Japan’s Asahi Shimbun reports that South Korea plans a drastic shift in defense strategy that allows it to carry out pre-emptive strikes against the North and gain direct command of its forces from the US as soon as possible.
The Japanese newspaper says the proposed strategic changes were contained in a South Korean Defense Ministry report submitted to the National Assembly on October 12. The report summarizes the ministry’s plan to draw up new defense strategy guidelines in December.
If it goes into effect, the new strategy would permit South Korea to pre-emptively attack enemy bases at the first sign of a possible missile launch. An attack on North Korean territory would also be made as soon as Pyongyang made the first move.
Defense officials say the concept is to replace the country’s current defensive strategy with an offensive one that would lead to military victory at minimum cost. South Korea’s current guidelines call for a counter attack after an initial North Korean attack has been blunted.
It isn’t known, however, how the US will react to the proposal. Current joint-military policy calls for all South Korean forces to be under US command in hostilities involving North Korea.
Seoul would presumably still seek US permission before moving independently in the field. The defense ministry report noted that South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo will meet with US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in Seoul on October 28.
If war breaks out that war turns into neuclear war ending the lives of half of the intire world .The first strke by each countries of Japan South Korea and North KOrea can witness these three counties must turn into ashes.It shall be a great mistake on the part of any country to understimate a communist country.
Ok, just let the north know your plans. So it will be a total surprise to them. Sounds like cheap fake news to me.
No one can consider victory, that would be surpsing to consider yourself safe on break out of nuclear war
Propaganda by the U.S over the past years have downplayed the striking force and let the world believed that the people of North Korea were dying due to lack of food. Now let’s face the fact that the North Korean Army is mentally stronger than the Chinese soldiers. They will get into the Chinese mainland and control vast extension of territory. With this scenario what will the Chinese Communist Army do then ? The impossible scenario of a coup in China for an Alliance with North Korea avers not to be impossible ? Definitely North Korea with Nuclear Power is a big threat to the world. The timing may not be now but their agenda is clear. The only way is to bring North Korea under the authority of China. The time is now and later it will be too late. The US going at war with North Korea will create a cacophony.
Philip Sabuni the North Korean has perfected the underground city that could sustained for years in case of nuclear fallout.this was substantially perfected with the help of the people’s republic of China’s technology and Americans are very aware of this that’s why they have the hesitation to attack north kore
