Kim Warns North Korea Could Use Nuclear Weapons Precautionarily

Kim expressed “firm will” to continue to develop its nuclear weapons, so that it could “preventively and diligently limit and thwart all dangerous efforts and threatening moves, including the ever-escalating nuclear threat if needed by enemy forces.” The Central News Agency said on Saturday. The KCNA said Kim called on his military officials to praise their work during Monday’s parade, in which the North unveiled its largest weapons arsenal, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, which could possibly reach USA. The North has also launched a variety of short-range solid-fuel rockets designed to be launched by land-based vehicles or submarines, which pose a growing threat to South Korea and Japan. The KCNA did not say when Kim met with the military. The parade for the 90th anniversary of the North Korean military took place as Kim revived the nuclear conflict with the aim of forcing the United States to accept the idea of ​​his country as a nuclear power and lift ambitious economic sanctions. Speaking to thousands of soldiers and spectators who mobilized for the parade, Kim promised to deploy his nuclear forces at the “fastest possible speed” and threatened to use them if provoked. He said his nuclear weapons “will never be limited to a single combat deterrent mission” in situations where the North faces external threats to its “fundamental interests”. Kim’s comments suggest he will continue a provocative course in arms testing to ease pressure on Washington and Seoul. South Korea will inaugurate a new Conservative government in May that could adopt a tougher line on Pyongyang, following outpouring policies of outgoing Liberal President Moon Jae-in that yielded little results. The story goes on Kim’s threat to use its nuclear powers to protect his country’s ambiguously defined “fundamental interests” could be a harbinger of a escalating nuclear dogma that could be a major concern for South Korea, Japan and the United States. specialists. North Korea has carried out 13 weapons launches so far this year, including the first full-range ICBM test since 2017, and Kim is taking advantage of a favorable environment to advance its weapons program as the UN Security Council remains fragmented and fragmented. Russia’s war in Ukraine. There are also indications that North Korea is rebuilding tunnels in a nuclear test field that was last active in 2017. Some experts say the North may try to conduct a new test sometime between the swearing-in of South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk. Yeol on May 10 and his scheduled meeting with US President Joe Biden on May 21 to maximize his political impact. State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter said the United States was aware of reports that North Korea might be preparing to conduct a nuclear test, which it said would be deeply destabilizing for the region and undermine global non-proliferation. “We urge the DRC to refrain from further destabilizing activity and instead start a serious and lasting dialogue,” she said, referring to North Korea as the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”. Kim’s recent remarks followed a fiery statement released by his powerful sister earlier this month, in which he blamed the South Korean defense minister for spreading preemptive strikes against the north. She said her country’s nuclear forces would destroy conventional southern forces if provoked. Yoon, during his campaign, also spoke about strengthening the capabilities of preventive attack and missile defense of the South. He also vowed to strengthen South Korea’s defense in conjunction with its alliance with the United States. While Kim’s ICBM collection has garnered much international attention, North Korea from 2019 is also expanding its arsenal of short-range solid-fuel missiles threatening South Korea. The North describes some of these missiles as “regular” weapons, which experts say pose a threat to their armaments with smaller battlefield nuclear bombs and their precautionary use during conventional warfare to weaken South Korea’s most powerful conventional forces. and the United States. About 28,500 US troops are stationed in the South. North Korea may use its next nuclear test to claim that it has acquired the capability to build a small nuclear warhead to fit into these missiles or other weapons it has recently tested, including a supposed supersonic missile and a large cruise missile. , say analysts. Smaller heads would also be needed to pursue the North for a multi-head ICBM. “Solid-fuel rockets are easier to hide, move, and launch faster, making them less vulnerable to a pre-emptive strike,” said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. “Combined with ambitions for tactical nuclear warheads, submarine-based launch capabilities and more sophisticated ICBMs, Pyongyang does not just want to prevent an attack. “His goals are to overtake South Korea in an arms race and force the United States to reduce sanctions and security cooperation with Seoul.” Nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang have stalled since 2019 over disagreements over a possible easing of US-led sanctions in exchange for North Korea’s disarmament steps. Kim has insisted on his goals of simultaneously developing nuclear weapons and the country’s miserable economy in the face of international pressure and has shown no willingness to fully hand over a nuclear arsenal that he sees as his greatest guarantee of survival.
