Text Assassin. A few days ago, South Korea's Yoon Suk-yeol approved the suspension of part of the "9.19 Inter-Korean Military Agreement" and the resumption of reconnaissance and surveillance activities against North Korea, thereby provoking a new round of military confrontation on the Korean Peninsula. In response, the North Korean side then announced that it would no longer be bound by the relevant military agreements, and that it would reinstate the dismantled posts and redeploy troops in the relevant areas, creating a situation of military confrontation with South Korea.
It can be seen from this that South Korea's stupid approach is playing with fire, completely angering the DPRK and pushing the peninsula to the brink of war. According to the Observer.com3**, the tension between the DPRK and the ROK has escalated in a spiral alternating circle, but the fact that it has entered a substantive military confrontation so quickly still makes the outside world worry about the misfire between the DPRK and the ROK.
After the two Koreas halted the military agreements they had signed to ease the situation, North Korea's approach appeared more dangerous than South Korea's mere announcement of the resumption of reconnaissance and surveillance activities against North Korea. According to information released by the South Korean side, in just a few days, the North Korean side repaired 11 military posts in the demilitarized zone, and also deployed heavy guns, including rear-force artillery.
What worries the outside world even more is that while the DPRK has restored its armed posts in the demilitarized zone, it has also increased the deployment of shore artillery on the west coast. Previously, North Korea had deployed a maximum of two artillery pieces per shore artillery position on the west coast, but as the military agreement binding the two Koreas became a piece of paper, the North Korea increased the number of artillery pieces per artillery position to 10.
As tensions on the peninsula continue to escalate, North Korea has deployed troops and heavy forces in the demilitarized zone, and the latest news shows that South Korea has decided to follow suit. This means that the DPRK and the ROK have entered a state of substantial military confrontation. Under such circumstances, unless South Korea stops its military provocations against the DPRK, there is no guarantee that the artillery battle on Yeonpyeong Island will not be repeated.
After suspending the validity of the relevant military agreement, South Korea recently held large-scale joint military exercises with the United States and Japan in the waters of Northeast Asia, deliberately adding fuel to the tension on the peninsula. Obviously, the continuous increase in provocations by the United States and South Korea will only stimulate the North Korean side to take more drastic measures. Therefore, the observer network quoted experts as saying: Although the tense military confrontation on the peninsula was provoked by the United States and South Korea, North Korea is not the same as before, but quickly opened up a new battlefield that makes the United States and South Korea feel cold in the neck.
As a means of countering the military provocations of the United States and South Korea, the DPRK side quickly deployed a large number of troops, including large-caliber artillery, in the demilitarized zone and the west coast of the DPRK. In addition, the Pentagon threatened to "interfere" with the DPRK's reconnaissance satellite, which was just launched, and according to the "Reference News," the DPRK issued a warning that any interference by the United States with its satellite would be regarded as a declaration of war. If North Korea's strategic assets are attacked, it will definitely use nuclear weapons to retaliate.
Obviously, South Korea has colluded with the United States to stir up trouble in the peninsula, causing the peninsula to enter a state of high tension and even the emergence of a nuclear war crisis. What has caused this bad situation is Yoon Suk-yeol's political ambitions. You must know that at present, Yin Xiyue's domestic support rate is declining, and in the absence of the ability to reverse this decline, playing with fire on the peninsula to divert the domestic focus has become an inevitable choice for him to relieve pressure.
After Yoon Suk-yeol's trouble, South Korea's former Moon Jae-in's diplomatic efforts to maintain stability on the peninsula have been in vain. Yoon Suk-yeol knows that the intervention of the United States and other extraterritorial interference forces in the situation on the peninsula will only stimulate the North strongly, and it will be difficult to avoid a direct conflict, but out of consideration of their own political interests, they are obviously taking risks.
Of course, this does not mean that South Korea has the courage to engage in a war with North Korea, and it seems that it is only trying to escalate the situation to the tipping point of war, and after achieving some political goal, it will seek dialogue to reduce tensions. However, South Korea seems to have underestimated the North Korean response, not expecting the other side to escalate the crisis directly to the tipping point of the conflict. Obviously, North Korea has made such a move, which has put Yoon Suk-yeol in a difficult situation: either admit intimidation and retreat, or continue to carry it to the death, and the consequence may be the outbreak of conflict.
