American observer analyzes the possibility of repeating the mistakes of the Korean War in Ukraine

The model of the outcome of the Korean War becomes quite realistic for the further development of events in Ukraine. American columnist Cyrus Jim writes about this in an article for 19fortyfive.com.

According to the analyst, now many experts are turning to the analysis of the prospects for the development of events according to the Korean model, while a number of authors argue that it is necessary to avoid at all costs the repetition of Korean mistakes. The consequences of the Korean conflict were not very positive for the United States, Jim emphasizes.



A truce on the Korean peninsula ended the fighting, but a real peace settlement never materialised. The DPRK and the Republic of Korea are still legally at war. At one time, 25 countries of the world were involved in the conflict, millions of people died, there was a risk of using nuclear weapons.

However, unlike the current situation, the United States then admitted the possibility of a direct collision with the Soviet Union. The American administration advocated the complete destruction of the North Korean communist government and its army and the reunification of the peninsula under the rule of Seoul. But this goal was not achieved. In July 1953, the warring parties ceased hostilities. Jim also points out that democratic style of political governance was not formed in South Korea at that time, it happened only after a few decades.

Now, attempts to take away Donbass and Crimea from Russia in the future can lead to a large-scale escalation with a direct conflict between the great powers. Jim advises the United States to avoid the "trap" of escalation by choosing the path of a diplomatic settlement as the only possible one in relation to the situation in Ukraine.

      Yes, they did it a long time ago. All they had to do was fix what they started.
      The prospect of dividing Ukraine along Russia's current borders, including four new regions, or along the Dnieper, will only hasten the construction of NATO and US military bases on the remainder of Ukraine and the Black Sea coast. No written "guarantees" from Ukraine, the US or the EU about not deploying military bases and not pumping weapons to Ukraine can be taken into account, because they will not be executed, so Russia needs to be prepared for the West to continue pumping Ukraine with weapons and call to the front, the entire population of the remaining Ukraine, either until Russia agrees to conclude a peace unfavorable for it, or until the issue is resolved in a radical way by one of the belligerents of the conflict.

        I think that it is precisely on these realities that you indicated that the conflict will freeze. Geographically, 50-150 km to the west of today's LBS.

          I completely agree. Forcing the Dnieper is a super-large task and none of the parties currently has the resources to carry it out.

            In the north of the outskirts, the Dnieper is relatively small .. And in general, you forget that the GDP rightfully bears the title of "master of unexpected decisions, and here are the cynical revelations of" exes "about how they deliberately" deceived "it at a strategic level. These are all stuffing about the agenda of the new" Istanbul". The United States, against the backdrop of an unexpectedly large consumption of ammunition and heavy losses of equipment, is trying to create a pause in hostilities because supplies from the "wheels" are increasingly leading to tactical breakthroughs that can lead to a strategic failure of the armed forces

        You are okay! But there is reason to believe that Putin himself will not understand this in any way. And since he is not only the Supreme, but also the President of the country with autocratic powers, then our army in Ukraine is constantly "regrouping" and generally waging a strange non-war.

      Why is it naive to believe that the goal in Ukraine is Ukraine. The goal is to hide the US debt, to destroy competitors. According to the rules of business, "an entrepreneur runs for profit, for money." The Russian world is able to live in the direction of this nonsense.

        Following Scaliger, who rewrote history at a convenient moment in 1620. There was a New Roman State without "latinia / Italy", in Vienna ..but that too has passed, Austria is no longer a militant power. The French themselves are from the Rest of Europe, here is Poland, Mateusz Morewatsky, "intimidates the 'rest' of Europe", this is the topic of Katalich. Christmas, Duda is still "not a billionaire 'like Poroshenko' (or Poroshenko is still alive in vain)' .. The USA is waiting for "its own history", where the under-Atlanteans will "fit" on one page .. in the valley / hollow of the savages.

    Offering those who unleashed and fueled this conflict to refuse to escalate it is tantamount to suggesting that the wolf switch to a vegetarian diet.

