North Korea remains one of the main suppliers of sensational news. The testing of nuclear weapons and the emergence of missiles for their delivery re-exposed issue, on which international organizations and state leaders fought for many years.
The shadow of the great war once again hanging over the Korean Peninsula, however, the use of nuclear weapons can lead to irreversible consequences.
The nuclear club
The relationship of North and South Korea over the past decade has escalated the number of times that the majority of experts rightly drew Parallels between the policies of the two States, and one well-known television Opera from two thousand series. Methods of low-intensity conflict each of the parties in this case selects are about the same. Along the demilitarized zone (on each side) through the speakers is “audiopreparation” in the spirit of fantastic stories.
And North and South Korea regularly hold military exercises designed to show, as they say in such cases, the “strength and commitment” in combating the threat. All the time that conflict occurs, terminate the active phase of which has been almost 65 years ago, both sides believe in the inevitability of the recurrence of full-scale hostilities.
“Southerners” are confident that the current North Korean leader Kim Jong-UN will move from words to deeds, and the North Korean leader, in turn, threatens to bring down the full force and power of the Armed forces of the country on its southern neighbors and the us military. The latter, due to the peculiarities of foreign policy of the previous (and current) US presidents in the history of psychological confrontation between the two Koreas are not so much in the role of guarantor of security as a catalyst, increasing the likelihood of full-scale war.
In General, North Korea in the eyes of Western people long been equaled, or even surpassed, the way the radical terrorists from the Middle East. North Korea for all the years of confrontation of information dumped so many problems and accidents that sometimes the headlines of American and British Newspapers seemed absurd. However, the increased intensity of nuclear weapon tests, as well as great progress in rocket and space industry of North Korea was given to understand the United States and its allies in South Korea that the situation is very serious.
Should immediately dispel the major myths around nuclear weapons in North Korea and to say that many of the technologies for the creation of warheads and means of their delivery are not technically sophisticated and advanced. However, much of what has flowed to Korea from Pakistan, Ukraine and a number of other member States of the “nuclear club” can create great problems not only in theory but also in practice. 12 Feb rocket forces of the DPRK tested a ballistic missile medium-range “Puchiko-2” (“the North star 2”).
On the composition of the combat units, the real power and the number of charges of the rocket is little known, however, the practical range, even in theory, can be enough to destroy not only South Korea but also Japan – the main US ally in the Asia-Pacific region. The North Korean nuclear club of jokes on the Internet and is similar to the lies the news has become a reality, and the response of the main opponents of the DPRK has not kept itself waiting.
The whole world into dust
A humorous phrase from the comic of the film in such case is better, because in the event of hostilities Pyongyang can indeed use nuclear weapons. It is important to understand that to stop the threat of the destruction of a South Korean allies American experts have started not just. Although at first glance it seems that the United States has begun to deploy anti-missile systems THAAD in South Korea because of his great love of justice, the real situation is far from this language. On 6 March, the threat from North Korea has acquired a finally formed image.
At 7 o’clock and 36 minutes a.m. local time the North Korean military conducted a test launch of a ballistic medium-range missiles. And all anything, but the launch coincided with us-South Korean military exercises, which started yesterday. Oil poured into the fire, and the statement by the North Korean Agency KCNA.
In an official statement said that the aim of the exercise was practicing attacks on U.S. bases and military facilities in Japan. However, the doctor of political Sciences, Professor of Moscow state University Andrey manoylo in an interview with TV channel “Star” has expressed doubt that the ABM system deployment in South Korea is aimed solely at deterring North Korea.
“This is done primarily in order to protect itself and its allies from a possible missile attack from Russia and China. This is used as an excuse the existence of the mythical threat from the DPRK and its missile and nuclear programs,” he said. “This threat, by the way, there is no doubt – North Korea rocket fly, rocket industry too, and very well-developed, but the main purpose of the us missile defense is, of course, not deterrence of Pyongyang. Especially it becomes obvious if we study the dynamics and the pace of deterioration of relations between the US and China,” added manoylo.
