Pentagon; No one wants to see conflict in Korean Peninsula and Taiwan that region,_so that will continue to be our focus.
(1-4-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) "Continued extended deterrence by the United States is necessary to deter North Korea's nuclear war." @Q&A with a Pentagon Spokesperson General Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Regular Press Briefing on Jan 4, 2024. The international situation is worsening as China, Russia, and North Korea engage in blatant military cooperation. In particular, the situation in the Middle East is worsening due to arms trade between North Korea and Russia. 중국과 러시아 북한이 군사협력을 노골적으로 함으로서 국제정세가 악화되고 있다. 특히 북한과 러시아는 무기거래를 하여 중동정세가 더욱 악화 상황에 놓여있다. It was revealed that Hamas used North Korean-made weapons during its first surprise aggression of Israel in 2023. This is because the weapons North Korea provided to Iran flowed to Hamas. 2023년 하마스가 처음 이스라엘을 기습침공할 당시 하마스는 북한제 무기를 사용했던 것으로 드러났다. 북한이 이란에 제공한 무기가 하마스로 흘러들어갔기 때문이다. Not only did Russia do the same when it first attacked Ukraine, but it also attacked Ukraine with a North Korean-made short-range ballistic missile on December 28 of last year, White House NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby announced at a White House briefing today (4th, local...

The U.S. does not expect dialogue with North Korea, but ‘welcomes’ it… no signs of intent
(1-3-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on Jan 3, 2024 North Korea and Russia are trying to expand the war through military cooperation. As if to illustrate this point, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov pointed out the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan as this year's conflict risk areas in an interview with Russia's TASS news agency on December 28. 북한과 러시아는 군사협력을 통해 전쟁을 확대하려는 괴략을 하고 있다. 이를 말해 주듯 세르게이 라브로프 러시아 외무부장관은 지난 12월 28일 러시아의 타스통신과의 인터뷰에서 한반도와 타이완을 올해의 분쟁 위험 지역으로 지목했다. Foreign Minister Lavrov also harshly criticized the United States, saying, “The United States is openly encouraging Taiwanese separatist tendencies despite repeated warnings from China.” 라브로프 장관은 또한 “미국은 중국의 거듭된 경고에도 타이완 분리주의 경향을 공개적으로 부추기고 있다.”고 미국을 맹 비난 했다. In response, U.S. State Department Spokesperson Miller mentioned the invasion of Ukraine at a regular briefing today (3rd, local time) and dismissed it, saying, “Russia has no right to say this.” He added, “We are actively working to end conflicts around the world, and Russia should refrain from...

(12-19-2023)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a White House NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby and Janne Pak at the White House regular press briefing on December 19, 2023. In response to Kim Jong-un's nuclear threat message directed at the United States while criticizing the sharing of missile warning information between South Korea, the United States and Japan, the White House said that it takes the United States' responsibility toward South Korea and Japan seriously, emphasizing its will to defend itself as its top priority. ​백악관은 김정은이 한미일 미사일 경보 정보공유를 비난하면서 미국을 향해 핵 위협 메시지를 발표한데 대해, 한국과 일본에 대한 미국의 책임을 진지하게 받아 들인다고 밝히면서 최우선으로 방어 의지를 강조했다.
