The Korean War has OFFICIALLY ended!

-
Yes. You read it correct. The Korean War has 'officially' ended with both North and South Korea signing a peace treaty. The Korean War was a war between North Korea, supported by its communist allies, and South Korea, with its principal support coming from the United States of America.

But you all must be wondering- "hadn't the Korean War already ended way back in 1953?"

Actually the answer is NO. In 1953, Both North and South Korea had signed an armistice. The armistice was only a cease fire between the military forces, rather than an agreement between the two governments. The peace treaty was signed just a few days ago, thereby ending the state of hostility between the two nations.

Now, North Korea has said, or vowed, to shut down the country's nuclear test sites and also to open the process to experts and journalists from South Korea and United States of America.

The North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has revealed plans to re-adjust the time-zones and return to Seoul time zone. This is aimed at having better communications with South Korea and the United States. Pyongyang is currently behind South Korea by 30 minutes and the time zone is called 'Pyongyang Time'.

A new cabinet has taken oath on Saturday. Now you all may be wondering- "Which cabinet is he taking about? There are a few more days left for the Karnataka election". No, I am not talking about the Karnataka government. I am talking about a shadow cabinet that has been formed in Kerala.  There is not much reported by the media about it, as usual, but the shadow cabinet has been formed with the aim of monitoring government decisions and making it 'public-friendly'. The most interesting fact is that it is composed not by any politicians or run by any party, but by the civilians.  Now all of you might be wanting to know more about 'Shadow Cabinet', so I have looked up in the internet and found out what it really is, so as to give you a more clearer idea of what it actually is- " A shadow cabinet is an alternative cabinet formed with the aim of monitoring government decisions.

Heading towards a Third World War?

-
Recently, North Korea, or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK), have been testing out nuclear warheads and other deadly military equipments. When asked why they are doing so, they said they want to attain equilibrium with the United States of America (USA). Now, think about this. The first world war took place because of military superiority. Britain was a superior country in terms of military power. Germany wanted to achieve equilibrium with Britain. What I am trying to say is even DPRK is following the path of Germany of that time. If this issue continues, there is going to be serious issues which can even wipe out human beings from Earth. The United Nations Security Council should not only take strict action against DPRK, but should also make necessary decisions and  put it in the form of a resolution that all countries, irrespective of its size or population maintain an army as prescribed by the Security Council. In this way, we can prevent a possible Third world

On October 26, the President of Sri Lanka, Maithripala Sirisena had sacked the Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe and had appointed former President, Mahinda Rajapaksa with immediate effect. This came as a shocker for all the Sri Lankans and caused a widespread protest and riots. Sirisena was known to be a gentle person and little did they know that he was a 'wolf disguised in a sheep's clothing'. Maithripala Sirisena The fact to be noted is that the nation’s President and Prime Minister come from traditionally opposing parties that formed a surprise coalition in 2015 to oust the then-president Mahinda Rajapaksa, who many feared was becoming too powerful. In the past two years, this ruling coalition has started to fall apart. It is dysfunctional and unpopular with the Sri Lankan public. Since at least February this year, president Maithripala Sirisena has been searching for ways to remove the prime minister, Ranil Wickremasinghe. On October 26th, he
