Winter war games

Today it became known about the successful launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles by North Korea. This event becomes even more interesting due to two key factors.

First, the aggravation of the situation around the DPRK nuclear missile program is a threat to the safe holding of the Winter Olympic Games in South Korea. Secondly, official Washington is only waiting for such actions from Pyongyang to tear off its military might. In this regard, the introduction of the martial law in DPRK in January 2018 is evident, which will automatically lead to an aggravation of the military and political situation in the region. The United States has already demonstrated its attitude to the upcoming winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, banning representatives of the leading hockey league of the NHL to participate in the games. In addition, most of the leading American TV channels refused to broadcast the Olympics on their air. All this indirectly indicates that the US is ready to unleash a military conflict on the Korean peninsula. Any of the parties to the conflict at any stage of the conflict can use weapons of mass destruction. In addition, long-range artillery and missile systems of the DPRK will first destroy the strategic infrastructure of South Korea: energy, transportation and chemical facilities. In this regard, the security of thousands of athletes and millions of fans from around the world raises great doubts.

A number of sports experts and representatives of law enforcement agencies have already expressed themselves in the press and on the pages of Internet publications that it would be advisable to transfer the Olympics to another country, for example, to Germany. Germany has all the necessary sports and tourism infrastructure to host such a large-scale event. At present, there is no hotter geopolitical point in the world than the Korean peninsula. Moreover, on the peninsula there are militant neighbors supported by the two powers of the United States and the PRC. In any case, no matter how unpredictable events develop, the DPRK can use the olympiad as a strategic element of its military campaign. At the same time, the olympiad is unlikely to stop the US authorities from unleashing a conflict provoked by Pyongyang.