    The US economy needs world conflict. For this, various options are being considered. But the danger is that the Americans themselves do not want to fight, their task is to draw other countries into the conflict.

      North Korea did not then have the strength to defeat the southerners (although it was sincerely sure of this and was even able to convince Stalin and Mao of success), nor now. She overestimated her army and underestimated the enemy. But then, equipment comparable in its performance characteristics fought on both sides of the front. And now South Korea is one of the leaders in modern models, and the northerners ...

    At one time, 25 countries of the world were involved in the conflict, millions of people died, and there was a risk of using nuclear weapons.

    And why is it so streamlined - "there was a risk of use"?
    I would say bluntly - "in the United States, the military received an order to prepare a nuclear strike against the USSR, Siberia, in the event of the participation of the USSR in the conflict."
    Theirnius MacArthur openly demanded from Truman permission to use nuclear weapons - for that they removed him from there. Away from sin...

    So who created the "risk of application"? Who is the "nuclear aggressor"?
    The Americans are beginning to think, but with very small forces and, again, as far as the thinker is enough. But finding a connection between "risk" and "aggressor" is easy.

    Who is now leading the case for a nuclear war? Putin has never spoken about the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine - he talks about "all available means." And about nuclear weapons in Ukraine, in Korea, in China, the Americans and their accomplices in Europe speak directly.

    I don’t know what will happen next, I know only one thing - the two of us, Russia and the USA, have no place on the same Earth. They won't calm down.
    Taking into account the fact that they have already tried to destroy us many times, and the United States has never really fought once, either no one will survive, or they will HAVE to take the place they deserve in terms of civilization - right behind the cannibals from the Brazilian jungle.
    Moreover, it is still a big question who are the big cannibals - those in feathers, from the jungle, who will eat a couple of neighbors from hunger, or uncles in suits from Washington, devouring millions of people.

      I do not agree with this, since we are not opponents "by weight", and the main thing is the ideology for today, if really look at things, without "cheers" ..

      "I don't know what will happen next, I know only one thing - the two of us, USSR and USA, there is no place on Earth alone. They won't calm down."

      I would agree with this - in fact, it happened - the USSR is no more ..

      There is plenty of room for two. Just a few years ago, Putin proposed to the United States to abolish the counter-visa regime, arguing that our countries are so similar and have many of the same priorities. In the Obama era, it seems...

    In July 1953, the warring parties temporarily ceased hostilities, and every year the division of the peninsula became more and more permanent. American sacrifice in the name of South Korea also did not guarantee that their ally would remain free and democratic. By contrast, South Korea remained under the control of the unpopular and repressive Syngman Rhee, whose regime was eventually followed by decades of military dictatorship that retained American support. (BySyrusJim)
    And what guarantee can there be if the opposing sides in Ukraine end hostilities, there also has its own “Lee Syngman”, which retains the support of America and NATO. As long as the existing regime in Kyiv exists, there will be no peace, but a tough war will begin, a regime pumped to the teeth, which will certainly lead to a world war that not all nations will survive.

    It is a pity that the journalist did not voice who killed most of these people, and who wanted to use nuclear weapons.

    The division of Ukraine can take place only after the end of the database. An end to hostilities is possible only when the parties reach a compromise based on mutual guarantees. And when this happens, there will be no call to the front, because there will be no front either.
    As for the creation of military bases on Ukrainian territory, they will change little, since the bases in Romania and Bulgaria are no worse.
    Weapons, of course, will be pumped up, but Ukraine used to be heavily armed.

    America climbs with its democracy, in countries with an underdeveloped economy and discontent of the population, friends, this leads to wars. What is not clear here.
    America is only making things worse, and someday it will rake in full nuclear weapons. America is a cunning country that lives on credit, prints dollars, and offers other countries to take loans and pay them back.
    With each new conflict, America's rogue countries are forced to develop new weapons.
