Korean War 60 years: Uphold the peace in response to “Uncertain future”

Jun 28

Posted by admin in History, North Korea | Comments off

Time flies, 60 reminding us of scenes in a short span of six decades, the magnificent Korean War is already an instant before the events of the past half century has. Review of the 20th century in the 21st century, the Cold War period beginning 50′s early years, one of the shamisen worthy of fine chemicals. How to learn from history, experience and lessons learned to cope with an uncertain future, to avoid a repeat of the tragedy, perhaps today to discuss the Korean War should be the focus of this topic.

American scholar of international relations in the study Jervis’s “cognitive” and “cognitive error”, saying that incorrectly apply the historical experience and wishful thinking is the cause of the deviation of policy between countries because of misunderstanding and to the key to the war. Research and discussion in the course of the Korean War, how to avoid the “wrong perception” of the interference is especially important.

To avoid the interference of cognitive errors, the first is to avoid being entangled in some detail to an examination as well as entertainment, according to the mentality, to interpret the outbreak of the Korean War, such as land to dwell too much relish, “the first bullet is Where root out the barrel in firing “of such a proposition. Interpretation of this entertainment is reflected in the Western news “sensational reporting” of the classic characteristics and to the pursuit of misleading and even hide the details of the overall problem in depth.

Second, the way to avoid mechanical formalism applied with the geopolitical and national interests such abstract concepts, with some preconceived to discuss the complex and subjective cognitive strategic decision-making process specific. China, the United States, Russia, the three current major players in the Korean War, have opened around the 50s of the 20th century diplomacy, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, Zhou Enlai, Molotov and other top leaders of the top-secret telegram contacts have been presented in front of people. These new file documents, including all types of parties are oral, and sketched out a rich, detailed, complicated the Korean War, rather than a simple geo-political symbols.

Third, to avoid the kind of “hindsight” the wisdom from the particular historical environment in the 21st century with the formation of the international situation, some ideas, values, to analyze 50 years of the 20th century that very different time and space. 60 years ago, capitalism and the socialist camp incompatible with each other, Stalin’s “general crisis of capitalism” speech, was the Western media as a “third world war speech”, the basic conclusion is the ultimate showdown inevitable; in the United States the same anti-communist hysteria pervaded not only crazy politicians, and even in the Superman comics and other entertainment products, also reveal that ideological confrontation and madness.

In a sense, the ultimate head-on collision of Sino-US Korean War, is under the influence of ideological factors that era, each the result of cognitive errors: the MacArthur as the typical representative of the arrogance to underestimate the U.S. military to defend its new China strategic security of the political will to underestimate the weapons and equipment on an absolute disadvantage in the Chinese People’s Volunteers of the individual ability and tactical command and combat capabilities; just defeated in the war of liberation “to increase the aircraft artillery” of Chiang’s Liberation Army, were originally underestimated the number of the true sense of the brutality of modern mechanized warfare. In the end, these two countries have completely different ideologies, is gradually completed in the field of mutual awareness and understanding of the true original.

However, from another perspective, the Korean War Ye Hao, the Cold War worth mentioning, compared to today’s world, it is a certainty at least age, although there among the major powers on the battlefield to war and, ultimately, the risk of a showdown However, the risks faced by the entire international community is determined, the theme of war and peace occupy the dominant position of the status of each country’s strategic priorities are identified.

60 years later, large enough to result in a showdown triggered a nuclear war to destroy all of humanity, Zhebing sword of Damocles has ceased to exist, replaced by the uncertainties, however, the risk, but then the national and the international community a more serious harsh challenges. Has a special meaning that the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue as an opportunity, had fought with arms on the battlefield, the parties, now a suit sitting at the negotiating table, began within the framework of the six-party talks to discuss how “peaceful solution” problem. Despite the stimulation of various unexpected events, all the major countries to maintain the abnormal valuable eventually calm, and therefore the overall situation remains peaceful state. This calm, exercise restraint and resolve the problem through negotiations, the preferred choice, it should be is left of that war 60 years ago today the world’s most precious legacy.

