Article of the sociologist, researcher and political analyst Enrique Muñoz Gamarra Peru on the sinking of Cheonan in March, which helps us to understand the key policies of the conflicts taking place between Korea North and South Korea recently.
There is a very strong global campaign of vilification against the DPRK. The Western press has made common cause to accuse this country of what is happening now in the Korean peninsula. All undeterred report that was a North Korean torpedo that sank the sloop of war South Korea. Stirring and in an incredible way of aggression against this country. Repeat it a thousand times.
But here are the facts:
What happened was the collapse of a sloop of war anti-submarine warfare specialist named Cheonan South Korea (Heavenly Peace) on March 26, 2010 at 9:22 hours of the night. Was an event that occurred at a time when U.S. naval forces and South Korean military drilled in the southern part of the island Baengnyeong located in the western sea of \u200b\u200bthe DPRK., And, indeed, an island claimed by the his country and only 20 kilometers of its territory. Exercises military referred to as "Foal Eagle" should have been completed, according to the parties on 18 March of the current mutual convenience but have been extended until 30th of that month. It is said that in fact killed 46 soldiers.
nuclear submarine sinking of a U.S. Navy on the same stage of these facts . This news was completely silenced in the U.S. and South Korea. On this I recommend reading the following article: "Who sank the warship Cheonan South Korea? The destabilization of the Korean peninsula. A new stage in the Korean War by the United States "(in English). Author: Tanaka Sakai. News posted on May 27, 2010, in: Global Research. Source: The Journal of Asia-Pacific -24-05-2010. In fact, in the very moment that sank the submarine warfare corvette Cheonan South Korea also at that very moment a nuclear submarine ran aground in the U.S. on some rocks in an area called Yongteurim located in the southern part of the island where exactly were performed Baengnyeong these military operations.
A nuclear submarine loaded with nuclear warheads . Of course, the nuclear submarine was loaded with nuclear warheads and consequently a major concern of U.S. forces would have been the rescue of those nuclear warheads and that is why the delay of almost two months to present research evidence to international public opinion (March 26 sinking of Cheonan and May 20 results of international research) (1).
South Korea's refusal to accept the presence of researchers from the DPRK . South Korea has flatly refused to admit the scene with a team of experts and researchers from the DPRK. Your reasons should be obvious.
And, as was intended, after these events grew severe accusations against the DPRK . Now all the western media is engaged in this situation. What have not said to the DPRK? They have said that is a pariah, who lives on international aid, which There are thousands of children in dire condition, etc. etc. But they have said that there are children begging on the streets or alcoholics or drug addicts much less unemployment as seen in the U.S. and other capitalist countries. In particular, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has been very hard on their findings concerning this fact. To the extent that the DPRK has made it known that does not make any negotiations while the government in charge of this President. Moreover, it is understood that this helps the positions of Lee Myung-bak in the next country's election fray.
Intense U.S. diplomatic activity . In fact it has seen Hillary Clinton's chief diplomat U.S., on the move to Seoul, Beijing and Moscow, of course, fueling the war. The U.S. desire is to engage these countries on a possible military escalation against the DPRK, and in this the western press fulfill its role.
DPRK accuses U.S. of arms smuggling . U.S. says North Korea would be involved in smuggling arms to Iran, Syria and Lebanon. It also involves Russia and China to maintain good diplomatic relations, trade and military ties with these countries. From there just set up your troubles in certain "strategic dialogue" with both superpowers. First with Russia (2), then with China, in this case, the so-called "strategic dialogue" ended May 25, 2010 (3). But all of them have been failures, in itself, would not have found specific points of convergence because they simply either take their own perspectives about the future.
Indeed, Russia and China have perspectives that differ fundamentally with U.S. . In this framework through its Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has informed (4), that in the Iranian case and after such strategic talks, which supports Iran's nuclear deal with Brazil and Turkey, torpedoed by the way, by the U.S.. For its part China has asked, that even after his talks with U.S. strategic, precise details about the plan that this country has to facilitate exports of high technology (5), also has said the yuan's exchange rate is subject to the requirements China's own (6).
UN also involved in this against the DPRK . Indeed the UN has accused the DPRK of exporting nuclear technology to Iran, Syria and Burma (7). In turn, Ban Ki-moon has expressly requested the Security Council this organization to take action against the DPRK (8). This is unfortunate case of the statements coming from the head of the largest organ in the world. South Korean Response
. Then, on 24 May the Republic of Korea has frozen its trade with the DPRK has also announced a ban on the passage of ships of the DPRK by their maritime waters, the use of the right to self defense and raise your complaint the Security Council of the United Nations Organization (UNO). And, immediately continued, as expected, with their provocations now under new anti-submarine naval exercises in the company of the U.S. (9).