However, the fighting against North Korea forces in South Korea, the US and probably NATO experts argue so far. However the consequences of a new war on the Korean Peninsula while nobody counted. On one side of the scale are the technological superiority of the “Western block”, and on the other a commitment by Pyongyang to use nuclear weapons in case of aggression. The components (in theory) can intercept the most air targets with nuclear warheads, but even one or a couple “missed” on the territory of South Korea of nuclear strikes will be enough.
The population density and terrain, coupled with the use of nuclear weapons, in fact, guarantee huge casualties and destruction of not only military but also civilians. Get in this case, and Japan, whose people had already known the horror of weapons of mass destruction.
A terrible excitement and anxiety of the authorities and people of Japan, despite the complexity of the situation, on the one hand you can understand, because some of the remnants of the North Korean missiles fell just 350 miles from the Japanese Peninsula regional state Administration. On the other hand is a much more serious concern of many countries in the Asia Pacific region is a permanent US military presence and attempts to somehow intervene in economic and political activities of individual States.
ABOUT, APR, trump
After Barack Obama left the post of President of the United States, and Donald trump began to make the first key decisions, it became clear that some of his campaign promises the new US President is going to do in the near future. The funeral of TTP (Transpacific partnership) and the desire to increase the Armed forces, warlike rhetoric and accusations against China – all this is the reality of the first months of the presidency of Donald trump. The new American President is in this sense very similar to the “old” Republican Ronald Reagan, who actively fought against the Soviet Union.
Trump’s foreign policy aimed at containing and countering the two “traditional” and one “new” threats to the United States. The first two were Iran and North Korea, and a new threat – the increasing speed of the locomotive under the name of China. To deal immediately with all the former businessman trump is not and therefore will have to choose.
The intensity and the rhetoric around the Asia-Pacific region to make a cautious conclusion – Pyongyang and Tehran, the White house has decided not to touch, but Beijing remains tight and stressful job. From economic sanctions and other restrictive measures the United States can go to a military solution of the disputed issues, and just here at the forefront of the components, the Navy and all of what the United States has solved the problems of the last 30 years. According to military experts, in the future, South Korea can appear not only mobile launchers from the composition of the THAAD MISSILE, but the radar deployed on certain routes.
According to experts, such radar can repeat a US missile defense facilities in Romania. It is obvious that the European components of the us missile umbrella “look out” for Russia, and stationed in South Korea are aimed at China. Beijing, such a policy cannot be indifferent – in part for this reason, China is actively modernising its nuclear forces, increasing the production of pgrk – mobile ground missile complexes.
“We Express our strong protest in connection with the deployment of United States missile defense systems THAAD in South Korea. China will take resolute measures to protect their own interests in the security sphere, and all the inevitable consequences will be on the conscience of the United States and the Republic of Korea,” said foreign Ministry spokesman China Geng Shuang. The disastrous effects of attempts to capture the entire Asia-Pacific region predicted by Russian experts.
Professor of political science, Andrey manoylo in an interview with TV channel “Zvezda” explained in detail the consequences of the deployment of us weapons in South Korea. “The United States, of course, has all the chances to build in the Asia-Pacific zone ABOUT, but they are very much at risk. In a situation when China has tense nerves, any sneeze or careless movement could lead to the fact that China will strike the “PRO builders” and sroyut all of their cooking. Enough of the spirit Trump after this to respond adequately, but in the Chinese objects – the big question,” said manoylo.
The prospects of gaining a critical mass of “confrontation” and really not very good. DPRK authorities, actively developing nuclear and space industry all kind of show who, if anything, will get the Korean “gruel”, and the South Korean government gave at the mercy of those who does not issues, and aggravation and aggravation. Without a doubt, analyze a new round of confrontation in the Asia Pacific region and in the Kremlin. However, a peaceful outcome is possible only in the case that some will not ignite and others to add fuel to the fire. And unfortunately, neither the first nor the second are not observed.
