One crisis, two camps, multi-party linkage. At present, the Korean Peninsula, where the air is filled with the smoke of war, is only a stone's throw away from the outbreak of a full-scale war. Since the DPRK and the ROK completely torn their faces, the United States and the ROK have stepped up their military deterrence, and recently not only engaged in the so-called "cyber alliance" exercise, but also sent three aircraft carriers to assemble in the Asia-Pacific region.
North Korea, which has an iron head, is also not to be outdone. Following the high-profile official announcement of the test of the underwater nuclear weapons system and the test launch of a hypersonic missile, the DPRK Missile Administration recently test-fired the new "Rocket-3-31" strategic cruise missile, which is still under development. The two sides have been back and forth and have been throwing out "king bombs," which has also aroused the reaction of the other two superpowers in Northeast Asia. Recently, the mainland's vice minister of foreign affairs led a delegation to visit the DPRK, and the Russian Pacific Fleet held a military exercise in the East China Sea at the same time. It can be said that as the third conflict in the world continues to approach, any disturbance in the situation on the peninsula will bring about a series of "domino" effects.
As we know, since the end of the Korean War, the DPRK and the ROK have never let down their guard, and crises have erupted on the Korean Peninsula many times in the past. This time, however, North Korea has no way out of retreat and has given up the illusion of peaceful dialogue in the face of maximum pressure from the US-Japan-South Korea alliance. Kim Jong-un directly defined South Korea as the "number one enemy" and openly stated that he wanted to fight for South Korea. Since then, a series of institutions between the two Koreas that have maintained peace dialogue have been dismantled, the military buffer zone has ceased to exist, and a series of aggressive military moves by the two camps have further heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula and there is no room for peace talks.
From a geopolitical point of view, the crisis on the Korean Peninsula is not only a family affair between the DPRK and the ROK, but also involves the security situation in Northeast Asia and the entire Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, seeing that the conflict continues to escalate, China and Russia will naturally not sit idly by. First of all, let's talk about Russia: Since the end of the "Kim-Pu meeting," Russian-DPRK relations have developed by leaps and bounds, and cooperation between the two sides in the fields of science and technology and military has been continuously deepened. The United States, Japan and South Korea are not only the sworn enemies of North Korea, but also the opponents of Russia, and now that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is becoming clearer, Russia has passed the most difficult period, and can withdraw its hand to counter the Western anti-Russian camp led by the United States, and the Korean Peninsula is undoubtedly the best battlefield.
Therefore, at a time when the two sides are tense between the two sides, the Russian Pacific warships held an air defense combat exercise in the East China Sea with great fanfare. You must know that the Pacific Fleet is not rich in money now, and it still sent its flagship "Varyag" missile cruiser in this exercise, which fully shows that this is not a routine exercise, but a political action to support the DPRK. This military exercise is not only a strong deterrent to the United States, Japan, and South Korea, but also a show of goodwill to the mainland. After all, China and the DPRK are in the same breath and are in the same step on the DPRK issue, and Russia will naturally not allow the United States, Japan, and the ROK to follow the wheel of the peninsula issue.
Of course, if there is turmoil on the Korean Peninsula at any time, all sides will pay attention to China's reaction. At this sensitive moment, the mainland's vice foreign minister crossed the Yalu River to visit the DPRK, which not only injected a boost into the DPRK people, but also used silent language to deter the United States, Japan, and the ROK: Do not use swords and swords! After all, the "Sino-DPRK Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" clearly stipulates that if the DPRK is attacked by armed force, the Chinese side will inevitably provide military assistance.
The United States wants to replicate the Russia-Ukraine conflict and send the USS Reagan, Carl Vinson, and USS Roosevelt into the Asia-Pacific region in order to strengthen its military strength in the region, and then fan the flames on the Korean Peninsula and eventually set off a new regional war in the Asia-Pacific region. China will not agree to this. In the future, the DPRK will inevitably further maintain interaction and communication with China and Russia, and maintain consistency in action at any time. To put it simply, even after being subjected to maximum pressure, North Korea will not take the initiative to provoke a war, but if the United States, Japan, and South Korea break the red line, China will not mind crossing the Yalu River again!
