The US is “frightened” by the unpredictability of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and the CIA’s new Korea Mission Center is an attempt to more efficiently gather intelligence about him, Professor Alexander Kubyshkin of St Petersburg State University told Radio Sputnik.
On Wednesday, the CIA stepped up its battle against North Korea with the establishment of a “Korea Mission Center” that will combine resources, capabilities and authorities from across the agency and direct them at Pyongyang.
“Creating the Korea Mission Center allows us to more purposefully integrate and direct CIA efforts against the serious threats to the United States and its allies emanating from North Korea. It also reflects the dynamism and agility that the CIA brings to evolving national security challenges,” CIA Director Mike Pompeo stated.
Professor Alexander Kubyshkin of St Petersburg State University told Radio Sputnik that the creation of the center is a reflection of US intentions in the region.
“It is worth noting that this is the first time for many years that the CIA has created a regional center, which is focused on US policy and on strengthening military-strategic cooperation with South Korea. This demonstrates the US’ growing attention to the situation on the Korean peninsula, in connection with the North Korean nuclear program and the new directions in American foreign policy.”
