Kim Jong-un and South Korea , Moon Jae-in Better Days

North Korea plans for a "military Action " against South Korea has Suspended , according to state media.

the Last few weeks, there was a rising tide of angry rhetoric from The North is planning on activist, send leaflets with anti-North Korean messages across The Border .

last week, The North , the joint liaison office blew, and also to threaten troops in The Border region.

But at a meeting, chaired by leader Kim Jong-un, state media said the decision to suspend and military actions.

The Central military Commission, he pull your decision after taking what is considered to be the "given circumstances" into consideration.

The North also began to disassemble the speaker, it had built only last week, which are traditionally used to blast anti-South Korean messages across The Border , Yonhap reported.

It provides a remarkable de-escalation in the rhetoric, according to Mr. Kim's sister, Kim Yo-jong, the orders to the army, "determined to perform The Next Action ". in part, because of what is said Pyongyang was Seoul's failure to stop activists from floating balloons containing anti-regime leaflets across The Border .

The Meeting also discussed the documents outlines measures to "further strengthen The War deterrent of the country," the state news Agency KCNA reported.

Good Cop , Bad Cop

It looked like the had written The Script . The North Korean policy of brinkmanship was back.

the blowing up of the liaison office was only The First stage, we learned of Pyongyang. The North Korean leader's Sister Kim Yo-Jong had instructed the army to come up with a plan.

But for those who looked carefully, it was always an out-clause.

When The North Korean army announced that it was drawing its military plans, The Statement mentioned that the approval of the Central military Commission.

In other words, Kim Jong-un would have the last word.

So why has he decided to pull back?

Some analysts have raised the possibility that Mr Kim may be playing to Good Cop to his sister's Bad Cop from the future. Remember, plans for military Action were Suspended , not cancelled, so that they remain a possibility.

The ratcheting up of tensions, Kim Yo-jong has given a strong platform to show their leadership credentials, but we know who is ultimately responsible.

Kim Jong-un is now in a position to play The Role of magnanimous leader, ready to defuse The Situation . It may play well in domestic.

I can only say at this stage is that there is never a dull moment on the Korean Peninsula and for now at least, the President, a moon of administration in Seoul breathing a sigh of relief.

Why has there been a recent escalation of tensions?

the tensions between North and South Korea appeared to be on The Mend , when in the year 2018, the leaders of the two countries met for the First Time at The Border .

The historical summit saw to free both sides of promise the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons - and in the months that followed, there have been efforts to improve relations and Dialogue .

But The Relationship was on a downward spiral after a failed summit between Mr Kim and US President, Donald Trump

And the last few weeks saw The Relationship to deteriorate, especially quickly, stimulated by defector groups in The South to send propaganda across The Border ,

The South Korean activists, as a rule, balloons, send items, such as brochures, USB sticks or DVDs with criticism of The North Korean regime, as well as The South Korean news or Korean dramas wear.

All of the taxes aimed at the collapse of The North on domestic information, with The Hope that the people plunge perhaps someday, to The Regime from the inside.

The South Korean government has already tried to stop groups that send leaflets across The Border , argue endangers your actions, inhabitants close to The Border .

The Move prompted North Korea to renew threats of military Action , and shortly thereafter, it blew up a joint liaison office, which it had established with The South in the year 2018.

But it is unclear what escalate North Korea provoked The Situation .

"I doubt very much that the flight leaves, in fact, Pyongyang is motivated in this," Fyodor Tertitskiy Kookmin University in Seoul, had previously told The Bbc .

"It is much more likely that you will over this incident as an excuse to start an escalation. The Real reason is that they believe that The South has no real concessions, because of the conversations. "

According to North Korean talks in 2018 began, Pyongyang had hoped, the Dialogue could perhaps also translate in concrete easing of sanctions and increased economic cooperation with The South .

Pyongyang, the expectation had been the start of some inter-Korean projects, for example, so that tourism to the Kumgang mountains, an idea mentioned had been, in a joint statement by the Two Sides .

none of this is not happening, especially because Washington insisted that North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons, it is the speech on sanctions could be.

at the beginning of the year, Kim Jong-un said he was put at the end, during talks with the United States.
