Is it possible to redeploy tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea?_U.S. reaffirms strengthening of extended deterrence
(10-31-2-23)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent @Q&A with a Pentagon Spokesperson Genaeral Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on October 31, 2023. 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...

Does China's Middle East Special Envoy play a role as a peace mediator?
(10-23-2023)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @After the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, leaders from around the world are gathering in Cairo, Egypt to discuss peace in the Middle East.이스라엘과 하마스 전쟁 발발이후 전 세계의 정상급들이 이집트 카이로에 모여 중동 평화를 논의하고 있다.(10-21-2023) As there are concerns that the war between Israel and Hamas will escalate, China has stepped forward to act as a mediator for peace in the Middle East. Putin and Xi Jinping are siding with Hamas. It is a contradiction for China to act as a peace mediator. Of course, it is okay for China to use its power in a good sense, but since China supports Russia, which invaded Ukraine, and sides with Hamas, which invaded Israel, its role as a mediator is contradictory. 이스라엘과 하마스의 전쟁이 확전될 것이 우려되면서 중국이 중동평화를 위한 중재자 역할을 하겠다고 나섰다. 푸틴과 시진핑은 하마스편을 들고 있다. 이런 중국이 평화중재자 역할을 한다는 것은 모순이아닐수 없다. 물론 중국이 좋은 의미로 그들의 권한을 사용하는 것은 괜찮지만 중국은 우크라이나 침공을 한 러시아를 지지하고 있고, 이스라엘을 기습침공한 하마스편을 들고 있기 때문에 중재자로서의 역할이 모순이 된다는 것이다.
