Why does the United States not attack North Korea? Only these three reasons make the United States afraid.
North Korea’s location is simply a natural strategic fortress, on the west side of northeast China, and on the north side of Russia’s Far East, which is equivalent to the doorstep of the home of two great powers.
These years are not peaceful internationally, the Middle East is constant, Europe has conflict, but close to Northeast Asia's North Korea, even if occasionally engage in missile tests, the United States screams again and again and never really do.
Many people wonder, with the military strength of the United States, why does it shy away from North Korea? In fact, there are three layers of doorways hidden here, each of which makes the United States afraid to act rashly.
More than seventy years ago, the Korean War, early to the United States engraved a profound lesson, when the U.S. military with the advantage of equipment and the way to the north, the eye will be close to the Duck Green River, but was pushed back to the 38th line by the volunteer army that crossed the river.
The number of casualties in that battle remains a scar that the US military is unwilling to touch.
More crucial is the geographical location of North Korea, one next to the Russian Far East and one next to the northeast of China, which can be seen as a Chinese-Russian security barrier in Northeast Asia.
China and Russia have never wanted chaos on the peninsula. Any proposal in the United Nations that would intensify the situation will be blocked by the two countries.
The United States knows more than anyone else that it really needs to mobilize against North Korea, and once the situation is out of control, it is not a small thing, it is likely to trigger a more serious chain reaction, which is the core reason it always dares not to neglect delusions.
North Korea's own hard power is not just paper. Some people may think that North Korea's economy is not developed and how strong can its military strength be? But don't underestimate other people's ability to prepare for war.
The philosophy of all-people troops in North Korea is not a joke, the army is ranked at the top in the world, and is constantly in combat readiness, and the soldiers' combat will and adaptability have been hammered.
What's even more amazing is that they dug a large number of underground fortifications. Even if the US military took advantage of air strikes at the beginning, if the ground troops really wanted to enter, they would definitely fall into an endless war of attrition.
The jungle battle of the Vietnam War at the time made the United States suffering, and North Korea's underground work is harder to deal with than the jungle, and the U.S. military does not want to fight an unseen consumption war.
The most disgusting of the United States, or the "big assassin" in North Korea's hands, now the world knows that North Korea has nuclear weapons, and has been able to create intercontinental missiles that can hit the United States mainland.
This is not the "false intelligence" of Iraq back then, but a real deterrent.
How can the United States engage in military exercises and pressure, North Korea dares to use missile tests to harden, the bottom line comes from this "fish-to-net break" ability.
For the United States, it is too expensive to bet North Korea does not dare to do so, and even if the country is hit with nuclear weapons, even if it can completely destroy North Korea, the outcome of this "compassion" is unbearable by the government and the people.
In the final analysis, the United States has never dared to touch North Korea because it has never been "soft", but because it has calculated the pros and cons.
Geographically, there are major powers, military hard bones, and the most important thing is nuclear deterrence, so that domestic security is threatened, these three combined, coupled with the historical lessons of the Korean War, no American president dares to easily press the start of the war button.
Peace is never called out, it is replaced by sufficient strength so that the opponent does not dare to delude.
