The alarms began bleating from cellphones, radios, and public speakers across northern Japan. It was 7:30 on Tuesday morning as residents were warned that North Korea had fired a missile over the country for the first time in five years and that they should seek shelter.
With the war in Ukraine and Russia’s threats to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, it was easy to lose sight of the rising danger North Korea poses to peace in Asia.
North Korea recaptured the world’s attention Tuesday when it launched an intermediate–range ballistic missile over Japan for the first time since 2017, prompting Japanese orders to take shelter across two northern prefectures.
The U.S. and South Korea responded by sending warplanes on a bombing drill targeting an uninhabited island in the Yellow Sea, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.
The North Korean missile, which landed in the Pacific Ocean, marked the nation’s fifth round of weapons tests in 10 days.
Russia has helped by providing Pyongyang protection from the U.N. Security Council and buying millions of North Korean rockets and artillery shells to replenish depleted stocks after months of fighting in Ukraine, according to a U.S. intelligence finding disclosed last month.
Kim likely took a cue from Russian President Vladimir Putin by using nuclear saber-rattling to gain attention and achieve his goals, recognition as a legitimate nuclear weapons state that should not be under sanction.
“The Yoon government refuses to appease Pyongyang and is more willing than its predecessor to increase security cooperation with Washington and Tokyo,” said Leif-Eric Easley, associate professor of international studies at Ewha Woman’s University in Seoul.
“The problem is that China is doing less to restrain and more to enable North Korea while the Kim regime has wrongly convinced itself that nuclear weapons can defeat Seoul.
Revelations 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
James 1:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
James1:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and diseases; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
