The US military leadership says that to protect the US and its allies in the APR from North Korea’s missile threats, it became necessary to deploy the latest American missile defense system THAAD on the Korean Peninsula. In this regard, in 2017, the United States promptly began to deploy this anti-missile system in South Korea.

Thus, in early September, a full-fledged «standard troop» of the US Thaad Missile Defense System (THAAD), consisting of a radar, command and control system, six launchers with eight antimissiles each, appeared at a military base in South Korea in Sonju County. The operation of the systems ensures about 200 US soldiers and officers.

After the deployment of a missile defense system on the Korean Peninsula, it became the first complete THAAD missile defense system outside the United States, which undoubtedly affects the region’s strategic balance. This system is an important part of the US missile defense program and it is capable of intercepting medium and long-range missiles. The detection radius can reach 2 thousand km, threatens the security of other countries in the region. The THAAD system is an important part of the American missile defense system in East Asia.

Undoubtedly, the North Korean nuclear threat, from which the United States allegedly wants to protect itself and its allies in the APR, is only a pretext for creating the Asian segment of the global US missile defense system. Moreover, under the pretext of «threat» from the DPRK, the United States maintains a large armed group in South Korea, in the near future plans to supply new anti-missile systems, which will contribute to the expansion of the US missile defense system in South Korea and help Washington to maintain tension in the region. US-South Korean missile defense cooperation will only impede the stabilization of the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

As for the DPRK, it carries out its missile launches due to the fact that large-scale naval and land forces of the United States are based in South Korea and Japan. Therefore, the «peacekeeping» efforts of the US President to normalize relations with Pyongyang cannot lead to an improvement in the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

As for South Korea, it is even more than Japan, dependent on American influence. However, according to international analysts, the war on the Korean Peninsula is not part of the tasks of the United States, but reconciliation of the North and the South is definitely not profitable for them. Therefore, in various ways, Washington is trying to achieve a tangible advantage in the military sphere over the DPRK, maintaining tension in relations between Seoul and Pyongyang.

It is worth recalling that it was thanks to Washington that Korea after the World War II was divided into two parts - the North and the South. For the United States, an urgent question arose - to take some measures in order not to allow the Soviet troops to move south to the Korean peninsula, and to occupy the whole territory of Korea.

Thus, the United States, pursuing a line along the 38th parallel of northern latitude, identified it as a temporary «line of responsibility» between the Soviet Union and the United States to accept the surrender of the Japanese army and disarm it.

Soon, in order to prevent a possible perpetuation of the split in the country, North Korea, as an initiative, evacuated all Soviet troops and demanded the withdrawal of American troops from South Korea.

However, the United States, while maintaining and strengthening its military presence in South Korea, was looking for a convenient chance for aggression against North Korea. And finally, on June 25, 1950, they, having incited the South Korean puppet army, started the Korean War.

Thus, history and reality clearly say that the United States has continuously made and is carrying out military provocations against North Korea. Washington did not want and does not want to heal inter-Korean relations and unite the Korean nation, since in case of reconciliation of the two Korean states, the American troops will not have a reason to be on the territory of the Korean Peninsula.