North Korean naval war will be suicide attacks, powerful enemy completely devastated

May 30

Posted by admin in North Korea, Observers | Comments off

South Korean Navys newest Aegis warships 232x300 North Korean naval war will be suicide attacks, powerful enemy completely devastated【Canada, “Chinese Defense Review,” June number (early publication) article】 title: South Korean naval vessels from the explosion to see non-symmetric sea

Korea Aegis destroyers, American Aegis-equipped destroyers, 3,000-ton submarines designed a new generation of South Korea, the United States Naval pride. If the real Fighting North and South Korea, North Korea, navy and air force but by sea, air guerrillas it.

But it is this complacency, the South Korean navy “Pohang” class 1,200 tons of PCC-722 coastal patrol boats actually in the March 26 evening exploded, so far unexplained.

US-made Aegis destroyers in naval warfare has never been damaged, but several years ago was in the Gulf of Aden by boat loaded with explosives, suicide attacks, killed or wounded 27 people. Practically hors de combat. This is the modern asymmetric warfare at sea terror between.

Opponents may not have advanced surface ships, but on very simple methods, is still able to hit powerful enemy.

In China. Fifties and sixties of last century Battle of the Taiwan Strait, the Chinese mainland fishing boats and even machine guns, grenades hit Taiwan’s largest warships, combat method is very simple. That is disguised as ordinary large vessels fishing close to Taiwan, then opened fire.

1974 Battle of China and South Vietnam, which is greater than surface ship tonnage of the Chinese navy’s patrol ship, the Chinese use the same hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenades at close range anti-ship and sank a large South Vietnam.

Naval special warfare tactics, is a typical North Korean has been advocating tactics.

To this end, North Korea, have developed a large number of semi-submersibles, diving boat. They have power, the crew for the two sea speed of about five, some are wooden, so anti-submarine sonar systems for their detection range is limited.

The semi-submersible vessels, diving boats and has been used to carry spy, special operations personnel to infiltrate the South.

KPA Reconnaissance Bureau also has a special maritime reconnaissance troops, the implementation of a similar vessel infiltration.

These vessels, usually except the driver, the only carry a crew, some can carry up to two crew members. Use of the night, a similar dive boats lurking in the South Korean navy patrol boats to go through channel on standby, or directly carrying special forces divers close to the South Korean patrol ship, then dive near the Korean way of surface warships, mines and paste directly to the draft South Korean patrol boats Timing is below the detonation.

Such tactics have appeared in World War II, Allied naval special forces, in the Spanish port, the German spy ship on the implementation of water Reb put under the waterline, eventually detonating sunk surface ships, combat is at night. South Korean navy ships PCC-722 is an explosion in the night.

Of course this is no 100% evidence that North Korea is to insist that it means their own internal problems. Human factors such as the detonation of a 76 mm or 40 mm guns and ammunition? Han Jun-house, very serious abuse of soldiers, Army soldiers had opened fire attack occurred, the last shotgun wound of the case.

However, many South Korean Defense Ministry later issued a statement in the investigation have repeatedly stressed: There is no internal weapons bays hull signs of an explosion, and no fighting took place the cabin, shooting signs. How to draw a conclusion after? Unknown.

This is not to cause an explosion on the Korean ships to be conclusive, but from reasoning on the idea, suppose a real fight, the North Korean navy is possible in front of the powerful South Korean Navy, using near-suicide attack tactics.

Asymmetrical warfare, and even sneaked into South Korea’s military port to underwater attack. “SELF-Warrior”, “General Bomb soldiers” in reference to the Korean People’s Army, no one I do not know.

The incident, the military observers also have to face asymmetrical warfare in modern naval warfare tactics. Especially the special forces may be internal enemy naval underwater infiltration, surface ships sunk, or directly implemented in the enemy’s harbor underwater mines. Operation is complete, you can completely hide, so as not to intensify the military conflict. Can slip Yijianshuangdiao.

South Korea itself is also Malaysia’s LIMA 2009 exhibition on the Navy launched the two small dive boat for special operations. A kind referred to VOGO SDV800, maximum diving depth of 60 meters, speed 10 knots.

Another dive boat called VOGO SDV340, length of only 8 meters, the maximum speed of 6 knots, operational depth of 40 meters. Research shows that Han Jun is also a similar method of asymmetric guerrilla war underwater.
