Nuclear devaluation

January 6, 2016 Alexander Golts

So, the DPRK, most likely, has now acquired a hydrogen bomb. Confirmation of the victorious relations of the television there was a 5 -point earthquake recorded in the North Korean nuclear training ground, which is only 200 kilometers from the Russian border.

This is not to say that what happened was such a surprise for the world community. The chief North Korean chief Kim Jong -un a month ago reported that he had a thermonuclear weapon. At the same time, the DPRK authorities ignore calls to calm their nuclear ambitions. I note that these calls regularly sound not only from the damned imperialists, but also from Russia with China, which periodically feed the North Korean regime. Kim Jong -un all these calls safely ignores.

The third -generation representative of the North Korean bosses has the ability to blackmail the surrounding world, which he safely inherited from his grandfather Kim Il Sen and Papashi Kim Jong Ira. Nuclear blackmail is almost the only means of feeding the subordinate people. Local rulers who are organically unable to establish any acceptable life (possibly due to the lack of oil fields), carefully and with great art depict clinical crazy people who can cause considerable damage to neighboring states. And in order to calm down the next psycho of Kim, the amount of rice necessary for elementary survival is sent there. Russia recently began to supply hay. It is evident that there are no grasses in the DPRK - just like a joke about the possibility of building communism in one individual desert.

There is nothing to eat, but we make hydrogen bombs, and even in the ballet area ... It is familiar, isn't it? I already wrote that Pyongyang’s policy is an amazingly accurate parody of the Kremlin’s policy. Like the North Korean tyrant, the Russian chief is confident that he lives surrounded by enemies who sleep and see how to make Russia some muck. Open the national security strategy published exactly on the newspaper - this is a complete set of paranoid fears of the Kremlin hosts. Everything that happens in the world is one way or another poses a threat to Russia's security. However, these evil attacks do not knock Russia in any way with its victorious act.

Right now, at the time of the most severe crisis, a document that, in theory, should develop a country's strategy, on a blue eye, states: the economic situation of Russia is strengthened. Of course, patriotism is growing on the basis of “traditional values” (why not the Russian embodiment of the ideas of Chuchha?). And the main means of protecting Russian sovereignty is nuclear deterrence.

So, if the North Korean test brought something new to world policy, then this is a certificate of the devaluation of the nuclear factor. Until recently, the ability to turn huge territories into a radioactive desert, and all living things into ashes were considered as the most important attribute of a great power. In the Russian case, the possession of nuclear weapons for many years has been the only attribute of “superpower”, other factors - influence on the world economy, the ability to implement breakthrough scientific and production projects - Putin's Russia does not have. Even the idea of ​​"energy superpower" was decisively blown away. The Kremlin strategists are struggling to give a political weight to nuclear weapons.

Kim Jong -un is trying to do the same. The goals, however, are a little different. Grounding with nuclear weapons, Putin is trying to prove his right to solve world affairs. Its North Korean imitator is just trying to pose a world community. But after all, the size of the nuclear potentials of Russia and the DPRK so far differs.

The fact, however, that the “nuclear argument” of Pyongyan to the details resembles Russian attempts to scare the whole world, some of these attempts are devalual. Pretty soon, Kim Jong -un can begin to confuse with Putin ...
