South Korea held a large -scale national military daily parade ceremony on October 1.This ritual is like a boulder investing in geopolitical lakes, stirring waves.South Korea's most powerful missiles, at the same time issued a strong warning of North Korea.This series of actions not only attracted great attention in the Peninsula area, but also set off a new wave on the international stage.
South Korea's military display is large-scale, about 340 military equipment and weapons appeared at the ceremony, the most notable of which is the Xuanwu-5 ballistic missile.Observer said that the missile was able to carry a 8 -ton conventional warhead, which has the power to penetrate the surface and destroy the North Korean underground bunker.This is the first time South Korea has disclosed the missile, and the intention behind it is self -evident.South Korea tries to convey a clear signal to North Korea and the international community by showing strong military power: South Korea has the ability to defend itself, and it will not be able to proclaim a potential threat to North Korea.
South Korean President Yin Xiyue's speech at the ceremony is even more tough.He warned that if North Korea tried to use nuclear weapons, his regime would collapse, "that day will be the doomsday of the North Korean regime."Yin Xiyue also emphasized that the North Korean regime must abandon nuclear weapons to protect their fantasies.Such words have undoubtedly pushed the situation on the peninsula to a more tense edge.
South Korea's series of moves are not unprecedented.In recent years, North Korea has conducted a series of provocative missiles and threatened to use nuclear weapons in the potential conflict with South Korea and the United States.Last month, after North Korea announced the nuclear plan, it also showed the secret photos of uranium concentrated facilities, which further exacerbated the tension in the region.South Korea feels tremendous pressure, and it is not difficult to understand to take more powerful measures to deal with North Korea's nuclear threat.
From a geopolitical perspective, South Korea's military display and tough attitude towards North Korea are also closely related to the strategic layout of the United States.Since the conservative Yin Xiyue took office, South Korea has adopted stronger measures to consolidate military alliances with the United States and improves three -sided security cooperation in Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo.The United States sent a B-1B bomber for remote flight at the ceremony, obviously showing its security commitment to Asian allies.This close military cooperation relationship is to deal with North Korea's nuclear threat, and on the other hand, it is also an important means for the United States to maintain a strategic influence in the Asia -Pacific region.
For North Korea, South Korea's military display and tough warnings are undoubtedly a provocation.The deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense, Kim Kang, criticized the United States to temporarily deploy strong military assets in South Korea and vowed to respond strongly.He threatened to strengthen North Korea's "powerful war deterrence", which obviously refers to nuclear ability and adopted unprepared measures to exacerbate concerns about the security of the United States.Observer believes that North Korea may consider shooting an intercontinental ballistic missile that can hit the United States to show military strength and countermeasures against the United States.
In this intense geopolitical game, the attitude of the international community is crucial.On the one hand, the international community generally calls on the Korean Peninsula to achieve no nuclearization and resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiations.On the other hand, the international community also expressed concern about military operations in South Korea and the United States, and worried that these actions would further exacerbate regional tensions and even caused conflicts.
In general, South Korea's military display and tough attitude towards North Korea, and North Korea's response reflect the tension and complexity of the situation on the peninsula.In the current situation, all parties should maintain restraint to avoid taking further provocations, resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiations, and achieve peace and stability of the peninsula.Only in this way can we contribute to the interests of all parties and the peace and development of regions and the world.
The future of the situation in the peninsula is full of uncertainty.But it is certain that all parties need to deal with problems with a more rational and pragmatic attitude to avoid conflicts.At the same time, the international community should continue to play a positive role to promote the achievement of no denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, creating a good environment for regional peace and stability.
