The United States has dominated the world for decades, and it can be said that it has brought its hegemonism to the extreme, and will eliminate any country that the United States believes does not conform to its interests and values.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States was even more unscrupulous, wantonly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, doing whatever it wanted, and playing the role of the world's policeman in the world.
Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic** was sent to the International Tribunal in The Hague by the United States, and finally died in prison.
Iraq's ** Saddam Hussein and Libyan head of state Muammar el-Qaddafi were both well-known regional strongmen, but they were easily overthrown by the United States, and finally collapsed, ended their rule, and lost their lives.
As far as the United States can see, the leaders of these small countries are all trembling, and once they are targeted by the United States, they are likely to be wiped out.
However, as arrogant as the United States, it has no choice but to deal with the DPRK and has repeatedly hit a wall on the Korean Peninsula issue. Why can't the United States do anything about North Korea, and can't act as recklessly as it did with Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi?There are four main reasons why the United States is powerless.
First of all, North Korea is a nuclear-armed country, which makes the United States very jealous.
After the Korean War, the peninsula lost its chance to reunify, and the two regimes belonged to two different camps. Despite being backed by the big brother of the Soviet Union, the DPRK did not pin its own safety on others, but vigorously developed its military industry.
To this end, the DPRK sent technicians to the Soviet Union to learn Xi rocket technology and develop its own strategy.
At the end of the 70s of the last century, the DPRK received technical support from Egypt, and on this basis, it developed three short-range ballistic missiles, which greatly enhanced its strategic strength.
Since then, the DPRK has been committed to the development of high-tech**, and in the nineties, the Songun politics was implemented, and the military was elevated to an unprecedented position.
Today, North Korea has long developed nuclear weapons and mastered intercontinental, hypersonic, submarine-launched and cruise missile technologies, and can even directly hit the United States.
Second, the DPRK is monolithic internally, so that the United States does not have the opportunity to take the opportunity to cause chaos and disintegrate from within.
The DPRK is a socialist country, and although it is a small country, it is very united from top to bottom and is very wary of external forces.
The United States and the West, led by the United States, like and excel most in peaceful evolution and internal subversion, cultivating so-called public knowledge in countries all over the world, secretly supporting reactionaries, and carrying out color revolutions.
For example, in 2010, a ** incident in Tunisia quickly turned into a huge "Arab Spring", which disrupted the entire Arab world and plunged some countries into turmoil and chaos.
However, the same tactics did not work in the slightest against North Korea.
On the one hand, North Korea is a single nation-state, and the internal cohesion of such a country is very strong, and it will not be easily attacked by external forces, and there is no living space for troublemakers.
On the other hand, the DPRK is relatively closed, and its people are less receptive to external information, so they naturally maintain a certain degree of vigilance against the outside world. If an outsider wants to enter North Korea and cause chaos, he will be discovered by the masses of the people before he even starts.
The third reason is that North Korea's extremely unique geographical location makes the United States a rat trap.
The fact that the DPRK is backed by two major powers, China and Russia, is itself a guarantee of security. After the end of World War II, the United States wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seek the reunification of the Korean Peninsula and let South Korea annex North Korea.
If South Korea reunifies the peninsula, this is very much in line with the interests of the United States, and it will also squeeze China's strategic space and pose a threat to China's national defense and security.
In this situation, he made up his mind to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and won the battle for the founding of the country.
Since then, North Korea has had a very close relationship with China. If the United States wants to make a move against North Korea, it will have to consider the will of the great powers in the East and whether it has the courage to repeat the Korean War.
During the Cold War, North Korea was established by the Soviet Union as a model country for socialism. With the help of the Economic and Mutual Economic Association, North Korea's economy has developed rapidly, and agricultural mechanization has been realized at an early stage.
For a long time, the DPRK has developed faster than the ROK, and the people's living standards have been higher than that of the ROK.
For either the Soviet Union or Russia, North Korea was equally important and could not be missed. It is unlikely that the United States will want to treat North Korea in the same way it did Iraq or Libya, and it will have to consider the risks and gains and losses behind it.
Another important point is that the Korean Peninsula is antagonistic between the North and the South. As the bridgehead of the United States in East Asia, South Korea also has a certain strategic value.
If the United States causes trouble on the peninsula, it will inevitably set itself on fire, and South Korea and even Japan will also be involved in the flames of war. At that time, it is difficult to say how much benefit the United States will be able to realize, and it will even outweigh the losses.
The DPRK is a very special country, and this country can turn a cold eye on the United States, and even make very tough voices on many occasions, and even desperately develop weapons of mass destruction, but the United States is helpless against it.
In the final analysis, any person or any country must be self-reliant, and only when it is strong will it have more freedom and will not be afraid of the wind and rain and threats from the outside world.
