A Tale of Two Koreas

o On the divided Korean Peninsula since 1948

there have existed two Koreas, North and South

Korea. [NOKO and SOUKO or DP-RoK & RoK.]

o Both were recognized as sovereign states by

the UN in 1991, and ‘most’ countries of the

world have normal relations with both Korean

states.

o US and NOKO have verbal boxing matches.

NOKO spends greatly on modernizing arms and

‘w m d’ while keeping its people under strict

control. U S sanctions and pressure have sought a negotiating response from NOKO. But in vain.

Abnormal relations for more than six decades

After the Second World War, on August 15, 1945, Korea was liberated after 35 years of Japanese occupation.

But it was soon occupied by U S and Soviet forces, who took control of the southern and northern parts of the peninsula, respectively.

The Republic of Korea (ROK)—or South Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) were established in 1948.

Page 4: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

Abnormal relations for more than six decades

The occupation forces left the Peninsula in 1949, making Koreans independent but divided into two ideologically contrasting systems.

As the China, became communist in 1946, the event gave a great boost to North Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Il-sung started a Korean War to solve the problem of division by military means. The U.S. intervened in the civil war between the two Koreas. Eventually, two nations got recognition as belonging to two systems_ DP-RoK & RoK or NOKO & SOUKO.

NOKO: “I ain’t done that!!”

On March 26, 2010, the South Korean warship Cheonan, carrying 104 officers and crew onboard, sank in the waters between Baengnyeong Island and Daecheong Island in the Yellow Sea, when an unidentified explosion hit the rear of the ship, causing 46 deaths. The U.S. and South Korea immediately accused North Korea of attacking the warship with a submarine torpedo. This undoubtedly increased tension.

Happenings-2014-16

In 2014, after the U.S. and South Korea started the “Key

Resolve” joint military exercises on February 24, North

Korea repeatedly launched various types of missiles.

On May 20, 2015, North Korea issued a statement,

claiming that it has achieved a miniaturized and

diversified “nuclear strike capability.”

The situation further escalated in 2016. North Korea

conducted its fourth nuclear test on January 6.

Page 7: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

NOKO is now NU-NOKO-2017

To understand the Korean nuclear issue, one needs to trace back to the settlement of the Korean War—a war which in a legal sense has not yet ended.

In his State of the Union address in January 2002, the U.S. president Bush listed North Korea, along with Iran and Iraq, as one of the three states forming the “axis of evil.” On January 10, 2003, North Korea announced its formal withdrawal from the NPT.

Nuke Korea, R U Secure?

As of March 2017, North Korea had conducted five nuclear tests. The first occurred following the suspension of Six-Party Talks in 2006 due to the BDA issue and U.S. sanctions.

The other four tests all occurred after 2009.

The South Korean government would consider the introduction of the missile defense system known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).

Page 10: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

o U.S. and South Korean troops are expected to

kick off the annual Ulchi -Freedom Guardian

military exercises on Aug. 21.

o North Korea sees these exercises and larger ones

held every spring as a rehearsal for invasion.

o Getting Washington to halt them has long been

one of Pyongyang's demands.

o Tensions have risen since North Korea tested two

intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in July 2017.

Page 11: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

o North Korea has yet to back away from its biggest threat:

o A plan to lob missiles toward U.S. military bases on the

island of Guam that Pyongyang says should be ready for

leader Kim Jong Un to review anytime now.

o Will the tough-talking Trump feel compelled to take matters

into his own hands?

o Aug. 15 is the anniversary of the end of World War II in 1945 and

the Korean Peninsula's liberation from Japanese colonial rule.

o North Korea launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile,

for example, on July 4 — Independence Day in the United

States.

SOUKO warns US: Strike not NOKO now

SEOUL, 14, Aug. South Korea — Alarmed by President Trump’s recent threats to NOKO, President Moon Jae-in of SOUKO issued a rebuke to the U S on Tuesday, warning that any unilateral military action against the North over its nuclear weapons program would be intolerable.

“No one should be allowed to decide on a military action on the Korean Peninsula without SOUKOan agreement,” Mr. Moon said in a nationally televised speech.

Page 13: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

Bring NOKO to negotiation

In his speech on Tuesday [14 Aug], President Moon repeated his argument that sanctions and pressure alone would not deter North Korea from its nuclear pursuits, but he said war should not be an option. “The purpose of strong sanctions and pressure against North Korea is to bring it to the negotiating table, not to raise military tensions,” he said.

NORTH KOREAN MISSLE OVER JAPAN

AUG-30- 2017 North Korea fired a missile that flew

over Japan and landed in waters off the northern

region of Hokkaido early on Tuesday, South Korean

and Japanese officials said, marking a sharp

escalation of tensions on the Korean peninsula.

The test, which experts said appeared to have been

an intermediate-range Hwasong 12 missile, came as

U.S. and South Korean forces conduct annual military

drills on the peninsula, against which North Korea

strenuously objects.

Would they face "fire and fury" ? Is there a role for China? Or will Kim Jong-Un face assassination?

Page 15: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

North Korea fired what it said was a rocket carrying a

communications satellite into orbit over Japan in 2009.

