The peninsula is blown up! What do you think about the United States making South Korea angry and the world shocked?
The situation on the peninsula is blazing, and South Korea is furious, how can the United States turn a deaf ear? This is no joke! Recently, the situation on the Korean Peninsula has been turbulent, and South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-hyun has choked his voice and angrily criticized the United States for not engaging in any global leadership if it is perfunctory in its alliance. This is not a trivial matter, and it needs to be elaborated.
Let's just say that this time, the DPRK actually said that the northern boundary line was a fictitious and test-fired a missile. Shin Won-hyun attended the National Assembly, filled with righteous indignation, and spit out the uneasiness of South Korea. The northern boundary line is the border that the South Korean army has guarded for the past 70 years, how can people casually say that it is fictitious? It's a joke, but to distinguish between truth and falsehood, who has an enemy and goes straight to the door, can you not be angry?
But looking at this situation, this place on the peninsula is really not so concerned. Russia and Ukraine are fighting fiercely, Israel is having a lot of fun in Gaza, and Taiwan is also in turmoil. The United States is either arching fires in Europe or planting mines in the Middle East, and from time to time it will stir up in the Taiwan Strait. The peninsula seems to have become a piece of cake in their eyes, isn't this underestimating our strength? This is not a trivial matter, and we have to let the United States know that South Korea is not a small role to be ignored.
Moreover, looking at the attitude of the United States, why does the South Korea-US-Japan alliance, which is clearly good, now support dialogue between North Korea and Japan? Isn't this a blatant betrayal? What does this mean, if the DPRK wants to have diplomatic relations with Japan, won't we in South Korea be embarrassed? This is not going to work, you have to have some attitude, and you have to warn the United States not to deviate, and to maintain the alliance is the right way.
But if you look at the United States, some time ago, the DPRK and Japan were at loggerheads, and the United States actually openly supported Japan and the DPRK in conducting diplomacy and dialogue. Although the words are a bit polite, this sentence alone shows that the United States is not very concerned about the situation on the peninsula. Maybe they want to maintain stability, but in the eyes of us in South Korea, this attitude is a bit wrong.
South Korea has actually always been very **, but this time the statement is surprisingly tough. When Shen Yuanxiang said those words, he felt a little anxious, as if to say: "The United States, you can't even protect us in South Korea, so don't sit in the position of global leader." Of course, these words may just scare people, but the words come from the heart, and they do not rule out a bit of a threat.
That being said, the United States doesn't seem to care. In the previous debate between North Korea and Japan, the United States openly claimed to support their dialogue, which is really puzzling. Isn't this a disregard for the Alliance? The peninsula is no joke, but with U.S. operations all over the world, there may not be much time to pay attention to South Korea's concerns.
In short, the situation on the Korean Peninsula is becoming more and more dangerous, and we in South Korea cannot afford to ignore it. The United States, don't go astray again, you have to fulfill your alliance obligations, otherwise you don't have to think about the position of global leader. This is not a trivial matter, we have to see how to solve it, if it is not good, the whole world will fall into chaos. Just wait to see how far this has go, and see what netizens say.
On that day, you can be trusted or not, the turmoil on the peninsula is not a joke. As soon as South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-hyun exited, the entire peninsula was boiling in an instant. Don't be too arrogant, this guy even said that if the United States dares to turn its back on the alliance, stop calling itself a "global leader". This is a big news, which has attracted a lot of discussion among netizens, look at the comment area, it is simply a lively and extraordinary "scolding war" scene.
The starting point of this incident is actually the game played by North Korea. The missile test-fired and the claim that the "northern limit" was a virtual reality caused a lot of noise on the entire peninsula. As soon as Shin Won-hyun came to power, he scolded loudly, saying that the northern boundary line is a maritime border that the South Korean army has adhered to for 70 years, and if Kim Jong-un can't make trouble, he can only reap the consequences. Now, the situation is even more confusing.
From a global geopolitical perspective, South Korea's concerns are not unfounded. The contradictions between Russia and Ukraine have intensified, Israel has not shown mercy on Gaza's actions, and Taiwan has stirred up some new things from time to time. On the American side, it will either raise fires in Europe, plant mines in the Middle East, and occasionally stir up in the Taiwan Strait. I'm afraid that the affairs of the peninsula are really not very concerned in their eyes. It is inevitable to be a little selfish, but at this stormy moment, the situation on the peninsula seems a little lonely.
Shen Yuanxiang's words were really ruthless, and his attitude towards the United States was not polite at all. You see, he has always greeted the United States with a smile, but this time he actually put on a posture of "don't mess with me, or I won't protect your global leadership." Oops, that's a jaw-dropping breath. It is estimated that he has also seen through it, no matter what happens to the peninsula, it can't compare to the excitement of the dark clouds in Europe and the changing situation in the Middle East. The task of the United States now is to maintain stability, and South Korea is confused, thinking that the attitude of the United States is so strange.
What is ridiculous is that some time ago, there was a little friction between the DPRK and Japan, but the United States did not care at all, and even openly supported Japan in conducting diplomacy and dialogue with the DPRK. This may sound a bit polite, but it can also prove from the side that the United States is not really concerned about the situation on the peninsula. Although it is not to say that the United States wants to withdraw from the peninsula, it can at least be seen that their current task is to maintain stability.
But South Korea can't see it anymore and thinks that the United States is going off track. Why does the Triple Alliance of South Korea, the United States, and Japan, which was clearly promised, now support dialogue between North Korea and Japan? If North Korea really hooks up with Japan, then South Korea will be embarrassed. Therefore, when Shen Yuanxiang said this, he was actually forced to be anxious. He knew in his heart that he could not relax at this time, and that he must remind the United States not to "go astray" and that consolidating the ROK-US alliance is the top priority. If Europe and the Middle East continue to be in such chaos, not to mention any movement in the north, even the south may not be stable.
However, the United States' concerns about South Korea may be like fine sand blown away by the wind, without much attention. Now that the U.S. has a global presence, I really don't have much of the mood to deal with South Korea's worries. They may be calculating how much they can benefit from the peninsula issue before deciding whether to invest resources. On this big stage, South Korea's role may really not be big enough to attract enough attention.
In short, the complexity and challenges of the situation on the Korean Peninsula are like a storm, and the United States has chosen "maintaining stability" as the main line in this storm. Although South Korea's concerns are valid, in the eyes of the United States, it may be a more realistic consideration for how much "price" South Korea can sell for and how much resources it can invest in it. The situation on the Korean Peninsula may not be the focus of the United States' greatest concern at the moment, but for the Korean Peninsula, this is a stormy test, and what the future will go from here is still an unsolved mystery.
