 South Korea has begun this morning, immediate military exercises near the border with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Initially, the maneuvers were scheduled for the weekend, but were canceled - officially because of bad weather. Experts warn about the serious political and military risks, social and environmental impacts of a potential major conflict between the two Koreas, Russian daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta noted, as quoted by realitatea.net. According to him, Moscow believes that the maneuvers with artillery attacks of South Koreans held Yeonpyeong island, could further damage already tense situation in the region. Russia, which has a border with the DPRK has nothing to fear, daily stresses. The Russian analyst Alexander Vorontsov, where the conflict will escalate, it is possible influx of refugees and an environmental catastrophe in the area. "In South Korea there are 20 nuclear plants that could be destroyed with normal weapons. This means 20 new Chernobyl incident. Moreover, and North Korea are nuclear targets," said Vorontsov, expert at the Institute of Oriental Russian Academy of Sciences.
Moreover, military action will force neighboring Korean Peninsula, including Russia, China and the U.S., to place in the overall state of readiness to fight armed forces. "From experience we know that the Iraqi campaign, despite the use of high precision weapons, were sometimes affected neighboring countries," Russian analyst warns. According to Vorontsov's the conflict between the two Koreas could be a long and uncontrollable, could escalate into a Third World War, the United States to confront China.
Meanwhile, Washington's position arouses questions, highlights Nezavisimaya Gazeta. Thus, the U.S. did not accept the summons, last Saturday, the Security Council of the United Nations (UN), as requested by Moscow. It is expected that about 20 U.S. soldiers take part in the current South Korean maneuvers. Pyongyang says that the South Koreans are using the Americans as a shield, but did not hesitate to threaten to "unpredictable attacks of self defense." In turn, the U.S. State Department said that Seoul's military exercises are some grounds in terms of ensuring security and that the South Korean side has a right to it.
In his opinion Vorontsov, maneuvers reveal illusions Seoul South Koreans, that the DPRK regime change would be possible by amplifying the pressures and isolation. "South Korea and the U.S. have agreed positions. In addition, Washington gets a lever to intensify pressure on China, because the situation gives the possibility to carry out military forces within the borders of the PRC, to hold exercises in the Yellow Sea in the immediate vicinity of the banks and the principal cities of China, "explained the expert.
