(1-11-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Spokesperson General Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon regular press briefing on Jan 11, 2024. North Korea announced that it would export new missiles to Russia. As a result, arms trade between North Korea and Russia is becoming an established fact. 북한이 새로운 미사일을 러시아에 수출할 것이라고 발표했다. 이로서 북러간의 무기거래는 기정사실화 되고 있다. North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations' accusation at the United Nations Security Council that North Korea had provided missiles to Russia, calling it "absurd information from the United States," was proven to be false. 유엔주제 북한대사가 유엔안보리회의에서 북한이 러시아에 미사일을 제공했다는 것은 미국의 터무니 없는 정보라고 비난한 것이 거짓임이 드러났다. The U.S. Department of Defense(Pentagon) strongly criticized North Korea for providing weapons to Russia, while also pointing out Russia's isolation and desperation. 미 국방부는 러시아에 무기를 제공하고 있는 북한에 대해 강력히 비판하면서 러시아의 고립과 절박함도 동시에 지적했다. Pentagon spokesperson General Ryder strongly criticized North Korea's provision of weapons to Russia on the 11th(local time), saying it was participation in the massacre of the Ukrainian people. 펜타곤 대변인 라이더 장군은 11일(현지시간) 북한의 대러 무기 제공은 우크라이나 국민에 대한...

The first and third weapons from top to bottom are anti-tank rockets made by Hamas using the rocket propellant of North Korea's F-7. The second and remaining three weapons are the F-7. They all have the same propellant at the back.> Recently, the White House disclosed evidence showing that Russia used North Korean ballistic missiles to attack Ukraine during arms trade between North Korea and Russia. 최근 백악관이 북한과 러시아가 무기거래를 하면서 러시아가 북한제 탄도미사일을 우크라이나를 향해 공격하는데 사용했다는 증거를 공개했다. Meanwhile, Israel's former national security adviser recently revealed to the media that Hamas used North Korean-made rockets to attack Israel. 그런가 하면 이스라엘 전 국가안보보좌관은 하마스가 이스라엘을 침공하는데 북한제 로켓을 사용했다고 최근 언론에 공개했다. The South Korean National Intelligence Service also revealed that it was aware of Hamas using North Korean-made weapons to attack Israel. ​하마스가 이스라엘을 공격하는데 북한제 무기를 사용한데 대해 한국 국정원도 인지를 하고 있지다고 밝혔다. In response to my question,...

(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...

Immediately after North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on the 18th, Chinese Communist Party Foreign Minister Wang Yi and North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Park Myong-ho held a high-level diplomatic meeting in Beijing, reaffirmed mutual support between the two countries and discussed strategic cooperation measures, followed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it will visit Beijing, China from the 19th to the 20th and hold talks with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Quaqiang. ​18일 북한의 대륙간 탄도미사일(ICBM) 발사 직후 왕이 중국 공산당 외교부장과 박명호 북한 외무성 부상이 베이징에서 고위급 외교 회담을 열고 양국 간 상호 지지를 재확인했으며 전략적 협력 방안을 논의한데 이어 미하일 미슈스틴 러시아 총리가 19일부터 20일까지 중국 베이징을 방문해 시진핑 주석과 리쿼창 총리와 회담을 가질 것이라고 중국 외교부가 발표했다. China is actually tolerating North Korea's ICBM provocations. 중국은 사실상 북한의 대륙간 탄도미사일 도발을 용인해 주고 있다. ​The U.S. State Department repeatedly called for China's influence on North Korea in response to recent...

Following the launch of a short-range ballistic missile on the 17th, North Korea launched a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile(ICBM) toward the east coast on the 18th. Of the 18 missile launches this year, 5 were intercontinental ballistic missiles. 북한이 17일 단거리 탄도미사일 발사에 이어 18일 장거리 대륙간 탄도미사일을 동해안으로 발사했다. 올해 18번 미사일 발사중에 5번을 대륙간 탄도미사일을 발사했다. The White House NSC and the Indo-Pacific Command also issued a statement on the 18th when North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), saying, “The United States condemns this launch and urges North Korea to refrain from further destabilizing actions.” ​백악관 NSC과 인도태평양사령부는 북한이 대륙간탄도미사일(ICBM)을 발사한 18일에도 성명을 내고 “미국은 이번 발사를 규탄하며, 북한이 더 이상의 불안정한 행동을 자제할 것을 촉구한다”고 밝혔다. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said, “The United States strongly condemns North Korea’s ballistic missile launches on the 17th and 18th, including ICBM launches,” and pointed out, “These launches violated multiple UN Security Council resolutions.” 국무성 매튜 밀러 대변인은 “미국은 ICBM 발사를 포함한 북한의 17일과...
