North Korea continues to spark fears of World War 3 and the nuclear threat is not just Japan’s and South Korea’s problem, says Yale professor Stephen Roach.
The senior fellow at Yale University told CNBC News Kim Jong-un’s progression in terms of nuclear weapons capability is putting Donald Trump in a difficult position.
He said: “There’s been a progression that North Korea has made in terms of nuclear weapons capability and missile delivery capability and we are now at a very dangerous point.
“The threat of North Korea is something that can be projected not just as a regional problem into Japan and obviously South Korea, but now to mainland United States as well as China.”
On Monday, Donald Trump’s national security advisor Herbert Raymond McMaster announced the US is going to deal with North Korea even if China and Russia won’t help.
He said: “There’s a real grave danger to China, to Russia, to all nations from a North Korea that is armed with nuclear weapons.
“That is not in China’s interests. It’s not in Russia’s interests. So what the President is saying is, we all need to take care of it.”
According to Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters, China is failing to cooperate in an attempt to preempt a North Korean strike.
He said: “The Chinese are trying to have it both ways. They’ll pursue some sanctions to placate us for a few months, but they’re not really cracking down.
“Plus you’ve got Vladimir Putin allowing a mass of smuggling regime between Russia and North Korea, and from Russia and Far East. This is really really tough.”
