US actions against North Korea lead to global catastrophe. This is convinced by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. In his opinion, the power variant of developments on the Korean peninsula is disproportionate to the threat of Pyongyang's nuclear missile program, and excessive pressure on the North Korean regime will be a dangerous mistake.
"Serious concern is the deterioration of the situation around the Korean Peninsula, related to Pyongyang's ongoing implementation of nuclear missile programs and a disproportionate build-up under the pretext of the North Korean threat of military activity by the United States and its allies in the region," Lavrov said, speaking at an international security conference in Moscow.
At the same time, in his opinion, the deployment of American anti-missile systems THAAD in the south of the peninsula is a serious destabilizing factor in the region, since "the presence of an anti-missile umbrella can lead to an increase in the illusion of invulnerability and impunity, give rise to the temptation to unilateral steps in solving global and regional problems, Including the lowering of the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons ".
We are already seeing how the US declares its readiness to deliver a preemptive strike against the DPRK to a place and out of place, but few people wonder what will then turn north-east Asia. In this war and chaos can spread even further.
Since the world's security is also adversely affected by the "development of non-nuclear strategic weapons", to which the lion's share of the US budget goes, and "countering the conclusion of agreements on the non-deployment of weapons in outer space," Lavrov said, noting that a lot of questions are caused by the reluctance of the United States and a number of other states "Ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty".
In turn, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev during a speech at the Moscow conference stressed that the problem of the Korean peninsula can not be underestimated, including, because the conflict is provoked from outside.
