Japan and South Korea: America's 'Shock Brigades'

 

What is really behind the escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula? According to this commetary from North Korea’s government-run Korean Central News Agency, the U.S. is orchestrating the conflict to strengthen its hegemonic alliance with South Korea and Japan.

North Korea – Korean Central News Agency – Original Article (English)

Pyongyang: The politico-military situation on the Korean Peninsula that was driven to the brink of war this year, is arousing the concern of the international community. The U.S. is entirely to blame for these alarming developments, as it has used the peninsula to pursue its strategy to dominate East Asia.

 

Feeling unsettled about rapid changes in the economic and military balance in the new century, the U.S. has styled itself as an “Asia-Pacific state” and strengthened its “military cooperation” with several Asian countries. It has also raised the military pressure on China, Russia and other “potential rivals.”

 

The U.S. has focused its efforts on shaping a triangular military alliance, combining the U.S., Japan and south Korea, to maintain its hegemony in the Asia-Pacific. By escalating the situation on the peninsula this year, the U.S. has tested that alliance.

 

[Editor’s Note: The North Korean press doesn't capitalize the “S” in South Korea, implying that it is not an independent nation].

 

Politically, economically and militarily, America has strengthened the U.S.-Japan, U.S.-south Korea and south Korean-Japan “strategic partnerships.” Their joint actions included the study of “defense,” and “contingency” strategies, and military exercises. It then orchestrated the sinking of the Cheonan and the Yeonpyeong Island conflict, using them as an opportunity to step up the formation of this alliance. These three countries demonstrated unprecedented cooperation in these incidents and employed every means and method possible to escalate the conflict.

Japan and south Korea are acting as shock troops for realizing America's strategy of aggression. The alliance is now operational and has all the appearance of being a collective military bloc.

 

The U.S. recently boasted that it would “ensure the "security of south Korea by providing it with a nuclear umbrella,” and that it would offer all types of ultra-modern military hardware to modernize south Korea's armed forces.

America also seeks to turn Japan into a more dependable bridgehead for its forces within the framework of this triangular military alliance. The number of fighter-bombers on the U.S. base in Okinawa is steadily rising, while Sasebo and other Japanese ports are being turned into U.S. bases. Under the patronage of the United States, Japan has spent a huge sum to acquire the latest in military aircraft, ground-to-air missiles and all types of warships and tanks.

 

America is kick-starting this triangular military alliance, billed as an “anti-communist crusade,” the creation of which it has long been arranging with NATO. This is a grave and aggressive action, and is quite contrary to the global trend toward peace.

 

If it wants peace and stability, the international community should accept that it needs to foil America's attempts to form aggressive alliances.
