Seoul’s top envoy to Washington says that senior US officials have assured South Korea that military options against North Korea are a last resort.
Yonhap reports that Ambassador Ahn Ho-young told a visiting group of South Korean lawmakers on Monday that the message has been sent “consistently and convincingly.”
“Responsible government officials in the US note that while all options are on the table, there are many things that can be done before taking up military options,” Ahn was quoted by the South Korean official news agency as saying.
“The goal of the Trump administration’s sanctions and pressure campaign is ultimately a peaceful solution to the North Korean problem,” Ahn said. ” Whether it’s Defense Secretary James Mattis or Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, they all say the same thing,” he added.
US, Japan officials land in Seoul
In related news, Yonhap said that senior US and Japanese diplomats arrived in Seoul Tuesday to discuss diplomatic measures to tackle North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats.
“I am here to focus on our diplomatic efforts to address the issues that confront us about the DPRK,” Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan told reporters at Gimpo International Airport. He flew into Seoul from Japan after a two-day visit.
Sullivan was quoted earlier by Reuters as saying that the US is not ruling out the possibility of direct talks with North Korea.
Nobody can trust USA. They are thinking of creating a red flag incident, declare war, use tactical nukes and then command the South Korean military to invade North Korea. The mad US neocons are prepared to sacrifice Seoul and Guam in a war. A few American cities will also be nuked. Russia and China may join in to resist any invasion of North Korea and will be against any nukes being used close to their borders. Nobody can determine what will happen!
Control of South Korea military come under American command in time of war.
President Moon need to instruct its military to disregard any command from American command to start hostilities and quickly take back full control of South Korea military.
But USA has one and only one option: the military option. So, the military option is the first and also the last option for the American cannibals and murderers.
