Seoul does not rule out the acquisition of nuclear weapons against the backdrop of ongoing missile launches by the DPRK

South Korea is getting closer to acquiring a nuclear weapons, in Seoul they do not exclude such a possibility with the continuation of missile launches of the northern neighbor - the DPRK. This was stated by the leader of the ruling South Korean party "Civil Force" Jung Jin Suk.

Seoul allows the appearance of nuclear weapons in the arsenal of the South Korean army, without specifying where they will come from. According to Jung Jin Suk, South Korea is currently participating in the DPRK's "extended deterrence" program along with Japan and the United States, but considers the Kill Chain concept, which provides for a preventive strike against North Korea's missile and nuclear facilities, as its main concept. Nuclear weapons fit perfectly into this concept, Pyongyang must be defeated, after which North Korea will no longer be able to threaten anyone.

The more North Korea's reckless armed provocations continue, the more talk of acquiring nuclear weapons will grow. We need to strengthen the Kill Chain system so that North Korea can never recover if it tries to use nuclear weapons on the peninsula

- said the head of the party.

The current authorities of South Korea do not seek dialogue with the DPRK, and the policy of the previous president, Moon Jae-in, is considered a "pacifist show." In general, Seoul chose the path of rearmament, taking into account the fact that the United States will not put its soldiers behind South Korea in the event of a conflict with North Korea.

In recent days, the DPRK has carried out several missile launches, testing various missiles, including the Hwaseong-15 ICBM, capable of reaching any point on US soil.

South Korea is getting closer to acquiring nuclear weapons, Seoul does not rule out such a possibility

Iran means no. Is it possible for South Korea?
And when will the European Union and other mongrels start imposing sanctions? Or "This is different"?

[Arkadich]

They want what they can and want, but who will give them? Even the United States is extremely cautious about expanding the membership of the nuclear club.

If only now an American lop-eared Negro would hear about "the inadmissibility of the spread of nuclear weapons around the planet."
Or watch how, puffing out his cheeks, the American fleet carried out the combat command "Nale-vo" and spit into New Zealand - like, we were not even going to North Korea. Trump remembers...

I like Jews in this regard

Israel does not have nuclear weapons. But, if necessary, he will apply it.

It is unlikely that the United States today can afford to sell (transfer) nuclear weapons to someone. Yes, they can drag their nuclear weapons to some kind of their base in South Korea, but no.

[forty-eighth]

What do you mean "acquire"?
It's not a bag of salt, you can't buy it at the market. What about non-proliferation treaties and all that nonsense?
However, it is clear that everyone is hard at work putting a bolt on any old treaties, especially the Western world.
We are rushing all over the planet at full speed into the next world mess

[donavi49]

I mean develop. The Republic of Korea possesses industrial nuclear technologies. KEPCO has a reactor of its own design for 1400 mV - it operates 4 units at home and 3 units in the UAE + a unit is still under construction in the UAE and 3 at home. Again, in the UAE, they knocked out Rosatom and the French with their nuclear power plant project.

They spin the fuel themselves.

Therefore, what are the difficulties in creating a nuclear bomb for a country with advanced industry and nuclear technology?

[forty-eighth]

What about the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and its provisions expressly prohibiting the development of independently and obtaining from third states both the weapons themselves and the technologies to which South Korea is a signatory?

[donavi49]

Here, it was the signature that stopped someone? They will withdraw, denounce the document in view of a direct threat to the nation and that's it.

I just pointed out that Korea, as a power with a developed, high-tech industry, including nuclear reactors of the 3rd generation (it is a direct competitor to French high-tech and the most powerful in the world today - EPR), its fuel, its carriers (including ballistic missiles from submarines ) - it is quite capable of creating nuclear charges itself in the shortest possible time and putting them on stream. Moreover, they are quite capable of jumping into the 4th nuclear arsenal of the world.

[forty-eighth]

If such a pandemonium goes on, then Japan can catch up. They have already canceled the constitutional ban on military operations outside the country, if I understand correctly.
With nuclear technology, the Japanese are also all right.
The problem is that there is already a tendency to throw old treaties into the trash, and with nuclear weapons, a Pandora's box will open at all.

[donavi49]

Kim was making a bomb - no one stopped him.
Bombing Stone Age Iran - which also makes a bomb, no one is going to seriously.

Actually, I would not be surprised if the Saudis plant a bomb for themselves, just in case a fireman. It is better to have an argument than not to have one and to receive "sincere" condolences and condemnation of the one who applied from the world community.

[forty-eighth]

True, but North Korea and Iran are under UN Security Council sanctions for their nuclear initiative. Whether there will be sanctions against South Korea or the Saudis is a rhetorical question.

Well, normal people don’t talk about the big Satan and the little Satan, but they do what they need and sit quietly for 50 years, satisfied. Everyone who needs to know everything.

