Diplomatic Tensions and Provocations

This chapter explores the diplomatic repercussions following Russia's actions during the Skripal incident, which led to the expulsion of Russian diplomats by the UK and Europe. It then shifts focus to North Korea's escalating tensions with South Korea, marked by the symbolic destruction of transport links and aggressive rhetoric from North Korean leaders. The discussion highlights the complexities of communication and propaganda in the region, as well as the broader implications of military developments and the decline of cultural spaces in the UK.
