Looks like the South blinked first. No telling what kind of back-door discussions are going on though.

US carrier to join S.Korea anti-submarine drill

PANMUNJOM, Korea — A nuclear-powered US aircraft carrier will join a major anti-submarine naval exercise with South Korea next week in a show of defiance against communist North Korea, sources said Wednesday.

...

Yonhap quoted one military source as saying the joint drill was initially planned for late June or early July, but was brought forward to send a "strong signal and show off a firm defence posture".

The George Washington will head a US battle fleet comprising some 10 ships including an Aegis destroyer and nuclear-powered submarines, it said.

I have not read the entirety of replies in this thread, but I would like to point out that while a full-out war with North Korea is currently unlikely, I feel North Korea - U.S. relations will be at the apex of diplomatic tensions before the fall to nuclear warfare and World War 3.

Whenever you have an unstable nation which is hungry, with the world's second largest military, a people so patriotic they religiously worship the leader, and a violently irrational level of xenophobia with a past history of violence, there are major grounds for issue.
