Comprehensive Yonhap News Agency , Korea Central News Agency reported on October 19 that on October 18, both North and South Korean armies restarted live artillery exercises near 38th parallel . South Korea's Joint Staff Headquarters said that the military repeatedly used communication channels to issue warnings, condemning the North Korean side's artillery violation of the "Military Agreement" that day, and demanded that it stop provoking immediately. North Korea accused South Korea of provocation. A spokesperson for the General Staff of the North Korean Army issued a statement on the 19th saying that after October 13 and 14, the South Korean army once again launched military provocations to stimulate our side on the 18th. On the 18th, the South Korean military launched dozens of rockets in the frontier of Tetsuwon County, Namgangwon Province. North Korea's military actions are a harsh response to South Korea's military provocations.
In recent times, the situation on the peninsula has continued to be tense. South Korea and North Korea have not only criticized each other in diplomacy, but also looked tense. In real military actions, it is getting more and more overheard. At the beginning, the US-South Korea coalition forces conducted military exercises against North Korea. The North Korean military was not willing to be outdone and launched the missile to fight back. Later, it developed to the point where the two sides dispatched fighter planes to confront each other in the air, and now it has reached the brink of danger of mutual shelling. This is not the first time that both sides have shelled. Such actions are extremely dangerous because they are already on the verge of actual combat outbreak. After all, shelling near the military demarcation line is no longer limited to the scope of military deterrence. If you are not careful, the war between South Korea and North Korea will be ignited again. For example, if a certain shell from both sides falls into the other side's area, it will become the fuse of the war.
Just against the background of the very dangerous situation on the peninsula, the United States and South Korea not only did not take the initiative to ease the situation, but were constantly raising fire. According to the South Korean Air Force on the 18th, it will hold a joint South Korea-US air exercise over the Korean Peninsula from October 31 to November 4, with about 250 South Korean and US military aircraft participating. This is the largest joint aerial exercise held again after five years after South Korea and the United States held its largest joint aerial exercise in December 2017. Such joint exercises are naturally a deterrent targeting North Korea and are extremely warning. Not only that, South Korean politics has recently been talking about the re-deployment of US tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea and the sharing of nuclear weapons with the United States and other various "extended deterrence" plans. This is to prevent North Korea's nuclear weapons deterrence, and even want to impose nuclear weapons deterrence on North Korea.
Obviously, these operations in South Korea and the United States are aggravating the deterioration of the situation and stimulating North Korea's nerves. North Korea will never surrender to their actions. North Korea's top leader has long made a statement that he is ready to eliminate the "South Korea Army" and go to war with the United States. Moreover, North Korea's military power cannot be underestimated. Although there is no intercontinental missile that North Korea tests recently, the experiment of the Chinese long-range missile is extremely successful. In other words, the United States is not only within the strike range of North Korea, but all its bases in Asia are within the strike range. Once a war really breaks out, the United States and South Korea will face a fierce counterattack from North Korea, which may not be able to afford it.
0000000000 missiles have been restarted, and there are reasons why they are afraid of North Korea's missile power. The United States and South Korea are preparing for actual combat, and want to use this kind of air exercise to enhance the combat effectiveness of the US and South Korea coalition forces. In order to really deteriorate on the peninsula, the US and South Korean Air Force can quickly grasp the air supremacy , destroy North Korea's military facilities, and prevent it from launching missiles to counterattack. This intention is extremely sinister, and it is almost the deterrent force of targeted containment of North Korea's military power. Such actions may cause South Korea to have strategic misjudgment. It is the mentality that arises under this misjudgment, such as the deployment of US tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea and the sharing of nuclear weapons with the United States.
thought that South Korea has nuclear weapons and first-mover advantage, it can make North Korea helpless and even in turn deter North Korea. Little do they know that once the Korean Peninsula enters a nuclear confrontation, the people of both South Korea and North Korea will have to live under nuclear fear.By then the situation on the peninsula will be really dangerous, and if you are careless, you may end up dying together. Moreover, the nerves of both parties will be in a tight state, and they will lack rational thinking and buffering time. Once the situation deteriorates, it will lead to an unimaginable ending. South Korea thought that with the support of the United States, it would have a strong national defense security and could suppress North Korea, but it did not know that this would only bring the South Korean people into the abyss and make the situation on the peninsula more uncontrollable. After all, the peninsula has never touched the nerves of South Korea and North Korea, and this is a natural game field for great powers.
