North korea is threatening to cut off communication with south Korea State News Agency says closing a hotline would be the 1st step toward shutting down all contact the latest in a series of threats in recent days young young want soul to stop defective sending propaganda leaflets over the border but south koreas unification ministries urging the north to keep the lines of communication open for about kelly is a professor at Tucson National university he explained why this creates an awkward position for soul. This is tricky for the south korean government because south koreas a democratic republic right south korea has sort of a right wing thats very anti communist as might imagine right particularly older koreans right the 2 koreas are sort of engaged in this kind of existential agenda mysie sort of contest you have sort of a hard right in south korea thats very into communist thats also very even jellicoe in christian and for these people north koreas a real opponent its sort of like you know this atheist leninist aggressor and things like that and you know regardless of which think about those opinions thats probably 20 percent of south korean opinion visa v. North korea and these people routinely use the proximity of north korea to release balloons and other things. Into the sky filled with a flash keys and imagery from south korea and magazines and things like this and pamphlets saying that north korea really is this horribly governed place in conjunction with sort of this pampered desk but Everything Else the North Koreans have complained about this behavior for decades and the current south korean government really wants a rapprochement detente with north korea and so they have sort of moved against these groups but that raises all kinds of freedom of speech issues here in the south its very tricky south korean left doesnt really want this kind of confrontation in the blue launches and stuff like that right and these things sort of come in waves and the south korean and the north korean government often uses the south korean less interest in negotiations with north korea as a lever to get south to the south korean government to move against domestic opponents that is to say that north or from the south korean government to get the North Koreans to sit down at the table the North Koreans say we have to move against these groups and stop them from rasmussen Everything Else right and so this point like i said this puts the south korean left in an awkward position because if it doesnt move against these groups the North Koreans shut down detente if it does then the south korean government winds up in court and you have big fights about freedom of speech and freedom of assembly and stuff like that and so theres just no really Good Alternative here right the government is really sort of trapped and the North Koreans used this to sort of push concessions on south korean government.
