A British diplomat recently claimed that the US is “looking at a whole range of military options” with North Korea as tensions rise on the country’s peninsula.
Tim Willasey-Wilsey, a former ambassador that worked with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for over 27 years, has stated that whether through diplomatic or military efforts, the US will do everything to prevent despot leader Kim Jong-un from gaining nuclear capabilities.
He said: “There are now three United States carrier strike forces operating in the Pacific for the first time since 2007. The USS Nimitz, USS Ronald Reagan and USS Theodore Roosevelt represent tangible evidence of American military power.
“General Joseph Dunford has described their presence as ‘coincidental’, but of one thing we can be sure: far from being a matter of chance, the deployment will have been carefully considered in Washington.
“In all likelihood, these ships are already equipped with the military capabilities required to support action against North Korea – in particular, the cruise missiles carried by the escort vessels.
“For now, the focus is on diplomacy. That is why Donald Trump is touring Asia this week, rattling his sabre during a visit to Japan and soon set to visit Beijing too.
“In that context, the presence of the carriers is doubtless intended to reinforce the message to China that the United States cannot tolerate a nuclear-armed North Korea.”
The former diplomat inferred that the key to dealing with the rogue nation without the use of military action lies with persuading China to increase its stranglehold on the hermit kingdom through sanctions.
However, despite Beijing’s seeming compliance surrounding the rogue nation, Mr Willasey-Wilsey believes the increased pressure on Kim Jong-un’s isolationist state may be too little too late.
He stated: “Yet there will be scepticism in both Beijing and Washington whether Chinese sanctions can deliver a compliant North Korea in an acceptable timeframe.
“It will be difficult for China to bring the Kim regime to heel –even with the United States willing to provide assurances, both to Pyongyang and Beijing, that Washington would recognise a non-nuclear North Korea and that the US has no territorial ambitions on the Korean peninsula.
“So the carrier strike forces have another purpose in case all of this fails. That purpose is, obviously, a military one.
“In anticipation of the failure of Chinese diplomatic and economic pressure, the Pentagon will have been looking at the whole range of military options.
“None of them is attractive and all of them are risky.”
