Cooperation between North Korea and Russia against the United States

In his conversation with the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, Sergei Lavrov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, discussed bilateral relations and their current cooperation and emphasized on their agreement to diplomatically resolve controversial issues in the Peninsula. of Korea. The two sides have also announced their determination to counter US expansionist policies, which threaten the entire Asia-Pacific region. It seems that it is important to strengthen cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang when Russia is at war with Ukraine and at the same time the United States is increasing its pressure against Russia and North Korea, Political expert Lee T-Wan says about this matter that the United States did not think that North Korea, Russia and even China could solve some of the existing differences and improve their relations, especially in relation to the Ukraine crisis, an issue that has led Western countries to worry about the level of relations between Russia, China and North Korea.

At the same time, North Korea's threat against the United States to make an early attack in response to the risk of sending American military equipment to the region, including the B-52 nuclear bomber, shows that North Korea is not not only that it is well prepared to deal with any type of attack by the United States and its regional allies, but it can also launch an early attack to protect itself from any type of American attack. The B-52 nuclear bomber From North Korea's point of view, the United States is well aware that the Korean Peninsula is in a state of war and the weapons sent to its protocol countries will be the first to be targeted during a conflict. This is an important warning to Japan and South Korea, which in recent years have strengthened the trend of accumulating military equipment and placing US military equipment on their lands. Wen Ti Song, a lecturer in politics at the Australian National University who is also an expert in international affairs, says in relation to this matter that: In recent years, the United States has been pursuing policies to strengthen its modern tools such as THAAD missiles, in South Korea. something that has worried the countries of North Korea and China.

Therefore, North Korea's warning to the United States regarding its military politics in East Asia can also be a serious threat to its allies. In any case, from the point of view of regional circles, including those of North Korea, the era of the United States monopolizing opportunities to launch attacks has passed, thus landing aircraft carrying nuclear bombs, the B-52 and the new fifth generation F -22 south of the Korean Peninsula is considered by North Korea to be a major threat to its national security. The American submarine USS Ronald Reagan In any case, the anchoring of the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan in the port of Busan, located in the southeast of South Korea, for five days, following the military maneuvers of the three countries of the United States, Japan and South Korea, clearly shows that Washington is still pursuing the trend of strengthening the military alliance with its regional allies against North Korea, China and even Russia.
