North Korea is threatening Seoul again, this time over a disputed island.
If you've watched the news at all in the past decade or so — ever since Pyongyang tested nuclear weapons — this may sound like a broken record.
But you may not realize just how far back the North's histrionics extend.
We went back and pulled news headlines from more than 50 years of North Korean bluster against the South.
In some ways we shouldn't be surprised: the war never officially ended. An armistice was signed when the U.N. withdrew troops in 1953.
But the five decades of mostly empty threats we've put together should show you that the latest flare-ups are nothing new.
Hostilities had ended by 1954. But just four years later it seemed like there'd barely been any progress.
And by '66, skirmishes had begun breaking out again.
Kim Il Sung, who ran the country during this time, can be credited with starting the trend of periodic bluster, which was mostly came from frustration over American forces' ongoing presence in the South. He ended up ruling until his death in 1994.
