Moscow: US intelligence agencies have claimed that thousands of North Korean soldiers who arrived in <a href="http://www.time.news/mega-storm-hits-southern-russia-and-ukraine/" title="“Mega storm” hits southern Russia and Ukraine“>Russia this month for maneuvers could be deployed in Ukraine. However, Russia has not yet reacted to such possibilities. Russia has said that North Korean soldiers have reached their country for the exercise and will return home as soon as it is over. US intelligence agencies have also expressed concern to the Biden administration and its allies that increased coordination between anti-Western countries is posing a very broad and immediate security threat. This is a danger where partnerships of convenience are evolving into more explicit military relationships.
How the ‘axis’ countries are helping Russia
Drones made in Iran have been flying from Russia and attacking Ukraine for the last one year. Only last month, America had claimed that Iran had sent hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia. China has been accused of supplying Russia’s war machine with substantial quantities of “dual-use” goods such as microelectronics and machine tools that can be used to make weapons. Last week, the US for the first time sanctioned two Chinese firms for supplying complete weapons systems. However, North Korea, China and Iran have denied providing such support to Russia.
US Congress said there is a big danger
The congressionally-backed group that evaluates U.S. defense strategy this summer dubbed Russia, China, Iran and North Korea “the core of an increasingly lethal partnership.” The fear is that shared hostility toward America is driving these countries to work together. Each of these countries is posing a threat not only to America but also to its allies not only in a particular region but in the entire world.
US Defense Minister also admitted the truth
“If (North Korea) is a co-belligerent, their intention is to participate in this war on behalf of Russia, that would be a very “There is a serious issue, and it will not only impact Europe – it will impact things in the Indo Pacific as well.” This statement of the US Defense Minister has created a new tension in the pro-Western countries.
America is in the biggest trouble after World War II
Experts say this new and dangerous alliance is emerging decades after the staunchly anti-Western alliance of the Axis powers and Imperial Japan of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan of the Cold War era. The catalyst for this alliance is Putin’s war in Ukraine. Earlier, former US President George W Bush had described US enemies Iran, Iraq and North Korea as the “axis of evil”. However, America then attacked and destroyed two of these countries and placed the third under sanctions.
All enemies of America are nuclear powered
This alliance is also increasing America’s tension because almost all the countries included in it are nuclear powered. North Korea is believed to have manufactured several illegal nuclear weapons. At the same time, Iran is a country which can make nuclear weapons in a few weeks. The ongoing military partnership between Russia and North Korea is linking the raging war in Europe with the conflict on the Korean Peninsula. This development is happening when Kim Jong Un has threatened South Korea with war.
