North Korea is angry US
After North Korean General Ni Yong Ho announced a couple of weeks ago that Pyongyang had weapons systems that could wipe the United States off the face of the Earth, the Americans decided not to remain in debt and respond in kind. The Washington Times reported that the Pentagon has decided to move to an active phase of developing a military operation against Iran and North Korea. These two countries are listed together by the US military department, although the Iranian problem has died down somewhat recently – at least outwardly. Only time will tell whether this can be considered the calm before the storm or a victory for common sense. But one thing is certain: before the US presidential elections, candidates and their supporters will lash out at the “axis of evil” with more and more withering criticism, but the situation is unlikely to reach real combat in the coming months.
And we must give credit to the "axis of evil" itself. As soon as Tehran calms down a bit, Pyongyang immediately picks up the baton. A Failed Launch missiles with a satellite on board, apparently only added to the enthusiasm of the DPRK authorities. Literally daily there are reports that Pyongyang is ready to launch a military strike on its southern neighbor, as well as conduct new tests of its nuclear weapons.
Against this background, the Americans have to keep the brand and respond that the military operation may well spread to North Korea. At the same time, as the Washington Times’s tactics and strategy of warfare on the part of the American troops, may differ significantly from what was in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now the American troops, if they enter into a military conflict, for example, with the DPRK, the war will be fought rather under the Libyan scenario. One difference is that instead of Islamic militants who, by definition, have nothing to do in North Korea, South Korean forces will be used. And the South Koreans, after the words of the generals of the DPRK about a possible attack on Seoul, cannot be eager to test their forces, backed up by American air strikes, in action.
But we must not forget that a hypothetical war between the United States and the DPRK a priori cannot be similar to what it was before. Despite all the irony expressed by Western experts on North Korean nuclear weapons, the DPRK has it (nuclear weapons). And not only there, but also tested a couple of times. And the same Kim Jong Un, whom a couple of months ago saw as a pliable semi-politician capable of selling a country to the West for genetically modified food, in the case of a big “warliness” may well give the order to use its missiles with nuclear warheads against US or South Korean troops .
But the American mentality is such that even a clearly hypothetical threat in the form of a nuclear North Korean response can make the United States hold back its spirited horses. Well, the Americans are not used to openly fighting an enemy that can at least theoretically respond to them seriously. And by and large, North Korea is not a very attractive territory for the United States to implement its plans: there is no oil or gas here (at least, the reserves have not been explored), but there are nuclear warheads that at the X moment can fall anywhere: from Tokyo or Seoul to the Hawaiian Islands, or even California... There are too many risks and inexpediencies for the Americans in such a war. And it is a stretch to call citizens of the star-spangled country risk-takers.
By the way, it is worth paying attention to an interesting pattern: as soon as a military representative of a state begins to talk about some weapon at the country's disposal, which poses a serious threat to the enemy, a slight panic begins in the United States. It is worth recalling that the words of General Makarov about some new military developments of Russian specialists raised a reactionary wave in the United States, aiming the White House even at some rapprochement on European missile defense issues. Now here the North Korean generals went the same way. Why? Maybe this is actually an effective method of communication with the United States. Well, if cooperation cannot be achieved in other ways, then it turns out that it is necessary to use workarounds ... Since we cannot wait for the North Koreans to wait for the West (and whether we need such “respect”), then at least good old fear the United States plays the first violin in political contacts ...
24 April. Pyongyang, North Korea. Kim Jong-un, Supreme Commander of the Korean Peoples Army and “great heir” Kim Jong-il on a huge screen during a concert of the Unhasu (Milky Way) symphony orchestra in honor of the 80 anniversary of the country's armed forces. The orchestra and choir performed patriotic songs praising Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
