Starting from the eve of National Day, perhaps due to the current US Vice President Harris visiting South Korea and visiting the North-South Korea border area, and after five years, the US Navy Reagan aircraft carrier battle group visited South Korea, intending to help South Korea send warning signals and show South Korea the previous commitment to "extend deterrence to North Korea". Since September 25, North Korea has launched different types of missiles to counterattack many times. Especially on October 8, the State Administration of Aviation of North Korea publicly stated that North Korea launched missiles several times in succession, and is a planned self-defense measure to maintain national security and regional peace from the direct military threat of the United States. In short, it is targeted at the United States in .
It can be said that since September 25, North Korea launched one on September 25, two on September 28, two on September 29, two on October 1, one on October 4, two on October 6, and two again on October 9. Among them, as many as 7 times, a total of 12 missiles were launched, not only the traditional tactical missile , but also medium- and long-range ballistic missiles with a range of more than 4,500 kilometers, and unproven hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missiles.
But North Korea has continuously launched different types of missiles, and it is openly the original intention of launching these missiles is to target the United States. However, judging from the US trends, the US has not made any public response. Logically speaking, as the country with the strongest military strength in the world today, the United States has caused many large-scale wars that have broken out around the world in the past twenty years. Especially this year's Russia-Ukraine conflict and the European energy crisis are directly related to the United States. Moreover, over the past years, the United States has been using various means to target and sanction Russia, which has super strong nuclear weapons, .
But why are North Korea publicly launching missiles to target the United States? The United States dare not speak out, nor dare to sanction and suppress North Korea like sanctions on Russia?
. The two countries are essentially the biggest difference:
Although Russia has not continued the Soviet Union's socialist political system and has not developed into a capitalist political system, Russia's semi-presidential republican system also needs to vigorously develop the economy and people's livelihood. However, Russia cannot produce and sell itself in both population and development environment, especially Russia is rich in energy. If it wants to develop its economy, it can only sell oil, natural gas to economically developed Europe.
At the same time, although these European countries have very developed economies and strong industrial manufacturing capabilities, they lack energy, so one lacks energy and the other lacks industry and economic environment. It just so happens that Russia and Europe can cooperate with each other to meet the needs of each other and give full play to their own advantages in each other.
However, Europe has been controlled by the United States-led NATO since the Cold War of the Soviet Union. Later, although European countries established EU for common development. But since ancient times, the EU has a large number of countries, but most of them have a small land area and will not form a large-scale army at all (a strong army costs a lot every year). So when its own military strength is weak, we have to find a big brother with strong military strength, and this big brother happens to be the United States.
So the United States wants to control the former Soviet Union and now Russia through European countries, while European countries want to use the strong background and global strength of the United States to have a voice in the international community, and at the same time prevent it from being annexed by the Soviet Union or Russia, the polar bear , the polar bear , so both sides have become the interests.
That is, for the United States, controlling European countries can impose sanctions and strikes on Russia.
But North Korea is different. North Korea is a complete People's Congress political system country. North Korea implements a planned economy. A North Korean citizen will basically spend his life step by step from birth to death. Young people do not need to worry about buying a house or a car. They only need to complete the country's work on time, quality and quantity. The country will be distributed uniformly when the house reaches its age, and the car will be distributed according to different social values.
Moreover, North Korea itself is a country with scarce resources. Although its country produces a lot of coal, its coal output is low and coal exports do not meet the international development direction of reducing carbon neutrality . Therefore, there are basically no industries that North Korea has contacted with foreign countries first. Then the United States wants to sanction North Korea, and the traditional foreign trade sanctions economic model cannot be achieved at all.
Then you can only take the inner road, but North Korea is a political system of the People's Congress, which is completely different from the capitalist country like the United States. The things North Korea produces and manufactures can just meet domestic urgent needs, and can adjust the development direction, production quantity and production speed in many aspects according to its own needs, including the various missiles that North Korea is proud of.
