#SouthKorea, #Japan and #USA Increase Military Ties Over Concerns About #NorthKorea
On the sidelines of the NATO summit in Madrid, President Joe Biden spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol. While the summit’s focus is on Moscow, Washington is taking advantage of the gathering of world leaders to strengthen its military posture against Pyongyang.
In the leadup to the meeting between the leaders in Seoul, Tokyo and Washington, Pyongyang claimed the US was attempting to create an “Asian version of NATO” to further its “sinister aim” towards North Korea.
President Biden stated the objective of the trilateral group is the “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” North Korea has a nuclear arsenal of about 40-50 bombs. Pyongyang maintains a diluted “no-first-use” policy and claims its nukes protect it from Washington-based regime change operations.
South Korea houses nearly 30,000 American soldiers that ensure the US would fight to prevent an invasion and places Seoul under Washington’s nuclear umbrella. The North Korean government, led by the Kim family, maintains Pyongyang will not abandon its nuclear weapons until the US abandons its aggressive posture.
All three leaders said they were concerned with North Korea’s increased weapons tests in 2022, warning Pyongyang would soon conduct its seventh nuclear test. North Korea has already tested a record number of missiles in 2022.

The official newspaper of the ruling party of the DPRK, Rodong Sinmun, noted on July 11 that the numerous meetings between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Chinese President Xi Jinping testify to relations that have not wavered in the slightest.

The second article of the agreement provides for automatic military intervention, stating that if one member is attacked and drawn into a state of war, the other must immediately provide military support.

#NorthKorea's leader Kim Jong Un says the country is ready to mobilize its nuclear war deterrent and is also prepared for any military clash with the United States.
The United States and South Korea on Friday (Sep 16) denounced #NorthKorea's first-use nuclear doctrine unveiled this month as "escalatory and destabilising" and Washington vowed to continue to deploy and exercise strategic assets to deter and respond to Pyongyang.
A joint statement after a vice ministerial-level meeting of the Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group (EDSCG), the first convening of the body since 2018, reiterated the "ironclad" US commitment to defend South Korea and said any North Korean nuclear attack would be met with an "overwhelming and decisive response."
The statement said the countries "committed to continue efforts to employ all elements of both countries' national power to strengthen the Alliance deterrence posture."
"The United States committed to strengthen coordination with the ROK to continue to deploy and exercise strategic assets in the region in a timely and effective manner to deter and respond to the DPRK and enhance regional security," it said, referring to South Korea and North Korea by the initials of their official names.

U.S wants to break #NorthKorea through sanctions
The United States imposed new sanctions on October 7 following North Korea's latest missile launches this week. The restrictions target a fuel-buying network that Washington says supports Pyongyang's weapons programs and its military.
The sanctions affected Kwek Kee Seng in Singapore, Taiwanese Chen Shih Huan and New Eastern Shipping Co Ltd in the Marshall Islands.
The United States alleges that the companies were involved in the ownership or operation of the Courageous, which was involved in several shipments of refined oil to the DPRK.
The Courageous vessel, known as the Sea Prima, allegedly carried out oil transfers prohibited by the UN to North Korean ships and at least one direct delivery to the port city of Nampo (North Korea).
In confirmation, the States provided images from space (as far as they are true, it is worth guessing).

Russia appreciates #NorthKorea’s firm support for special operation in Ukraine — diplomat
"We confirm our interest in further expanding cooperation between our countries to ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula," head of the First Asian Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry Georgy Zinoviev stressed
Moscow highly appreciates Pyongyang's support for its special military operation in Ukraine and the accession of four territories into Russia, head of the First Asian Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry Georgy Zinoviev said on Tuesday.
"We highly appreciate the firm support the North Korean government has given and is giving to the Russian special military operation in Ukraine," the diplomat said at an event marking the 74th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Moscow and Pyongyang.
He stressed that Pyongyang welcomed the accession of the Donetsk and the Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as of the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions to Russia.
"We confirm our interest in further expanding cooperation between our countries to ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula. I am convinced that the successful implementation of our common plans will bring real benefits to the peoples of Russia and North Korea. It will be an important factor in maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the Northeast Asia region, and will enable us to successfully confront challenges and threats from forces seeking undivided domination in the international arena," Zinoviev pointed out. He also stressed that cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang would make it possible to overcome the consequences of the pandemic, which still has a restraining effect on bilateral ties.
"Today our countries, as in previous years, find themselves shoulder to shoulder in the forefront of the struggle against the hegemonic aspirations of the West led by the US. The Russian and Korean peoples rely in this struggle on the strong traditions of friendship, good-neighborliness and cooperation between our countries," the diplomat concluded.

#NorthKorea shares details of latest missile test
Pyongyang claims that the two cruise missiles that it launched on Wednesday hit their target 2,000 kilometers away.
North Korea has claimed another victory in proving its nuclear warfare capability, saying that two cruise missiles that it launched on Wednesday successfully reached their target 2,000 kilometers away.
The two missiles flew above the Yellow Sea, between the Korean Peninsula and China, and were in the air for nearly three hours before they “clearly hit” their unidentified target, according to a report by Pyongyang’s state-run KCNA media outlet. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the launches and expressed “great satisfaction” with the test results.
Kim “highly appreciated the high reaction capabilities of our nuclear combat forces, which proved again their full preparedness for actual war to bring the enemies under their control at a blow through the unconditional, mobile, precise and powerful counterstrike by any weapon system,” KCNA said. He called the launches a “clear warning” to North Korea’s enemies and a verification of the “absolute reliability and combat capacity of our state’s war deterrent.”
At a range of 2,000 kilometers, the cruise missiles fired on Wednesday could travel nearly four times the distance from Pyongyang to Busan, the major city at South Korea’s southeastern tip. The missiles also can reach well beyond any target in Japan. Just last week, North Korea conducted its longest-range missile test on record, firing the projectile over Japan on a 4,600-kilometer flight. The country’s Hwasong-17 ballistic missile reportedly has a range of at least 15,000 kilometers, easily within reach of US targets.
Kim said he aims to continue expanding the “operational sphere” of North Korea’s nuclear forces to “resolutely deter any crucial military crisis and war crisis at any time and completely take the initiative in it.”
Wednesday’s launches marked the latest in a series of tests of Pyongyang’s strategic weaponry that began on September 25. Kim said the tests were done to ensure the readiness of North Korea’s nuclear forces to “wipe out” potential aggressors. One of those exercises simulated the loading of tactical warheads into a missile silo hidden beneath a reservoir.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol warned on Monday that the region faces a “grave security reality” amid Pyongyang’s nuclear saber-rattling.
North Korea rejected a proposal by Yoon in August to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for economic aid from Seoul. On Monday, Kim ruled out peace talks with South Korea or the US, saying his enemies “have still been talking about dialogue and negotiations while posing military threats to us.”
