It is believed that North Korea has moved two of its medium
range missiles from a critical costal launch site. Previously, the warheads
could have been launched at any time but have been made unlaunchible for their preparation
to move. This move has relieved some tension off the surrounding nations and seems
to have been a very quick withdrawal. This action could be seen as a possible combat
manuviour as they North Koreans had only first moved the missiles to the costal
site on April 10th but could also have been seen as a natural standing
point. Realizing that the North Koreans are not actually stupid enough to fight
the United States, only to bluff them into less oppression.
I feel that if this is not an act towards ending the current
violence that the North Korean government has undertaken, then it is a strong
act of military strategy. The standard placement of your primary weapons is key
in any conflict, and this ‘withdrawal’ seems to be a step to ‘avoid’ an actual
future conflict. If in fact this is a move towards peace, the sole reason the
north Koreans are acting in this way is to attempt to take pressure off
themselves. On the other hand, it could be a ploy; solely for the purpose of reorganizing
weapons or creating a false sense of security for people outside of north
Korea. Either w way, north Korea is in a very bad spot right now and it will
take time to get out.
