Pyongyang’s reaction to the modification of the secret document “America’s nuclear strategy”
According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News Agency According to AFP, North Korea published a report about US President Joe Biden’s action in approving the country’s nuclear strategy document. And preparations for a possible nuclear confrontation with Russia, China and North Korea reacted.
The New York Times reported last week that Biden approved the document in March. In response to this report, Pyongyang emphasized with a statement published in the North Korean Central News Agency: North Korea will deploy its strategic forces to any level in order to contain and eliminate any security challenges arising from the modified (nuclear) program of the United States. The possible form will strengthen.
According to the Times, this top-secret document for the first time shifts Washington’s deterrence strategy to focus on rapid expansion. China’s nuclear arsenal has changed. The North Korean Central News Agency wrote that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country “has expressed its serious concern about the behavior of the United States and strongly condemns and rejects it.”
In another part of this statement, it is added that North Korea is against advancing its nuclear program and building sufficient nuclear forces. And he is reliable and committed to resolutely defend his sovereignty.
Pyongyang and Moscow have always been allies after World War II and this relationship after the start of Russian military operations In Ukraine, February 2022 is also closer. Washington and Seoul have accused North Korea of supplying weapons and missiles to Russia in the war against Ukraine. Pyongyang, which calls itself an “irreversible” nuclear power, has described the allegations as “absurd”. However, it praised Moscow for its action in the veto that ended UN inspectors’ monitoring of sanctions violations by Pyongyang.
On the other hand, China, which has a close relationship with Pyongyang, called itself neutral in the Ukraine war and emphasized has done that, unlike America and other western countries, it does not supply weapons to any of the war parties. Nevertheless, Beijing is one of Russia’s political and economic allies, and NATO members have labeled China a “decisive facilitator of war.”
