The US actions in response to provocative actions by North Korea are absolutely justified; The US carrier carrier group off the coast of the DPRK is an extremely effective preventive measure.

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by Lieutenant-General Dmitry Umanets.

The general said that he considers unjustified and dangerous the actions of the leadership of North Korea. "When there is intimidation of each other, even while without practical action - this is already dangerous. Who is going to attack it? It is unlikely that it was attacked by the United States or Russia. It seems to me that not much is needed for someone, "he said..

At the same time, Umanets considers "absolutely correct" the response from the US. "As a military man, I welcome these actions. In order not to spread nuclear weapons in the world in order to somehow suppress the actions of such tyrants as this young man - Kim Jong-un - one must take preventive measures ".

In this context, the general drew attention to the fact that the carrier group "can destroy the DPRK in about 15-20 minutes", so it is an effective deterrent.

"If the world does not react to North Korea's actions, then the DPRK, like Putin, will spread terrorism around the world," Umanets believes.

As the Observer wrote, the US Anti-Ballistic Missile Agency reported that on May 30 the latest US air defense system successfully intercepted a ballistic missile.
