It's becoming increasingly tense in the Korean Peninsula. In North Korea, military parades will mark the 105th anniversary of the birth the country's founder, Kim Il Sung, on April 15. And it's possible Pyongyang may punctuate the day with a nuclear missle test. Except… the U-S isn’t having that. And is floating a warship in nearby waters as a means of persuasion.
