North Korea isn’t building a military line. It’s building a new Berlin Wall

The Military Demarcation Line, established by the 1953 Armistice Agreement, was originally intended as a temporary boundary to separate warring armies.

Seeing North Korea’s recent efforts to reinforce this boundary with barbed wire, barriers, and various defensive structures, one is compelled to ask: Can we truly still call this a “Military” Demarcation Line?

Even the people who decided who got the best views kept the second-best for themselves. Power allocates the good stuff. It’s not theory. People do what they do because they want what they want.
