TOKYO, Jan 6 – RIA Novosti, Ivan Zakharchenko. North Korea blew poslenovogodnyuyu atmosphere of the neighboring countries of the hydrogen bomb, which, allegedly, she had experienced at the nuclear test site in the mountains of the province of Yangkang relatively close to the borders with Russia. While other countries do not have accurate data, confirming that the DPRK has experienced is a thermonuclear weapon, she obviously wanted to make a demonstrative effect both inside the country and in the international community.

Against the North Korean state already operate strict sanctions from the Council UN Security Council as well as unilateral restrictions the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries that block the foreign policy of North Korea, hinder the development of its economy.

Along with nuclear weapons, Pyongyang is actively developing ballistic missiles, including launched from submarines. These missiles can be fitted with nuclear warheads.

The neighbors of the DPRK, including China, have condemned the nuclear test Pyongyang, some of them are going to seek from the UN Security Council for tougher sanctions, but it is unlikely they will act to force the North Korean state capacity nuclear potential. And it is unlikely the leadership of this country to think first and foremost about the possible consequences of a new explosion, likely count on political advantage.



The stern statement in the festive atmosphere

The application of a successful test, According to Pyongyang, thermonuclear weapons was read out by the central TV DPRK speaker very solemn voice.

“Bright success of the DPRK in the hydrogen bomb test at this time was a great achievement in the history, a historic event of national importance, as it ensures the eternal future of the nation “, – said in a statement.

In the video frames from North Korea, shown on television in South Korea, Pyongyang residents listened in silence to this statement a large TV panels on a city street. Then they applauded and congratulated each other.

The effect was a success, perfect trumpeted as a victory. It happened two days before the upcoming January 8 birthday of leader Kim Jong-un. This date, according to the wall North Korean calendars, solemnly celebrated in contrast to the birthday of his father and grandfather, the country’s leader Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung.

South Korean experts, whose opinions broadcast media do not exclude that the time for this test was not chosen by accident.

Besides approaching the holding in May of this year for the first 36 years of the Congress Workers Party of Korea (WPK) and the successful nuclear test will mark the celebration of the reign of the young leader of the country. Defying international institutions, Kim Jong-un continues to test nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, trying to strengthen their positions.

It has been repeatedly DPRK tried to prove that it would be necessary to develop nuclear weapons, if not a threat to the United States and refusal Washington’s idea of ​​signing a peace treaty between the two countries. At this time, the same idea was voiced again: North Korea will not give up nuclear weapons, as the United States will not abandon the hostile course.



“Explosion” as a means of pressure

In 2005, year when North Korea first announced the creation of nuclear weapons and classified itself as “nuclear powers”, she did not listen and did not recognize itself. And the sanctions against Pyongyang in the UN Security Council have been taken. In response, North Korea conducted a year after the first test, and again no one wanted it considered, it only indicated the place. Developments continued despite the initiated in 2003 in Beijing six-party talks with the participation of Russian diplomats, the United States, China, Japan, South Korea and the DPRK itself. Nuclear tests were also conducted in 2009, 2013, and this time we are talking about a thermonuclear explosion.

The talks of “six” are deadlocked for a long time, North Korea announced their “dead”, insisting that the nuclear issue between it and the United States, on which depends whether Pyongyang to continue its nuclear program.

Kim Jong Ynu clearly needed recognition that the usual way he achieved can not.

US does not recognize and can not accept North Korea as a full state, as initially promised not to do it to his closest ally in Asia – South Korea. Maintenance of neither war nor peace allows Americans to hold the position in the region, hoping to influence China and Russia. Placed in South Korea more than 28 thousand US troops sent officially to protect Seoul, but in fact opposed to the other superpower in the region. The tension that arises in this case, allows you to sell the newest expensive weapons in South Korea and Japan, which is advantageous economically, in addition, that the content of the US troops in these countries generously paid out of their budget.

In this regard, some calling sign a peace treaty is not limited to North Korea, and is not going to surrender. There is only one way out – to challenge America, and with it the entire international community, which condemns Pyongyang’s actions and “accompanies”, in his opinion, the US government.



inter-Korean relations and dialogue

>

On the first day in 2016, Kim Jong-un did not mention even once nuclear weapons in an address to the nation, instilling hope in South Korea and other countries that are now his country will focus exclusively on solving economic problems and improving people’s livelihood. He also called for improved inter-Korean relations and opening the way for national reunification.

Last December, held talks at the level of deputy ministers of the DPRK and the Republic of Korea to improve relations, but not to no avail. It was not even defined timing of the next meeting. Immediately after that, on December 15, as the South Korean TV, Kim Jong-un has signed an order on the thermonuclear test.

South Korea condemned Pyongyang has threatened that the nuclear test becomes a hindrance to national reunification, but has intensified contacts with the participants in the Six-Party negotiations. Head of the delegation of the Republic of Korea Hwang Chun Guk had contacts with representatives of other countries, including the Russian ambassador in Seoul, exchanging views on the situation around North Korea.

Over the years, this country has got used to the fact that it began to pay attention only when extremes. Maybe this time will be as well – both Pyongyang and the other “players” have the opportunity to resolve the situation through diplomatic channels, but the final decision away.

Since the days of the six-party talks, Russia insisted that it is the best format negotiations, but it is possible to bring to the representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). However, experience has shown that without solving the problems of bilateral North Korea with South Korea, the United States and Japan Nuclear Regulatory impossible to achieve.
