South Korea says it expects North Korea to testlaunch another intercontinental ballistic missile on Saturday. The expected test comes after North Korea carried out its strongestever nuclear test Sunday. The underground nuclear blast was many times more powerful than the bomb the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, which killed 75,000 people. The North’s nuclear test came as U.S. and South Korea wrapped up their massive joint military drills on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea has long objected to the annual drills, which include tens of thousands of troops. Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters clashed with police in South Korea’s Seongju County on Wednesday over the deployment of more THAAD missile launchers. Dozens of protesters were injured at the overnight standoff when police attempted to disassemble protesters’ campsites and forcibly remove road blockades. For more on the escalating tensions and the resistance to militarization, we speak with Wolsan Liem, who has just returned from protesting the THAAD deployment site in Seongju, South Korea. And we speak with Tim Shorrock, an investigative journalist and the author of "Spies for HireThe Secret World of Outsourced Intelligence." His new piece for The Nation is titled "Diplomacy with North Korea Has Worked Before, and Can Work Again."
