Who views the conflict between North Korea and the United States as a bilateral conflict is wrong. It is not about a mismatch between the Washington DC and Pyongyang – it’s a fateful conflict for the whole planet, a colossal clash between barbarism and civilization. One angry tyrant has proclaimed not only the verbal war of the entire outside world - and after all its leaders, the economically, politically and morally-oriented countries on the planet. Pyongyang's latest missile trials have demonstrated how justified the West is about the fate of the world. Focused the entire state power in his hands, Kim Jong-un realizes that foreign policy aggression, war with the whole outside world is the only way to hold back his generalist rule. Which is endangered by malicious external forces, but by its own people.
The most dangerous enemy of the most famous despot on the planet is mass famine, misery, immeasurable sufferings of his own subjects. Whatever, as much as they have been documented and fanatical of ideological propaganda, they remain subject to their will to survive, their instinct for self-preservation. Who is invariably and always the ultimate strategic winner of interpersonal relations - including in socio-political. Every tolerance has its inaccessible boundaries - and these are the limits of life, of its withdrawal, its self-preservation from death. Which is fueled by Kim Jong-un ‘s nuclear charges.
For me, there is no doubt that the daily threats to the United States are not incomprehensible that he will not devote himself to the use of his lethal weapons against the West. Not in the name of some abstract ideals of a new world order and justice, not to impose the principles of a new class-party morality in which communism in Korea can’t believe but in the defense of his absolute power in which he is caught life and death.
Whoever thinks that with a massive rocket hit, the United States can immediately drink North Korea and solve the problem in just a few days, thinks wrong. The decision is far from simple - neither political nor military, nor moral. There is no doubt that America's nuclear warp power is incomparably more powerful than that in North Korea that in a nuclear conflict it will defeat the United States. There are, however, conflicts in which each victory is ultimately a pyramid-conflict, of which the most undisputed winners come out a bit or a lot of defeat: not only morally. These are, above all, conflicts with weapons of mass destruction. Which, striking, do not make a difference between Democrats and anti-democrats, between righteous and unjust causes, between aggressors and defenders.
This has its inexorable practical parameters. No matter how precise it is to develop the US missile defense, it is not a perfection. This not only knows the Pentagon - Pyongyang also knows. Of the hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of the nuclear missiles that Kim Jong-un has at his disposal, it's enough to break through an American missile shield, and this is not ruled out in order to turn a future American military victory into a pyramid. Doubts that in the meantime North Korea has long-range missile vehicles that can also penetrate the United States. This places Washington ahead of nightmarish prospects. Even more threatened are Seoul and Tokyo, which are under the nose of Pyongyang. In addition Kim Jong-un's regime has deployed thousands of conventional artillery units on South Korea's border with Seoul. These long range guns are mobile and their location can be very difficult to locate. In fact, it is not possible to completely eliminate them with a single military strike, although it is massive. Radiation does not know geographic and political boundaries. So, along with military tactics, the problem also has moral dimensions, dictated above all by the inevitable victims of the civilian population on both sides of the front line.
All these concerns raise the issue of the guilt and responsibility of the global society, which allows nuclear weapons and the overturning of the regime in Korea. Why did the outside world not take the necessary preventive measures in time, why we allow this madness? It is easy to blame the most powerful world powers - the United States and NATO. As it’s easy also it’s unfair. The West could have prevented the modernization of the North Korean army years ago, but only with the force of arms - peacefully, through the numerous diplomatic steps and economic sanctions of the free world, this has not happened. A military strike before a dozen years, however, will face the West against the difficult moral alternatives that have already been said. The ambivalent, contradictory and hypocritical attitude of Russia and China to despot Kim Chung Wen bears the main responsibility for the military rise of the most devastating regime under the sun. The naked truth is that China secretly nurtured the economically defunct North Korea while Russia supplied it with modern military technology - even more secretive, even more hidden from the outside world. In front of which the Kremlin and Beijing officially criticized the aggression of Pyongyang with half-mouth and shameful shame. What interest Russia and China have in maintaining such a murderous and dangerous machine for themselves in the region is the subject of another forthcoming commentary. My goal at the moment is simply to name the culprits for the most dangerous for our civilization conflict. With the thin, with the desperate hope that any treatment begins with a diagnosis. Which, unfortunately, is only a prerequisite - not a guarantee - for healing.
