The United States is now joined by South Korea and Japan in applying pressure against the unhinged regime of Kim Jong Un, but will Pyongyang react rationally as stress mounts?
The United States, Japan, and South Korea will be conducting their first joint military training exercise next month, focusing on detecting and responding to North Korea missile launches, a Seoul defense official said Monday.
The joint drills begin on June 28, and will coincide with biennial multinational naval exercises held in Hawaii between June and August, which the three countries normally attend.
The trilateral drills signal concern that the Pyongyang regime may stage a coup if Kim Jong Un loses control due to the worsening economic situation in the country.
In addition to bellicose rhetoric, the North Korean administration recently engaged in a wave of ballistic missile launches, nuclear tests, and now claim to possess the advanced miniaturization necessary to launch a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile toward the United States.
