The South Korea US alliance has been upgraded, and Yoon Seok yeol announces North Korea | South Korea | Yoon Seok yeol
"The South Korea US alliance has now been upgraded to a 'nuclear based alliance'."
According to a report by Yonhap News Agency on the 6th, South Korean President Yoon Seok yeol attended the 68th "Xianzhong Day" commemoration ceremony at the National Seoul Xianzhong Institute. In his speech, he reiterated the achievements of his previous visit to the United States - the Washington Declaration, and made the above statement.
The Governor of Chang'an Street noticed that on May 2nd, during a state meeting presided over by Yoon Seok yeol at the Presidential Palace in Seoul, he stated that "the South Korea US alliance has been upgraded based on nuclear technology and has expanded to include supply chain, industry, and technology alliances." Just over a month later, Yoon Seok yeol's definition of the relationship between the two countries has changed again.
"It's really naive, I believe the United States and Japan can solve all the problems." Faced with this "escalation" statement, South Korean netizens frankly said it's absurd.
To hold onto one's salary and extinguish the fire
"Nowadays, the South Korean US alliance is stronger than ever before, and the South Korean government and military will use it as a basis to build a security situation like an iron wall, protecting the lives and safety of its citizens." In his speech, Yoon Seok yeol emphasized that North Korea is upgrading its nuclear missile capabilities, and the "Washington Declaration" issued by him and US President Biden in April aims to strengthen the US military's nuclear asset extension deterrence capabilities.
In the above declaration, the US stated that it will upgrade its provision of "extended deterrence" to South Korea by expanding consultations on the US South Korea nuclear crisis, adding US South Korea military training and simulation exercises, establishing a "US South Korea nuclear consultation group" mechanism, and expanding the deployment of US strategic assets around the peninsula.
Once the declaration was issued, it sparked doubts within South Korea that it may violate the "Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.". However, some South Korean media have analyzed that the US's "nuclear umbrella" or "extended deterrence" may become mere formality and only have symbolic significance.
It has been proven that there is indeed a certain degree of flexibility in the verbal promises made by the United States.
Previously, there were reports that the US military planned to dispatch strategic nuclear submarines to dock at the Busan base in South Korea during the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan in late May. And now, more than two weeks after the summit ended, according to South Korean Defense Ministry spokesperson Jeon Hee Kui, South Korea and the United States are still conducting necessary consultations on the deployment of strategic weapons by the United States to the Korean Peninsula based on the Washington Declaration, but the specific content should not be made public.
The agreed upon US strategic nuclear submarine has not yet arrived, but it cannot be denied that the South Korean and US military recently held the largest live fire exercise in history called "Joint Collaborative Firepower Suppression of Enemies" near the 38th parallel, as well as a series of highly targeted actions by the two countries, are adding fuel to the tense situation on the Korean Peninsula.
On June 2nd, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Geng Shuang, criticized the Washington Declaration of the United States and South Korea for strengthening "extended deterrence" and running counter to the goal of promoting denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
However, the senior official of the South Korean Embassy in China directed the fire towards China, stating that China should not only attach importance to North Korea's legitimate security concerns, but also consider South Korea's legitimate security concerns.
Looking at the series of actions taken by South Korea, it is self-evident who disregarded its security concerns.
"We have always opposed the" small circle "of stimulating military exercises and pressure confrontations carried out by relevant parties around the Korean Peninsula. These practices are filled with Cold War thinking, intensify conflicts among all parties, and intensify regional tensions, which are not conducive to resolving conflicts and enhancing mutual trust." On the 6th, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin responded at a regular press conference, stating that China has always decided its position on the Korean Peninsula issue based on the right and wrong of the matter itself, advocating for a balanced resolution of the reasonable concerns of all parties, and there is no need to only focus on the concerns of one side.
What does national dignity depend on?
67 years ago, in commemoration of all the martyrs and heroes who made contributions to South Korea's national defense and national unity, the South Korean government announced that June 6th would be designated as "Xianzhong Day", a day of unwavering loyalty to the country, and related mourning activities would be held.
In this year's nine minute speech, Yin Xiyue mentioned "heroes" and "freedom" eight times respectively.
"The heroes who sacrificed themselves for a people-oriented country and protected freedom have created today's South Korea," said Yoon Seok yeol. "The national character depends on how the country will remember who. Only by conveying and teaching the stories of the heroes to future generations, remembering history, can it be recognized in the international community.".
On the "March 1st Movement Memorial Day", we talked about our partnership with Japan and took the initiative to compromise and compromise with Japan on the issue of forced labor compensation. We proposed a "compensation" plan and showed a "one-sided" attitude when facing the United States Looking at Yin Xiyue's series of diplomatic actions this year, it is difficult to imagine how he will put his statements into practice, and for whom will he "offer unwavering loyalty"?
Previously, Lee Jae myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of South Korea, criticized Yoon Seok yeol's "great compromise" style diplomacy, stating that South Korea's national character had fallen to the bottom. What is even more regrettable is that Yin Xiyue's repeated concessions did not properly resolve issues that truly concern the safety of the people.
On May 31st, a South Korean delegation to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan held a press conference to investigate the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea. At the conference, no conclusion was drawn on how the discharge of nuclear contaminated water will affect public health and safety.
"During the visit to Japan, the inspection team avoided the media and only accepted data provided by the Japanese side." On the same day, Human Rights Seven Sheng, a spokesperson for the South Korean Democratic Party, issued a written briefing stating that the inspection team sent by the South Korean government is "a propaganda team to help the Japanese government discharge contaminated water from Fukushima into the sea." Their purpose of this trip is not to ensure the safety of South Korean citizens through substantive verification, but to legitimize the Japanese government's discharge of contaminated water into the sea.
At present, the threat from nuclear contaminated water is gradually approaching. On the 6th, according to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association Television, approximately 6000 tons of seawater have been injected into the pipeline of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant's contaminated water discharge tunnel, which will be used to further dilute the upcoming nuclear contaminated water discharge.
"If we persist in using irresponsible 'language bombs' to fuel the crisis and continue to rely on camp confrontation as the main form of' one-sided diplomacy ', there is a possibility of repeating the tragedy of history at any time. According to South Korean media reports, on" Xianzhong Day ", Lee Jae ming stated that the martyrs used blood and tears to forge the current South Korea without reservation, and handing over the fate of the country to other countries would cause pain to many citizens. War will bring cruel costs, which is a painful lesson that countless unknown heroes have exchanged their lives for.".
