In the face of North Korea's nuclear program, a strategic confrontation occurred in South Korea, led by the Republican Party of the United States, and opposed by the Democratic Party of the United States.
Rep. James Inhoff, Republican secretary of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said on the 13th that North Korea's nuclear policy was "focused on improving the missile defense capabilities of the United States and its allies in the future, and the already delayed nuclear deterrence of the United States, such as the sea-launched nuclear cruise missile program." It is important to continue strengthening,” he said to the Voice of America(VOA).
"I continue to support the Biden administration's goal of complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the administration's commitment to an unconditional meeting with North Korean leaders," said Democratic Party lawmaker Edward Mackie, chair of the East Asia and Pacific subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. policy' to the VOA.
"It is disappointing that North Korea enacted a nuclear force law, but as we always know, the Kim regime is making it official that the Kim regime had no intention of giving up its nuclear weapons," said Republican Rep. Inhoff.
On the other hand, Democratic Party lawmaker Mackie said, “I am very concerned about the change in North Korea’s nuclear policy. This increases the risk of catastrophic misjudgment.”
At the Supreme People's Assembly on the 8th, North Korea adopted the nuclear force policy as a statute and legislated the preemptive use of nuclear weapons.
Rep. Tae Young-ho (People's Power) told VOA on the 11th in the United States, "What I am living is control over North Korea's nuclear force, and what I am living is a deterrent to preventing nuclear war. So if you kill me, the children below will automatically shoot (nuclear weapons). This has been legislated,” he said as Chairman Kim Jong-un’s “survival guarantee.”
A North Korean defector diplomat said, “Even if the US asks to establish diplomatic ties, Kim Jong-un will not do it.” “The Kim Jong-un regime will collapse in 20 to 30 years. It is a matter of time. During this period, it must be managed stably to avoid using nuclear weapons. “The most effective method is to leave Kim Jong-un behind and educate and enlighten the people outside Kim Jong-un and the North Korean people,” he said.
Jeong Seong-jang, director of the Center for North Korean Studies at the Sejong Institute, said on the 14th, “The ROK and the United States will fundamentally reexamine the way the ROK-U.S. joint exercise has been conducted on the premise that North Korea does not use nuclear weapons. The worst situation in which North Korea will use tactical or strategic nuclear weapons in the future. “If North Korea uses tactical or strategic nuclear weapons against South Korea, the South Korean government promised that the U.S. would immediately retaliate with North Korean equivalent weapons.” “If North Korea uses tactical or strategic nuclear weapons against South Korea, the United States should be able to immediately and automatically retaliate against North Korea with corresponding weapons.” said
He continued, “I suggested ‘guaranteeing the use of nuclear weapons’ as a policy to counter North Korea’s nuclear weapons, saying that the U.S. must clearly state both internally and externally, internally and externally, to clearly deter Kim Jong-un’s use of nuclear weapons when the U.
“As North Korea’s nuclear and missile capabilities have advanced, various opinion polls show that the public’s support for South Korea’s independent nuclear armament has been very high at over 71% since the end of last year,” said Chung, head of the North Korean Center, on August 29. As the voices of domestic and foreign experts in support of the independent nuclear armament of Korea and Japan continue to grow, they began to insist on South Korea's independent nuclear armament as a means of providing data on this.
Regarding North Korea's nuclear weapons program on the 7th, Center Director Jeong said, "As it is known that North Korea is preparing for the 7th nuclear test by resuming ICBM test-fires from 2022, voices in the United States are growing in favor of South Korea's independent nuclear armament." "Only in July. However, three articles have been published in support of South Korea's nuclear armament, including an article by Lee Dae-han, a correspondent in the US Foreign Policy and The National Interest," he said.
South Korea's own nuclear armament argument, which is growing stronger in the Republican Party in the US, is gradually growing under Yoon Seok-Yeol's system to pressure the Biden administration for the US midterm elections in November.
The Yun Suk-Yeol regime adopted a joint statement on the “denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula” at the Korea-US summit in May, but later revised its strategy to “the denuclearization of North Korea” and excluded South Korea’s nuclear armament.

North Korea's Rodong Sinmun reported on the 14th that international sanctions, "It makes no sense to maintain political independence without economic independence. No matter how the situation changes in the future, our party will strongly promote economic construction on the principle of self-reliance." "The methods of the United States and the West may work for those who are in a hurry, but it will never work for our people who regard independence as their life," he said.
