美军加快战略转移 朝鲜半岛成美先进武器展示场
U.S. Army speeding up a change of war strategy. - The Korean peninsula becoming a place for showing off advanced U.S. weaponry.
总之，美军这次明目张胆地把系列先进武器部署到韩国周边，既是想重新检验其在处理朝鲜半岛发生“意外”时的应对能力，也是向盟国展示美国的军事力量和美国永远是他们坚强、可靠的盟友，强化美国在亚太地区的影响力，其最终目的是实现美国的亚太战略意图。
In short: Currently, U.S. troops are brazenly deploying a whole set of advanced weapons at the periphery of South Korea. Now that [America] is considering once again to test its response capacity while dealing with the Korean peninsula at the time of an "accident" [or: something unforeseen], it's as well about showing off U.S. military strength to [their] allies and [about showing] that America is their strong and reliable friend forever. Such strengthening U.S. influence in the Asia - Pacific region, America's ultimate aim is to realize its strategic intentions for [that region].

一棵白杨树险引发“第二次朝鲜战争”
One white poplar is in danger to initiate the "Second Korean War".
近来，朝鲜半岛火药味越来越浓，“第二次朝鲜战争”似乎一触即发。回顾历史，近半个世纪以来，曾经有过三次面临“第二次朝鲜战争”的危急时刻。
Recently, the smell of gunpowder is growing stronger and stronger on the Korean peninsula. A "Second Korean War", it seems, is on the verge of breaking out. Looking back in history for nearly half a century, [we remember having experienced] three dangerous moments of facing a "Second Korean War".
The term "white poplar" is most probably referring to Kim Jong Un as becomes clear in the following text. What follows are three further chapters dealing with historic proceedings, each of them introduced by a headline:
韩“逞英雄”师长蓄意挑起
白杨树被挖局势失控
[literally: happyness and rage are changing].
The South Korean schoolmaster "posing as a hero"
and deliberately provoking.
Digging out the white poplar [will
turn] the situation out of control.

Reminding the Korean War
爱新觉罗·溥仪 — 我的前半生Here is an excerpt from the autobiography of Pu Yi, last emperor of China and emperor of Manchuguo, the Japanese puppet state during World War II. In the early 1950s Pu Yi was imprisoned as a war criminal in the South-Manchurian detention camp of Fushun where he learnt about the Korean War that took place almost in his neighbourhood. I provided some of his memories from that time in the English translation:
一直到我相信了中朝人民军队确实连获胜利之前，我总认为自己不死于中国人之手， 就得死在美国飞机的轰炸中。总之，我那时只想到中国必败、我必死，除此以外，别无其他结果。
" All the time before I came to believe, the Chinese - Korean people's army could really achieve a joint victory, my main concern was that I wouldn't die from the hands of Chinamen but rather during an air raid of the Americans. To put it in short: At that time, I only thought of China having to lose that war and me having to die. Moreover, I couldn't imagine any other result. "
…中朝人民军队把美国军队赶到三八线附近，我们还抱有很大的怀疑。…
" The Chinese - Korean people's army driving the U.S. away from the 38th degree of latitude was something on what we habored much doubt as well. "
As the year passed, Pu Yi experienced one night when he awoke due to some noise and heard many persons running at the outside:
我认为这必是美国军队逼近了哈尔滨，共产党终于对我们下手了，不由地浑身战要起来。
" I considered this could only mean that U.S. troops were pressing towards Harbin, [and I expected] the Communist Party to finally put their hands on us when total war was inevitably coming closer. "
The author Pu Yi was still undergoing re-education at that time and was not yet the personality that later became some kind of a "model citizen" and reputable member of China's Political Consultative Conference where he was engaged in historic research. In those later years he even enjoyed the personal protection of China's former prime minister and chief diplomat Zhou Enlai.
