Recently, the military rapprochement and exercises between the USA and South Korea have increased the tension in the region. A new threat from North Korea came to the last move of the USA. Making a statement after the US Secretary of Defense Lyold Austin’s visit to South Korea, the North Korean administration announced that a possible military action by the US would be responded to within the framework of the principle of total war, including nuclear weapons.
“ENEMY ACTIONS REACHED THE RED LINE”
While the echoes of the US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s visit to South Korea this week continued, a threatening statement came from North Korea to the US and its allies. “The military and political situation on the Korean Peninsula and the region has reached the red line due to reckless pro-conflict maneuvers and hostile actions by the United States and its allies,” the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Referring to Austin’s visit to Seoul, the statement said, “This is a strong indication of the dangerous scenario of the United States, which will result in the transformation of the Korean Peninsula into a huge arsenal of war and a critical war zone,” adding that “Pyongyang is looking forward to a possible military action of the United States.” It was stated that it will give the strongest reaction within the framework of the principle of ‘total war against nuclear weapons’. Emphasizing that “Pyongyang will continue its deterrent activities if the United States continues to deploy strategic assets on the Korean Peninsula and its surroundings,” it was stated that North Korea does not seek any dialogue with the United States due to “Washington’s hostile policy.”
