers South Korea a "nuclear umbrella", but Cold War experts have pointed out that while nuclear deterrence may address the possibility of all-out war, it does not deter low-level incidents.
