Creating an enemy outside of the state is a century-old technique used by many before Kim Jong-un. North Korea is a chess piece within the geopolitical struggle going on in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, between the old powers (US and Europe) and the emerging countries (BRICS and other Asian states). A conflict can erupt in just one sparkle - much like the First World War started for a single shot! Does it worth it and for whom?
It is more
than a ‘hot’ topic within international politics. North Korea has declared void
its armistice with South Korea, makes threats to South Korea and the US about
its destruction by nuclear warfare.
