Tensions between North and South Korea have been heating up, especially after North Korea's launch of a military satellite, which has sharpened the tensions between the two sides. South Korea's defense minister issued a strong warning, saying that any country that supports North Korea will face fierce retaliation from South Korea.
However, can such rhetoric come true?To achieve "fierce retaliation", it is not easy for South Korea to face large international powers such as Russia and China.
Moreover, it is also fraught with difficulties to unify the Korean Peninsula in one fell swoop, because South Korea's military strength is far inferior to that of North Korea. Therefore, the development of the situation on the Korean Peninsula is worrying, and South Korea's rhetoric is also facing a realistic test.
Although crowd tactics are not seen as clever in modern warfare, they still have a role. In this case, the inferiority of the DPRK's ** equipment seems to have become less important. Of course, it is not the war that is only about the army.
However, does North Korea have the ability to compete with South Korea's navy and air force?Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two countries' navies and air forces, North Korea is clearly at a disadvantage. However, the role of China and Russia cannot be overlooked.
Once supported by China and Russia, South Korea's vaunted navy and air force will become meaningless. According to the terms of mutual defense, China will definitely join the fight, China has a strong air force and the North Sea Fleet. Therefore, South Korea needs to think twice if it wants to be arrogant.
As for the rhetoric of the South Korean defense minister, it can only be regarded as nonsense. In addition to this, we must also be vigilant against the hegemonic ambitions of the United States. In recent years, the hegemonic system of the United States has been in jeopardy, especially after the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and Europe has accelerated the pace of "getting rid of the United States".
We must be vigilant against the United States stirring up trouble everywhere and calling for peace is the right way.
