The situation with the DPRK gradually exacerbates. According to the latest data, preparations for a new test of nuclear weapons at the Punge Rear training ground resumed there. This was reported by The Washington Post with reference to the data of the American-Korean Institute of the School of Promising International Studies at the University of Jones Hopkins. The institute received satellite pictures, which show how the training ground is being conducted. Researchers admit that an underground nuclear explosion can be produced at any time.
This state of affairs is unsubscribing that other countries are scary. It was reported that Russia pulls up military equipment to the border with the DPRK "in accordance with the combat training plan." And on Sunday, the joint teachings of the naval self -defense forces of Japan with the Karl Vincon atomic aircraft and other US ships in the western part of the Pacific Ocean began. “All types of tactical actions will be worked out,” the official report said. The exercises will last several days, after which it is expected that the US aircraft carrier group will be deployed by the Korean Peninsula.
The American authorities sent this group to the peninsula shortly after North Korea launched the rocket at the beginning of the month. According to the US Vice President Mike Pence, the aircraft carrier will stay off the coast of the DPRK until the end of this month. He also mentioned that there is an opportunity to achieve a nuclear status of the Korean peninsula through cooperation with the People's Republic of China.
Pyongyang is not satisfied with the political line of the United States, in response to this they are ready to start military operations for the reunification of the north and south, TASS reports with reference to the North Korean official edition of the Nodon Sinmun labor party. “In response to even minor provocations on the part of the United States, the people and the DPRK army without any hesitation will deploy a great war for the reunification of the homeland,” the newspaper says. It is also noted that the United States “still carries out the plans of the occupation” of the northern part of the Korean peninsula with the help of Japan and South Korea, the closest neighbors of the DPRK.
Previously, the DPRK has repeatedly used nuclear weapons threats as an international dialogue tool. Just on Sunday, it became known about the next incident: as The Guardian writes , the authorities of North Korea threatened Australia that they could cause a nuclear blow if the authorities of Australia continue to “blindly follow the US policy” against North Korea.
The reason was the words of the Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, which publicly condemned the DPRK missile and nuclear program and reported the possible introduction of new sanctions. Pyongyang considered that her words that “DPRK measures to strengthen defense are threatened by the regional and global world” are complete nonsense. The DPRK leadership is confident that the situation on the verge of war on the Korean peninsula has developed "solely because of Washington’s hostile policy against Pyongyang."
Bishop immediately answered the statement from Pyongyang: “The threats of nuclear strikes on other countries from North Korea once again emphasize the need to abandon its illegal nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs,” she said, emphasizing that the DPRK poses a serious threat to her neighbors, and if they are not stopped, the threat will spread wider, including the threat to Australia. “The government of North Korea should be invested in the welfare of its long -suffering citizens, and not in weapons of mass destruction,” she advised.
On social networks, users discuss how real the threat of the DPRK is and what to do with it. “Maybe the full total isolation of the country from the whole world is needed. From the movements of citizens to information isolation and cargo flow. It is different in a different way. It may be necessary to lower to the level of the tribes. In general, such leaders themselves do not go anywhere ... ” - writes Sergey Volkov. “It seems to me it’s easier not to pay attention to them. But in this case there will be fewer information and budgets, ” says Pavel Somov.
“In vain [Australia] so ... These statements make the DPRK stronger - a nation that has passed the war on its territory and living in martial law for 50 years is fed by the hatred of neighbors. They need a different way to resolve issues. Look at Israel: the environment from the Arab countries consolidates, and does not disrupt the nation. And the Australians are all on the hollow: to condemn, a nation is an outcast ... ”- writes Dmitry Kiselev.
