As a hegemonist country, the United States has always acted on anyone who disagrees.
Back then, Saddam Hussein launched a provocation against the United States, which affected the interests of the United States, and the United States was furious and gathered heavy troops to launch the Gulf War that shocked the world, directly overthrowing Saddam's regime.
The U.S. military also took advantage of this to show its strong muscles to the world, and Gaddafi has always been intolerable to Western countries, led by the United States, several Western countries launched an attack on Gaddafi at the same time, and finally Gaddafi was also destroyed in the artillery.
However, the DPRK, which has always taken a tough attitude towards the United States, has made the United States helpless, and in terms of comprehensive national strength, the DPRK is certainly far inferior to the United States, so why has the DPRK been tough on the United States until now?
What kind of confidence does it have?
In recent years, North Korea has frequently appeared on the international stage due to the improvement of its national strength.
Its hard-line foreign style has also made all countries look up to North Korea.
As far as the United States is concerned, the fewer countries in the world possess nuclear missiles, the better, and only in this way will the United States be able to better exercise hegemony in the world.
The range of the missiles developed by the DPRK is even more intriguing, and some military experts say that the strike range of the DPRK's nuclear missiles can cover the entire United States.
In addition to the range, its power should not be underestimated.
Although North Korea's economic strength is lagging behind, its military level can be ranked among the world's military rankings.
When the DPRK's nuclear missiles were first successfully developed, Japan was the first to sit still, and Japan protested to the DPRK on many occasions, holding that the DPRK's nuclear missiles had endangered Japan's homeland security.
As a matter of fact, it is the United States that is behind the manipulation of Japan's protests.
The United States is accustomed to being the driving force behind the scenes, and whether it is starting a war or provoking public opinion, it will first find a loyal younger brother to be its spokesperson, which is a well-known thing. The wars against Iraq and Libya were actually US attacks against Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi.
As far as the United States is concerned, the attitude of its leaders Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi toward the United States has seriously threatened its interests, and in order to defend its own interests, the United States has brazenly expanded the war.
But this war is not just, and even if Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi are at fault, it will not be the turn of the United States to send troops to attack.
At its root, such an act of the United States is undoubtedly interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
Libya and Iraq are both sovereign countries, and the United States' brazen attack on them and the overthrow of a country's regime is a very hegemonic act that has aroused the world's public outrage, and this is what the United States has always done.
As a result, most countries in the world do not have a good impression of this tyrannical bully and are deeply defensive.
The United States is not simply afraid of the DPRK's nuclear weapons, but is even more afraid of the DPRK's neighbor China, because after all, the mainland taught the United States too deep a lesson back then.
When the United States launched the Korean War, its intention was to control Korea and at the same time threaten the security of New China.
At that time, the United States believed that New China had just emerged from the smoke of war and would certainly not send troops to aid Korea.
However, the United States made a big mistake, and New China resolutely sent troops to aid the DPRK, and on the Korean battlefield, the volunteers beat the United Nations forces led by the US army, and in the end the US troops had to withdraw beyond the 38th parallel.
This war made the whole world awe of the new Chinese government, and the United States no longer dared to underestimate China since the Korean War.
In view of the lessons of history, the United States no longer dares to show its teeth and claws at the doorstep of New China.
At that time, New China had just been founded, and it was able to beat the US military, armed to the teeth, back beyond the 38th parallel.
Now that China is a world power, the United States understands that if it starts a Korean War, the American military will not only be traumatized beyond the 38th parallel.
Another reason is the rise in North Korea's military strength, which now has nuclear weapons and a tough leader.
The United States understands that if it attacks the DPRK and forces the DPRK to use nuclear weapons in a hurry, the United States will not be able to gain the slightest benefit.
Needless to say, the horror of nuclear weapons is that countries like the United States are also afraid of using nuclear weapons in war.
The six-year period, from 2000 to 2006, was the most tense period between North Korea and the United States.
At that time, the two countries had torn their faces, and in diplomatic occasions, diplomats from both sides met to demonstrate to each other.
The DPRK is not afraid of the US threat at all, and its attitude is that it will fight as long as it wants, and will not be verbose. In particular, after North Korea began to develop nuclear weapons, the United States found a reason to impose sanctions on it as it saw fit.
But North Korea and the United States went back and forth for three years before finally developing their own atomic bomb, and the United States' plan to sanction North Korea by military force ultimately failed.
The main reason why the United States is helpless against the DPRK is that the United States is quite jealous of the DPRK's nuclear weapons, after all, no matter how much the United States pursues hegemonism, it does not want to end up killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of its own weapons.