For example, North Korea can independently develop and produce more ballistic missiles , even intercontinental missiles and hypersonic missiles , and at the same time install nuclear warhead for these missiles. The test-firing of these missiles is also planned self-defense measures to maintain national security and regional peace. So for the United States, North Korea's missiles are completely produced and sold by themselves, and there is no way to impose sanctions on the United States.
So in the past few years, North Korea has tested various types of ballistic missiles or new missiles every year, and many of these missile launch directions are in the direction of the Sea of Japan, and the targeting is basically the direction of the United States, Japan and South Korea, but the United States has no choice. Even whether the two sides can hold a security dialogue is decided by North Korea. It’s like you cannot destroy the inner world of a person with six ears, no desires and no desires.
Especially for the United States, Japan and South Korea, it remains to be discussed whether the United States will be attacked once it annoys North Korea, but South Korea and Japan will definitely become the primary targets of North Korea's anger. Can you imagine that hundreds of thousands of shells exploded in Seoul and Tokyo at the same time within an hour? Can you imagine what the scenarios and consequences would be for the intercontinental missile loading with nuclear warheads land on the United States?
2. The United States has its own abacus of interests
If we look at the wars launched by the United States over the past 20 years, it is not a problem to launch an attack first and rely on the more comprehensive and powerful military and economic strength of the United States to defeat North Korea, it is the same as when it launched the Iraq War to overthrow the Saddam regime and the Libyan War to overthrow Gaddafi . But from the fundamental interests of the United States, the existence of North Korea and even the strength of North Korea are of great help to the United States to return to the Asia-Pacific.
Because the United States has always wanted to dominate the world, but due to geographical restrictions and other reasons, it is impossible to achieve it by its own strength alone. Therefore, the United States plays chess pieces around the world and supports its own agents. Although the United States has controlled Japan and made it a loyal allies in the Asia-Pacific region since the end of World War II, Japan has a small land area and because of its defeated country in World War II, it cannot support the situation at all. Therefore, the United States wants South Korea to join and establish the United States, Japan and South Korea alliance.
But it is much more difficult for South Korea to easily win in than Japan. So for the United States, it must start from South Korea's own pain points. For example, 70 years ago, the Korean War was the first to be the one that North Korea sent troops to occupy Seoul . In the name of maintaining world peace, the United States took United Nations troops to the Korean Peninsula to help South Korea fight against North Korea.
The final result is known to everyone. With the help of Chinese Volunteer Army , Western countries led by the United States retreated and signed the 38th Line Treaty. At this point, North Korea and South Korea became two countries in the struggle. In order to make South Korea use it for its own use since the war, the US military not only set up a garrison base in South Korea, but also created trouble, which made South Korea still unable to leave the United States today.
For example, it helps South Korea develop military enterprise on the surface, but in fact they are all finished products, and eventually become the design, research and development of the United States and manufactured by South Korea. Therefore, for decades, although the weapons developed and manufactured by South Korea have been continuously sold in the international market, these weapons and equipment have all been in the hands of Western countries led by the United States, such as the K-2 tank and the K-9 self-propelled howitzer core technologies are provided by the United States, Britain, Germany and France.
So, when South Korea does not have strong military self-developed strength, facing North Korea not only has various ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, and even nuclear weapon that can squeeze into the top five in the world, it will have to rely entirely on the United States. In particular, the higher the frequency of North Korea's missile launches and the greater the threat of missile launches, the greater the help the United States will control Japan and South Korea.
So to sum up, it is not that the United States does not dare to sanction or attack North Korea, but from its own needs, the United States' sanctions to strike North Korea are very unfavorable to it. After all, North Korea's threat is gone. How could Japan and South Korea, which are close to the Eastern powers, continue to obey the US's orders? After all, many European countries have been playing pawns for the United States to fight against the Soviet Union/Russia for decades. As a result, we have also seen that the United States has caused the Europeans to be hungry and cold in this year's normal energy crisis, and has also snatched away a large number of world-class enterprises and wealth from Europeans.
