South Koreans should "understand that the cheap ride is over and the American cavalry won’t be riding to their rescue."

An ant colony is great place to live, even if—or maybe especially if—you’re not an ant. It is, Italian zoologist Andrea Di Giulio says, “a heavily guarded, nearly impenetrable fortress rich with bountiful resources.” It provides shelter, food free for the taking, and its own highly-motivated, round-the-clock security force. And there’s the rub: If you’re not an ant, you’re likely not going to get past the bouncers and into the nest—and even if you do, chances are you’ll soon be discovered, attacked... Читать дальше...
