In the case of an open military confrontation between the United States and the DPRK, the first blow of the US will not be nuclear - they will most likely strike a missile strike on one of North Korea's military objectives; Despite friendly relations, Russia will not interfere in this confrontation.

Such an opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the ex-Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Lieutenant-General Igor Romanenko.

According to his estimates, the confrontation between the nuclear powers is "heating up" - "this is obvious".

To a large extent, the general assigns responsibility for this to the United States, in particular, to the new president of the country, who "is already getting used to the job, enters the taste, begins to understand the situation, listen to his specialists". Romanenko recalled that North Korea's nuclear ambitions remained the same - the reaction to them from the White House changed.

According to the general's forecasts, "Kim Jong-no will most likely not be allowed to build up nuclear capabilities, primarily the US and its allies".

Assessing the danger of the Third World War, Romanenko noted that, on the one hand, Britain is not ready today to enter into a nuclear conflict with Russia. On the other hand, Russia will not interfere in the nuclear conflict between the United States and the DPRK, if it takes place. "Russia in its own way supports North Korea, but it will not fight, including in a nuclear war,. I think China's position is important here. It seems that at the current moment the US and China have agreed, "Romanenko noted..

At the same time, he suggested that in the situation of the acute phase of the US-DPRK confrontation, "I do not think that the US will immediately strike nuclear weapons. If something happens, it will be about strikes on the bases with high-precision weapons, the same Tomahawks ".

At the same time, if North Korea uses nuclear weapons, the scale of the disaster will be local, not global, the General.

As the "Observer" wrote, earlier Igor Romanenko told about Khrushchev's plans to flood the UK, which have not been forgotten in the Kremlin.
