Washington handed over operational control of South Korean troops to Seoul

According to the agreement between the American President Joe Biden and the leader of the Republic of Korea Moon Jae-in, it was decided to cancel the leadership on the use of missiles by Seoul. In addition, Washington transferred operational control of the South Korean troops to Seoul. Previously, such management was carried out "in cooperation with the United States."

The President of the Republic of Korea announced this at a press conference, which took place after the talks between the leaders of the two countries in Washington.

We agreed to enhance our defensive readiness and reaffirmed our commitment to the transfer of command and control (OPCON) of South Korean forces from the United States to South Korea.

Moon Jae In stated.

At the Washington summit, he and Biden confirmed that the range of the South Korean missiles would no longer be limited to the 800 kilometers specified in the instructions for use. Moon Jae-in said that the decision, together with the agreement on sharing the costs of maintaining the US military contingent in South Korea, is a "symbolic and significant measure" confirming the strong partnership between Washington and Seoul.

The guidelines for the use of missiles by the Republic of Korea have been in force since 1979, when technologies and components for the development of this type of weapons were transferred to Seoul. Originally for rocket weapons South Korea set a maximum range of only 180 kilometers, and the weight of the warhead was not to exceed 0,5 tons. Over time, these restrictions began to gradually soften, until they were completely canceled.

The United States, as always, is proposing war.

What does the war have to do with it? Just hand over some of the sovereignty back.

Well yes "sovereignty" in the use of agricultural machinery for the sowing campaign and harvesting.

With the permission of the United States, South Korea can now control South Korean troops and so on around the world.

[Wedmak]

What does sovereignty have to do with it? The United States transferred missile production technologies to the South Caucasus, but limited their performance characteristics. And now they are canceling this restriction. So yes, now Seoul can threaten the northerners with all its might. In fact, the United States planted another bomb of the future conflict by transferring missile technology, and now it has simply removed the fuse.

[Blackmokona]

Did you teach geography? Look at how far North Korea is and how deep it is to the Chinese border. And the old restrictions made it possible to shoot through the entire DPRK.
From Seoul to the Chinese border is less than 400 km. From the center of South Korea to the farthest point of the DPRK from it is less than 800 km

[Wedmak]

In fact, there were restrictions on the mass of the warhead.

[Blackmokona]

Even the starting limit of half a ton of warheads is enough for all tasks. and by now they have been removed long ago.

[Wedmak]

Even the starting limit of half a ton of warheads is enough for all tasks.

Yes, yes ... somehow other countries have more warheads ... and they try to throw them away ... away, but more. And here it turns out that half a ton is enough for all the tasks.

[Blackmokona]

Well, Iskander has less than half a ton. And enough

[Wedmak]

Enough for what? The DPRK had tactical missiles, and now it will have strategic ones! The difference, I think, is clear.
Are you replacing the very fact of throwing off control over technology with a dispute about the mass of warheads and range? You don't think China is going to get horny because now the DPRK complexes can fly deep into its territory?

[Blackmokona]

Strategic missiles require nuclear warheads. In the meantime, I have not heard that South Korea wants to leave the NPT.

Stepan, don't make people laugh. The United States, under the pretext of "disarming" the Japanese army, deployed its troops in South Korea under the guise of a "liberator".
The 38th parallel was generated by the political, strategic ambition of the United States: to prevent Soviet troops from occupying the entire Korean Peninsula.
The United States went out of its way to capture at least half of the Korean Peninsula. For they wanted to use it in the future as a springboard for an aggressive war on the mainland.

At the time, the journalist American newspaper M. Gein said: "We were not a liberating army ... From the very first days of the landing, we acted as enemies of the Korean people."
The author of the American book "Contemporary History of the United States" writes: "In fact, Wall Street's war against the Korean people began in September 1945, almost from the moment when its generals entered the land of South Korea."
If there was no American military presence in South Korea, then, of course, there would be no Korean War.

But you are right that something is being prepared there .. They can provoke and throw off all responsibility on the South Caucasus and the DPRK .. Like we have nothing to do with it, but the massacre will begin and there China and Russia will be involved .. And in the meantime, the United States will set fire to conflict ..

You need to be on the alert, the Chinese comrades, I hope, also understand what this threatens ..

Well, yes, I know .. About Siberia and the Arctic, we are reminded that Russia alone cannot own such resources ..
And the "anaconda" plan is working, tightening the ring around Russia!

[Ryusei]

Yeah, they only intend to chew it alone, and the rest will try to knock out their teeth.

As stated in the confrontation between South Korea and the DPRK, the worst fate for a dog - guarding the border between them. As they say, step to the left, step to the right ...

If you are talking about the United States, then it does not guard the border between the ROK and the DPRK ...

After this, Eunwoo should be in the West even to talk to the baidun on the phone! And, indeed, North Korean missiles now generally have to hit the entire territory of the United States!

Of course, the United States will put its hawk-like advisors next to those "who have received sovereignty", on which the collapsed truce will later be dumped.

Something Clear will minus you, but you outlined the situation in the first comment .. I tweaked it a bit ..

[Popandos]

I slightly corrected the situation with the minuses.
But in reality it is not a good alignment, do not forget that the northerners have a vigorous loaf, and no one will vouch for the actions of Mr. Y, they have long been pinned to the wall, so they have nothing to lose.

[Wolf]

Vydno that HERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD "ANALYSTS" on this Clear gets cons!

[tralflot1832]

I reread the title 3 times, how is it? This is a sovereign country of the South Caucasus. The only plus is that it does not impose sanctions against us. Maybe that's why the United States returned the command back, the Koreans turned on their brains. They don't want to lay down their lives for Uncle Sam.

It was the US brain that turned on do not want to make decisions for the fate of the Southerners ...

They don't want to lay down their lives for Uncle Sam.

But they will have to, if they have placed the US WB on their territory ...

[isv000]

Thank you, sir ...

[SVD68]

With these decisions, the US officials created a sense for China to participate in negotiations on the reduction of strategic nuclear weapons.

[Revival]

I would even say a pass with regard to the issue of "drsmd", which China ignored, but now ..
