Korean nuclear threat

Further, the policymakers in the region are more concerned about the strategy to halt North Korean nuclear proliferation. The development of nuclear weapons especially the long-range nuclear missiles is growing fast directly overseen by the Korean leader, Kim Jong. Also, the Koreas’ rhetoric about its nuclear missiles has increasingly caused confrontations. The regime of Kim Jong-un looks stable superficially. However, several killings and arrests of perceived rivals and the escalating awareness by the North Korean people of the increasing participation in trade and outside events acts as an indicator of potential sporadic volatility. The Korean regime is determined to move from the minimal arsenal to more robust nuclear systems. The intentions of North Korea launching a robust nuclear program was evident in the first six months of the year 2017.

It did several test and launching of its nuclear missiles from February to July. Further, it tested its intermediate-range missile in February the same year and launched five scud extended range missiles. The latter can strike a wide range of Japanese geographical area. They include the obtaining of many usable nuclear warheads, a survivable and diverse arsenal and nuclear delivery systems that can reach CONUS. To be specific, North Korea is capable of holding at risk bases needed for force flow and warfighting. Further, it can clutch CONUS at risk directly, and launch widespread revenge against the USA and hold. Kim Jong-un's regime would ensure they achieve these goals to show that they are unclear superpowers. Currently, North Korea is using one of its long-term goal strategies in responding to South Korea and the USA.

The United States has also been involved in some plans and operations around the North Korean territory. The USA has relocated many of its forces, under logistical and political reasons in South Korea, condensing them into two large facilities from the many scattered ones before. The plan is more convenient in administrative processes for America. However, the move helpful to North Korea since they will have clear nuclear targets for the attack. North Korea has a large, accurate and reliable nuclear force. Some researchers have found out that within the next decade, North Korea will have capable nuclear forces. Therefore, any country willing to move into The North's territory without their knowledge, they need capabilities to neutralize any nuclear force. The countries likely to experience this problem are the USA and South Korea.

Therefore, they have to reestablish their military forces and with stronger means to achieve their goals. North Korea is still advancing its arsenal which could make the country more hazardous and less predictable in war crisis. From the view of the concerned regional countries, there is South Korea. Some lawmakers from North Korea have started calling for an independent nuclear check. The audit would include submarine-launched nuclear missiles to contest North Korea's looming SLBM efficiency (Toby, Sunggee and Tae). Recently, South Korea established a strategy to bombard protective attacks against nuclear bases of North Korea during war events. South Korea's desire is credible until their accelerating programs irritate North Korea threat impression. This action will further have a far-reaching impact on China.

Consequently, China will position more defenses against possible nuclear attacks especially in the Peninsula. Beijing uses the THAAD radar to observe its military operations. The heightened presence and actions of South Korea and the USA actions in the Peninsula may worry about Beijing. The activities include surveillance, expansion of intelligence operations, and increment of maritime operations and military presence. If Tokyo develops its own defensive or preemptive capabilities, it could have a tensed relationship with both China and South Korea. In summary, North Korea's rapid advancement of nuclear weapons is likely to cause a dangerous security relationship among the powers in the region. The U. S plays a critical role in these security relationships and the primary determinant in the North Korean second-order effects of its nuclear progress.
