The tension on the Korean peninsula is maintained due to the active development of the DPRK nuclear missile program, as well as the US-South Korean military maneuvers. In July 2017, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea twice tested ballistic missiles, on August 29 and September 15, carried out two more rocket launches that flew over the territory of Japan, and on September 3 announced a successful hydrogen charge test. The UN Security Council sharply tightened the regime of international sanctions against the DPRK regarding this.
US President Donald Trump promised that Washington would no longer tolerate the provocative actions of the DPRK. He said this at a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo on November 6.
"The conduct of forbidden nuclear tests and missile launches that fly over Japan threaten the safety of civilians. The United States will no longer tolerate such behavior of North Korea, "said Donald Trump.
According to Trump, Washington and Tokyo are working closely together to "confront the dangerous aggression of the North Korean regime." The American president noted that Japan would be able to shoot down DPRK missiles when it completed the purchase of new weapons from the United States.
The United States continues to militarize the region with such actions, provoking a nuclear conflict. It is worth noting that in the case of the deployment of US anti-missile weapons, Japan risks becoming a priority target for North Korean missiles. It is interesting that Japan will spend its budget funds to become a nuclear shield for the United States.
The US Congress prepared a report in which it calculated the possible casualties from the first days of the war with the DPRK. According to experts, 300 thousand people may die in the first days of the conflict.
Specialists note that the report did not calculate the option with the use of nuclear weapons. It was only about the use of conventional weapons. The reporters rely on data according to which the artillery of North Korea can produce up to 10 thousand shells per minute.
Obviously, in the case of a nuclear strike, the victims will be many times larger, and the peaceful population of Japan and South Korea will suffer first. Thus, although the United States has promoted itself as the main ally and defender of these two countries, they serve the United States as "cannon fodder" in the fight against the DPRK.
