In the case of North Korea's successive launching missiles, the South Korean government decided to terminate the Korean -Japanese Military Intelligence Protection Agreement (GSOMIA) regardless of the persuasion of the United States and Japan, which led to a crack in the South Korean and American cooperation system and the Korean and American alliances that supported South Korea's security.
Regardless of whether it is actually useful or not, the Korean -Japanese military intelligence intelligence protection agreement is a symbolic existence of South Korea, the United States and Japan's three sides of security cooperation.Regardless of the opposition of security experts, the government insisted on the end of this agreement because of the contradiction with Japan, which is tantamount to breaking hands and feet.
National Security Consultant John Middot; Bolton and National Defense Minister Madotot; Espa and other senior officials have recently emphasized the importance of renewing the signing of the Korean and Japanese military information protection agreement, but the Korean government still makes this one against Korea and the United States.None of the three parties have no benefit decision.In this case, the U.S. government did not accuse South Korea in general, but directly named the Wen Zaiyin government, saying that it expressed strong concerns and disappointment on the practice of not extending the Korean -Japanese military intelligence intelligence protection agreement, and made an unprecedented fierce response.
Regarding the decision to end the Korean and Japanese military intelligence intelligence protection agreement, Qingwatai said that the United States expressed its understanding of this decision.However, the US government sources said that it was not that the United States had protested (the South Korean Embassy in the United States) and Seoul.As allies, South Korea and the United States should not have such unpleasant situations.
People can't help doubt that if this situation continues, will the United States still regard South Korea as allies?From the perspective of the surrounding situation, once loses are trusted and reliable allies, South Korea will only become more and more isolated.The Trump administration requires allies to pay more money on the security issues. Japan, which is also a free democratic system and can work together in all aspects, has deteriorated to the extreme.
In addition, after South Korea and the United States' joint military exercises, North Korea continued to conduct a large -scale rocket launcher test.This is the ninth launch event in North Korea after May this year, and all flight objects fall within 380 kilometers.From the perspective of the range, these weapons are completely targeted at South Korea.
North Korea's threats are increasing. The Korean government, which should have strengthened the security alliance, has continuously made actions that harmed the relationship between the alliance.If you continue to make things such as termination of the Korean -Japanese military intelligence protection agreement, the United States may exclude South Korea to build a US -Japan security alliance system alone in addition to the security strategy of Northeast Asia.
South Korea must take measures to avoid becoming an outsider of the Security Bureau.The alliance system is the best solution to protect South Korea's security.To this end, the South Korean government must try to restore mutual trust with the Trump administration, while resolving contradictions with Japan as soon as possible.