And the response of the DPRK has not been kept waiting . In fact the DPRK has declared May 25 to cancel the non-aggression pact to cease the North-South cooperation, close the Advisory Bureau of bilateral economic cooperation in the Kaesong industrial zone, develop a counteroffensive on the psychological war waged against South Korea Pyongyang, and finally, to prohibit the passage of aircraft and boats from the south by the waters and airspace their territory (10).
The bottom line:
In principle, the issue of the Korean peninsula is not any dispute. Eye with this. It is a matter that involves necessary and obligatory in Russia and China. This is concrete but these countries do not admit it publicly. It is vital for the existence of two superpowers. This is so even when there are irreconcilable contradictions between administrations, Russian Chinese, with the revolutionary leadership of the DPRK. The Korean peninsula is the most militarized region in the world even greater proportion than the Persian Gulf and Eurasia. World geopolitics has led to this situation. Therefore, one can say that late outcomes clashes between East and West will probably be defined in this region. So of course it is.
Therefore, and according to the above, the U.S. is not able to enter this region. Doing so would involve one or another way to Russia and China. And, the response of the DPRK would, undoubtedly, a nuclear response, rather than conventional, just on the same terms that raise both the U.S. and reach the cities of the DPRK and U.S. cities. That is very clear. Still
provocations since 1953 Americans have been constant in this region. U.S. has paid special attention to its relations with South Korea. Has been up there all the necessary weapons to destabilize the region. For years there remains a number of their nuclear weapons in times when its nuclear submarines, and in others in their land bases. Consequently, the process of militarization in this region has been permanent.
But as has provoked also received their deserved. For example remember what happened in 1983 when the Boeing 747 with 269 passengers from South Korea that had been introduced into the airspace of the former USSR, Soviet fighters had no contemplation of any kind and that Boeing was down mainly because he was found aircraft in the company of U.S. spy (11). This was unfortunate but it was the immediate reaction to provocation. Occurred under the harsh Cold War when both superpowers were involved in those years.
U.S. is now mired in the Iranian case. All his militancy has been curbed, and, from one moment to another, following the summit between Iran and Brazil and Turkey. A true triumph even momentary, of Iranian foreign policy (12).
also is mired in its war of aggression in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Its armed forces are unable to stabilize this region. It is said that in Afghanistan U.S. troops have outnumbered the troops in the peak of the war were stationed in iraq. The attacks on defenseless people are getting very bloody. The real strength achieved breakthroughs in their levels of organization against foreign occupation and the Taliban option. Given this and publicly spoken of the U.S. administration agreements with the Taliban as they did before.
Then the shift of global power from west to east is real. The geopolitical changes in our previous articles we have held have full effect. In fact the U.S. is being shifted in important regions of the planet. In Southeast Asia it is very noticeable. ASEAN there are bound quite important role, without doubt, the new options presented by China in this region, especially when it comes to productive investment. Beyond
in Japan there exists some significant changes. Their products are oriented elites also to the ASEAN. Business with the U.S. gradually recede into the background. Then
U.S. is desperate regroup their allies in the region. In fact the U.S. is desperate to reunite their allies in the region so come down especially after the exacerbation of the Great Depression today. These actions triggered by pressure from the U.S. consortia that are affected by the new changes that are occurring in the field of economics and geopolitics.
Some American achievements behind these provocations. The U.S. has managed, for example, in Japan, the retreat of the positions of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama regarding the evacuation of U.S. naval bases. It is said that ultimately would have reached an important agreement between Hatoyama administration and the authorities of the White House for U.S. troops, consisting of approximately 47.000 troops, stationed in Okinawa to continue despite protests of the citizens of this island. So far one of the leaders of the SDP (Social Democratic Party) has said that the "Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama not qualified to be leader of Japan" (13). The U.S. also committed to this country exacerbate tensions with the DPRK, this is registered, for example, in the Japanese parliament approved a law that "allows the Coast Guard at sea to inspect ships suspected of carrying weapons or technology North Korea's nuclear " (14).
Pressure on South Korean elites. U.S. pressure also exerts a very hard against these elites. The aim is to curb the impulses of these elites into the ASEAN. In addition, forcing South Korean forces will exercise tighter control over the alleged trafficking of arms of the DPRK, especially at correcting the flaws of surveillance systems implemented in this region by U.S. forces (15).
And, as always, we await the coming world events.