The United States, Japan and South Korea considered that

launch to have been a ballistic missile test. Japan's Chief

Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the latest North

Korean missile fell into the sea 1,180 km (735 miles) east of

the Cape of Erimo on Hokkaido The Japanese military did not

attempt to shoot down the missile, which passed over Japanese

territory around 6:07 a.m. local time (2107 GMT).

Page 16: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

North Korea again asked the U.N. Security

Council to meet to discuss the ongoing joint

U.S.-South Korean military drills, according to a

letter released on Monday by the North Korean

mission to the United Nations.

The Aug. 25 letter to the Security Council and

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres from North

Korean U.N. Ambassador Ja Song Nam

described

the military exercises as a "grave threat" to the

Korean peninsula and international peace and

security.

Page 17: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

"It is the fair and square self-defensive right of the DPRK

to cope with reckless, aggressive war manoeuvres and

the U.S. would be wholly responsible for any catastrophic

consequences to be entailed from the result," Ja wrote,

using the initials of North Korea's official name, the

Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Similar previous requests have gone unanswered by the

15-member Security Council.

The 15-member U.N. Security Council unanimously

imposed new sanctions on North Korea in response to

the two July long-range missile launches.

Page 18: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

"It is the fair and square self-defensive right of

the DPRK to cope with reckless, aggressive war

manoeuvres and the U.S. would be wholly

responsible for any catastrophic consequences

to be entailed from the result,"

Ja wrote, using the initials of North Korea's

official name, the Democratic People's Republic

of Korea.

Page 19: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

Unpredictable as the situation is, some

potential flashpoints to watch for:

U.S. and SOUKO troops are expected to kick

off the annual Ulchi- Freedom Guardian military exercises on Aug. 21.

NOKO sees these exercises and larger ones held every spring as a rehearsal for invasion.

Getting U S to halt them is a Pyongyang's key demand, and it regularly stirs the pot around the time they're held.

Page 20: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

A bullish NOKO has warned the US it will be unable to avoid its "greatest disaster" if the secretive country is provoked.

North Korea announced the "perfect success" of a hydrogen bomb test. Earlier on Sunday, top diplomats from the US and South Korea discussed their joint response to the hydrogen bomb threat.

It comes as Theresa May urged world leaders to condemn Pyongyang as she hit out at the latest nuclear development.

Page 21: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

"North Korea is a rogue nation which has

become a great threat and embarrassment

to China, which is trying to help but with

little success.

"South Korea is finding, as I have told them,

that their talk of appeasement with North

Korea will not work, they only understand

one thing!“ _ Donald Trump

Page 22: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:

"There’s no question that this is another provocation. It’s

reckless, what they’re doing.

"They seem to be moving closer to a hydrogen bomb

which, if fitted to a successful missile, would

unquestionably present a new order of threat."

The Foreign Secretary insisted “peaceful, diplomatic

means” are the best and “we think the sanctions route

still holds potential”.[What was done to Libya, Iran

& Iraq??]

Bharath reacts to NOKO –DHUM!

New Delhi: India today said it "deplored" the latest nuclear test conducted by North Korea that has rung alarm bells across the world.

A statement from the foreign ministry said India remains concerned about the proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies which has "adversely impacted" her national security.

Bharath reacts to NOKO –DHUM!

"It is a matter of deep concern that DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has once again acted in violation of its international commitments which goes against the objective of the de- nuclearization of the Korean peninsula, which has been endorsed by DPRK itself,"

the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.

Page 25: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

North Korea announced this morning that it has tested

a hydrogen bomb with "unprecedentedly big power"

that can be loaded onto an intercontinental ballistic

missile.

The test, conducted today, came as Prime Minister

Narendra Modi departed for China to attend a summit

of BRICS -a grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China,

South Africa. China, seen as a key ally of North Korea,

has condemned the test, saying the nation has "ignored

the international community's widespread opposition".

Page 26: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

President Trump has repeatedly spoken of adopting military measures to shut down North Korea's nuclear and missile programs. North Korea justifies its weapons program citing a threat of US invasion.

Within hours of the test today, President Trump said "appeasement with North Korea" will not work. "North Korea has conducted a major Nuclear Test,"

President Trump said, "Their words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the United States."

Page 27: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?
Page 28: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

It is the Korean people that have the most to lose by the

continued division of Korea, while the neighboring

countries and the U.S. are benefiting from a divided

Korea and are not unhappy with the situation. Tension

on the Korean Peninsula is even beneficial to some

neighbors. The US military presence in South Korea and

massive import of modern weapons are viewed by North

Korea as a threat its regime and South Korea also

regards very existence of North Korea as a threat to its

security and pay high price for the alliance with the US.

Page 29: Two Germanys united - Why not Two  Koreas?

The division not only risks the stability and peace on the

Korean Peninsula but also the future of its people. The

unification strategies of both Koreas are contradictory and

serve to cement the status quo. North Korea still hopes to

unify the country by a socialist revolution in the South and

South Korea hopes that collapse of the North Korean

regime is coming and unification by absorption can be

achieved, if China strictly apply the UN sanctions against

North Korea. Without changing their thinking and strategy,

it is impossible to find a lasting peace mechanism to

replace the truce agreement. A new standpoint is needed.