[igorbrsv]

Nuclear weapons are not purchased. It is being developed. South Korea will not have it. Only the United States can be placed there, but not against the DPRK, but against Russia

The Americans have already told us that missile defense in Poland and the Czech Republic is not against Russia, but against Iran.
I won't be surprised if American missiles are in South Korea. It's not against us or China. It's against aggressive penguins...

By the way, another big question is how China will react to the "vigorous loaf" at its side. Are they, the South Koreans, already climbing ahead of Ukraine to lick America?

[rotmistr60]

South Korea is getting closer to acquiring nuclear weapons

Will the Americans rush to impose sanctions on the Republic of Kazakhstan for such deeds, or will they themselves plant tactical nuclear weapons under the "extended deterrence" program in the first case?

[mark1]

"Acquisition" is how? - The USA, England, France are formally excluded in the form of a non-proliferation treaty ... maybe ch.z. Israel/Pakistan?
Comrade Eun needs to be given all kinds of support, South Korea needs to be crushed, it will soon become more dangerous than Japan with their ambitions far beyond the peninsula (aircraft carriers, ICBMs, nuclear weapons, etc.) and their technological development.

Nord Stream has shown the whole world that EVERYTHING is now possible. That there is no longer the concept of "state terrorism". There is the USA.

There will be American missiles in South Korea, which means that EVERYTHING is possible.
The Caribbean crisis will seem like a children's matinee.

This is different ... and there you look, and Vietnam will think about its vigorous bomb, remembering the visits of American and Chinese comrades.

[Prisoner]

The Pindos set the southerners the task of preparing sites for their nuclear weapons, don't go to a fortune teller.

[opuonmed]

like the United States, they give a hint to someone))))))))

[Wedmak]

In what sense are acquisitions? Is there a shop somewhere that sells nuclear weapons? Can I see the catalog?

Give the Americans only freedom - they would have shoved nuclear weapons into the Basmachi.
BUT there is a Russian nuclear weapons club!
Therefore, the Americans will probably place nuclear weapons in the South Caucasus, China is near there!
Therefore, this is 99 point and 99 hundredths another TALK, sorry Western PR.

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

Well, we see that the states do not at all embarrass themselves with the treaty on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, which they have not previously observed by deploying them throughout Europe. Our country must immediately withdraw from this treaty and deploy its missiles in Latin America, preferably closer to the United States. Let them again have a crisis like the Caribbean. And then the guys got mad. It's time to find control over them.

[isv000]

South Korea is getting closer to acquiring nuclear weapons; Seoul does not rule out such a possibility if North Korea continues to launch missiles. This was stated by the leader of the ruling South Korean party "Civil Force" Jung Jin Suk.

The launch of a nuclear missile takes time to make a decision. Then the time of approach will pass, while it is not at all a fact that it will fly "to the address". But did the narrow South Korean forehead think about what he would do with a volley of 14 guns from the demarcation line along Seoul, capable of inflicting critical destruction on the metropolitan agglomeration and killing millions of people in a matter of minutes?!

[Yaroslav Tekkel]

Of course, the South Korean forehead only thinks about this. In fact, they are fully aware of the scale of the problem and take it very seriously. A set of measures has been developed both in terms of civil defense and preparation for counter-battery combat. Where do you think they have the most modern self-propelled guns in the world? And there are also analogues of KHIMARS in large quantities, and more long-range missiles.

As for the narrow forehead, this is more likely not about the South Koreans, but about someone who has been shelling not only Donetsk, but also the Belgorod region for a year now. Somehow I doubt that the South Koreans would have tolerated this for a year.

[Arifon]

"Seoul did not rule out the acquisition of nuclear weapons..."
Yeah, let's get it, but more ...
This is where a nuclear confrontation between the two halves of one territorially small state can end in the death of the entire nation. So I consider the pacifist aspirations of the previous president of South Korea to be correct. There is no military solution to this issue. Otherwise there will be a disaster. Someone has to be smarter and more sober.

[APASUS]

How many nuclear charges are needed for South Korea? Considering that the capital is at a distance of a gun shot

[megadeth]

All the best to "grandfather self-propelled" and the American people ..

[Mavrikiy]

Not ruled out in Seoul acquisitions nuclear weapons against the backdrop of continuing missile launches by the DPRK

East market? How interesting ..... or all the same creation nuclear weapons?

[Yaroslav Tekkel]

Of course, they will not "acquire" at the market. They will do it themselves. The nuclear program in South Korea began back in the 1970s and was curtailed under pressure from the United States (otherwise they wrote all sorts of game in the comments). Also, under an agreement with the United States, the missile program was limited (limits on the range and on the mass of the warhead), but the restrictions were softened over the years, and Trump seems to have canceled them altogether.

Actually, if there is a political decision, the entire region - South Korea, Japan, Taiwan - will be able to acquire nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles in a short time.

[HaByxoDaBHocep]

I don’t understand at all why Russia has not yet lifted the sanctions on North Korea that it joined, grain and fertilizer have nothing to do with complaining, give them, give oil, it will be the most devoted ally
