Taming nuclear weapons failed: the US is moving to the new tactics for the DPRK - NYT

For 30 years, American diplomacy has tried to resolve the issue of nuclear weapons of the DPRK, but with the change of the position of China Biden promises another protection of South Korea. All US attempts to resolve North Korea nuclear issue have never been successful. After the last meeting of President Donald Trump with Kim Jong -in in Hana, the Nuclear Arsenal of the DPRK has expanded so much that American and South Korean officials have ceased to calculate.

About it reports The New York Times. North Korean missile tests have become so frequent that Seoul causes "more shrugging than loud headlines. " Now the disarmament of the DPRK looks small, so instead the Biden administration focuses on "extended restraint. " The US nuclear arsenal will be used if North Korea attacks the South. The publication states that the emphasis on restraint is a recognition that all other attempts to curb the DPRK nuclear program have failed for 30 years.

These attempts included diplomacy, devastating sanctions and episodic promises to help. At the recent safety conference held by the University of Korean, several experts stated that in their opinion, the purpose of Kim Jong -in is to approach the arsenals of Great Britain and France, each of which contains from 200 to 300 to 300 nuclear warheads. North Korea's new confidence in the expansion of the arsenal, according to US officials, is partly explained by a change in relations with China.

Earlier, the United States actively cooperated with Beijing on a nuclear arsenal. There were even episodes where the DPRK, Japan, the Russian Federation, the USA and South Korea gathered for joint negotiations. China previously voted for sanctions and partially introduced them against Pyongyang. Now, instead of considering North Korea as a "rebellious, angry neighbor", China welcomes it with Russia and Iran.
