Since South Korea and the United States have become closer, the situation on the peninsula has become more complicated and confusing. South Korea has repeatedly invited the United States to conduct joint military exercises in an attempt to deter the DPRK in terms of military strength, but the DPRK's toughness has still surprised the United States and South KoreaNot only did it respond to the United States and South Korea with military exercises, but it also successfully launched the first intercontinental missile and artificial satellite. This succeeded in further straining the Korean Peninsula issue。And the arrival of the New Year did not make the two Koreas "harmonious" for long.
On January 8, Yonhap News Agency reported that Lee Sung-joon, head of the communiqué office of the South Korean Joint Staff Headquarters, said at a press conference that North Korea had violated the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement signed by the two Koreas in 2018 more than 3,600 times and carried out shelling in the western waters for three consecutive days. As a result, the exclusion zone for the conduct of hostilities, that is, the military buffer zone, will no longer exist. From the point of view of words, South Korea's announcement this time means that there will be no buffer zone between the two countries, and the slightest spark will emerge, and war will be on the verge of breaking out.
In this regard, many ** are worried about the situation on the peninsula, saying that the announcement of the South Korean side is playing with fire. However, before South Korea unilaterally lifted the military buffer zone, Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, also made a statement:"Once North Korea is provoked, the invader will face the baptism of North Korean shells. ”In the face of Kim Yo-jong's gunpowder-filled words, the North Korean military chose to fight back strongly. I believe that even the ROK and the DPRK have not reacted, and the mutual temptation and competition between the two countries has suddenly become serious.
Does this mean that war on the peninsula is about to break out? Not really. The situation on the peninsula is complicated, and if a war breaks out, it will involve a wide range of people and have a huge impact. The reason why North Korea is doing its best to develop nuclear ** is not because they want to use nuclear ** to attack others, but to protect themselves. Even if South Korea has the backing of the United States, they will not rush to war.
