North Korea, who wanted to maintain the wait-and-see tax, recently turned to a shape that stimulates the ROK and the United States with one after another with low-intensity provocations.
Ahead of the announcement of the new policy toward North Korea by the United States, it seems to be to press the policy of the’Gang Dae River First Line’, and attention is being paid to the exact intention.

Even when President Biden was elected in November of last year and inaugurated in January of this year, North Korea was exceptionally reluctant to speak about the United States.
It wasn’t until the end of January that he briefly mentioned the election of President Biden through the propaganda media.
North Korea’s sudden change of attitude was on the 16th, two days before the talks between the Korea-US diplomatic and defense ministers.

In addition, two days later, Choi Sun-hee, who is in charge of the strategy against the United States, was put under pressure, saying,’If you continue the hostile policy, think carefully about what you will do.’
On the 21st, it launched a cruise missile, and on the 25th, it even launched a ballistic missile that violated UN sanctions against North Korea.
North Korea’s move is read as one of the’compression techniques’ that attempts to occupy a more favorable highland ahead of the announcement of a new policy toward North Korea by the United States.

On the one hand, it can be interpreted that North Korea, which has taken pro-China actions in earnest in the face of a sharpening US-China conflict, has shown its will not to yield to US sanctions.

No matter what the real inside, the possibility that North Korea, which started the provocation, gradually increased its intensity and released or launched intercontinental ballistic missiles or submarine-launched ballistic missiles cannot be ruled out.
The diplomatic power of the Korean government, which emphasizes that military tension on the Korean Peninsula should not be raised under any circumstances, is expected to be put to the test again.
