Washington is playing a very dangerous game along with its clients in Seoul in the Korean Peninsula without realizing that Pyongyang is determined and has the capability to not just confront such provocative measures but take the battle to the enemy’s camp if needed.

Almost helpless, if not defeated, in the war into which NATO has pushed Ukraine against Russia, a frustrated US is trying to ignite the flames of an unwarranted military conflict perilously close to the eastern borders of China and Russia, in a miscalculated move to pressure Moscow and also intimidate Beijing – whose power in all fields including defence, technology, and global political clout is rapidly growing.

Even American analysts are alarmed at the recklessness of the Joe Biden regime which might drag the country into a disaster that could prove suicidal.

It is clear the US cannot afford the costs of a war that could easily turn nuclear in view of the successful ICBM tests of North Korea which may have also developed miniaturized nuclear warheads for precision strikes.

Pyongyang’s firing of missile after ballistic missile cannot be dismissed as a joke or a bluff. Kim Jong Un is serious when he says his country is fully prepared for the “real war” which the US might impose on his country, with its provocative war games south of the 38th Parallel, where currently 28,500 American troops are stationed, along with some of the most advanced aircraft and military hardware.

This is indeed a threat to the security of North Korea, rather than any danger to the so-called American interests in the region.

As a result the tit-for-tat scenario shows no signs of de-escalation, as both sides claim they are conducting defensive actions in the face of aggressive adversaries and have pledged to continue these operations.

It seems the US has not learned lessons from its blunders of the recent past and the very idea of browbeating what it thinks to be an isolated and small communist state could badly boomerang. 

If Washington really wants peace and stability in the region then it should withdraw not just its occupation troops from South Koreas but also from Japan.

Only a détente or more properly brotherly talks between the two estranged Koreas can remove the misunderstandings and bring peace to the region, instead of the illegal and inhuman sanctions the sadistic Americans impose on independent countries.

If Biden thinks that he can get away with playing brinkmanship in East Asia, he is completely out of his wits. One wrong step and the real war and uncontrollable war might start.

Moreover, if he thinks by escalation of the situation in the Korean Peninsula, he might scare both China and Russia, he is totally wrong.

Neither Beijing will concede anything, anywhere to Washington nor will Moscow let go of the prime advantage it holds in NATO’s war in Ukraine.
