(11-8-2023)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) "South Korea's role in the Middle East conflict is entirely a matter for Korea to decide as a sovereign nation." @Q&A withe a White House NSC, Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby and Janne Pak at the White House Press Briefing on November 8, 2023. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues, the minds of Korea and its allies in neighboring countries are becoming confused. This is because there are concerns that the conflict in the Middle East may spread to neighboring countries and lead to an escalation of war. 이스라엘과 하마스간의 전쟁이 길어지고 있는 가운데 한국과 주변국 동맹들의 마음은 착잡해지고 있다. 중동 분쟁이 이웃국가로 번져 확전이 될까 우려되기 때문이다. In particular, North Korea's actions, which are threatening the Korean Peninsula, are becoming harsher. The risk is high because Russia and North Korea are engaging in military cooperation and there is a lot of arms trading going on. 특히 한반도를 위협하고 있는 북한의 행동이 거칠어지고 있다. 러시아와 북한이 군사협력을 하고 있고 많은 무기거래가 진행되고 있기 때문에 그 위험성이 크다. The White House announced today (8th) that “in preparation for an emergency situation on the Korean Peninsula,...

U.S. military experts have argued that deploying tactical nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula is not militarily feasible. However, South Korean and U.S. experts recently released a report saying that if North Korea does not give up its nuclear weapons, it could deploy tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea. ​미 군사 전문가들은 그동안 한반도에 전술핵을 배치하는 것은 군사적으로 타당하지 않다고 주장해 왔다. 하지만 최근 한미 전문가들은 북한이 핵을 포기하지 않으면 한국에 전술핵무기를 배치할수 있다는 보고서를 발표했다. A recent report by the Rand Institute and South Korea's Asan Institute for Policy Studies announced the 'ROK-U.S. Joint Research Report on Strengthening South Korea's Nuclear Security,' which states, "If North Korea refuses to freeze nuclear weapons production, it will redeploy U.S. nuclear weapons in a feasible way." 최근 미 랜드연구소와 한국의 아산정책연구원 보고서에서 “북한이 핵무기 생산 동결을 거부할 경우 미국의 핵무기를 실현 가능한 방식으로 재배치하겠다는 ‘한국의 핵보장 강화를 위한 한미 공동연구보고서’를 발표했다. The United States is strengthening extended deterrence, but South Korea's nuclear guarantee must be strengthened in a more realistic...
