Why North Korea wants a war (sooner than you think) | Mapped Out

- North Korean weapons tests have become so common that they're often dismissed as empty threats. But with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un newly emboldened, another conflict with South Korea is no longer off the table. We're used to seeing missile launches from North Korea and dismissing them as empty posturing. But Kim Jong Un’s rhetoric has changed. And arms trade with Russia seems to be emboldening the North Korean leader. Is it about time we took him seriously?

#KimJongUn #NorthKorea #mappedout
A user has made us aware of an error in a world map shown in the video at 12:55. The map of Russia cuts off part of Siberia and wrongly shows Crimea as part of Russia. Crimea is part of Ukraine and was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014. This is shown in the map at 13:21. Thanks for pointing that out!
That may be so, but you’ve pointed out the reality since 2014
Crimea is part of Russia. In the 1991 referendum Russians living in Crimea legally voted to join Russia but the vote was never ratified. The population of Crimea want to be part of Russia.
@@amunra5330doesn't work that way, otherwise so many countries would vote to be part of the USA.
Also, by your logic, no Russians should be allowed to live anywhere else in the world because they would just vote to be part of Russia, and Russia will be glad to invade.
You transferred Crimea, which is actually controlled by Russia, to Ukraine, and you transferred Taiwan, which is not yet independent, from China. You really have two sets of standards.
That is unforgivable. Do better DW!
A solid video but it’s obvious the clickbait title was thought up later - no strategic or tactical reasons given as to why a war sooner than we think is actually what he wants
One possible reason if they actually were going to do it: if they knew (or speculated) that China will invade Taiwan soon, it might be a good idea for them to time their attack for the same time when US and the rest are already busy dealing with China. Maybe all 3 have some understanding: Russia goes first and they watch what happens, then China and NK follow.
Ha ha 0:28 How big? When? Don't know. Saved me 14 minutes.
Thanks for saving me time watching the video. I was hoping for a huge market crash so I could load up on cheap stocks.
N Korea is relatively peaceful compared to the one country everyone bIindIy follows. Not that I like N Korea - I don't. But I do find it interesting how the west portrays them as warrmongers. Coming from them, it really is funny.
Didn't see they said it at the beginning, he's starting to look at maps...
/s
The Ukraine war has allowed North Korea to sell its old outdated missles, rockets, artillery, ammo, and firearms to Russia. So that they can replace their stockpile with brand new ones. Plus it gives them insights into how their military equipment works in a war setting. So the war has been heavily benefiting them.
what brand new ones, from where?
can they even affoid to upgrade their 50s tanks??
@@g4m3r222Soo you think NK would sell their old weapons without replacing new ones?

North Korea is not interested in a war with the USA or SK. They launch rockets and make threats but they are not interested in a war. North Korea acquired nukes to guarantee the survival of the Kim dynasty. Starting a war would mean the end of the North Korean regime, the very thing the nukes were supposed to preserve. If however, the US or South Korea launch a preemptive strike on the North then they would use their nukes as a last resort to try and save the regime. North Korea is a poor country and nukes is what makes them relevant, that's why you constantly see launches they want to be in the headlines. They don't want to be seen as an insignificant country somewhere in Asia. If it wasn't for Nukes Kim would never have been able to negotiate with Trump and North Korea would be a forgotten land stuck in the 1950s.
South Korea has no reason to want to start a war with North Korea, especially when NK has thousands of missiles pointed at Seoul, and SK has a democratically elected government.
The best scenario is for China to leave North Korea alone instead of sustaining / helping them, so North Korea can sign a peace treaty and officially end the Korean War.
But you need China and Russia's cooperation to end the Korean War too, as they were also the signatories of the Armistice Agreement.
Cold War has never ended. Just stuck, thanks to China.
@@dannnsss8034Why would China ever agree to have 30K+ US troops along its border? As long as SK remains also strongly tied to the USA there is no logical reason for China to support reunification.
@@ojogbaneamedu2501 Exactly. Besides do they even want reunification anymore? both sides hate each other and are cultural opposites. Though they're both dystopian social experiments, so they have that in common.
@@dannnsss8034 For China and Russia to leave NK it would require the US to leave SK. That’s the game. as soon as the US is no peace treaty will be signed.
Weird why US wants nukes to be given up on reunification? You dont want then after unification to be nuclear when china can be ?
I think how far and how deep the cooperation between North Korea, China, Russia and Iran will go
will also depend on the behavior of the cooperation between South Korea, the United States and Japan.
One point worth mentioning is that China is North Korea's ally, not just a political ally, but China and North Korea have mutual defense treaty, if anything happens to North Korea in the future, China must help North Korea.
South Korea and the US are arguably the most compatible soldiers. They have the most military exercises together and are ready to fight at any moment. They go hand in hand.
😂😂😂😂@@dannnsss8034
@dannnsss8034 That's the main reason for not being able to reunify between north and south korea
@@dannnsss8034you know the fun thing south will have nukes when unifiying with north right away. But US doesnt want that its forcing denuclearization is must for reunification
Key phrase is defense in mutual defense treaty. If North Korea instigates a conflict, China is not obliged to help after they start getting whipped on the battlefield.
6:00 you know you’ve been looking at satellite images of North Korea for too long when you recognise the images showing on the news

He is angry about the Restrictions.

@@FedorSTR What I mean is that North Korea is such an extreme example, and because it's so small, BUT if there are any other similar examples I am missing there can't be many of them.

Ikr! The channel has even apologized for showing Crimea part of Russia. They will never do that with India
Putting arunachal pradesh as disputed is basically equivalent to recognizing the chinese claim as legitimate.
Why was everything in the NK map room blurred? Were there naughty pictures in the map room?

Documentary was going good then they started mentioning about sanctions for two independent countries, Russia and North Korea. What made DW think that two independent nations would give a damn about the rule some other countries make?
Remember Trump tweeted he will wipe North Korea off the map?

@@thegoat11111 cope harder sunny boy.
Um.....hey there DW, the NLL was drawn "later" as in 1953. The 'Kim dynasty" has ALWAYS claimed that South Korea is their principal enemy -- thus the 10,000 artillery pieces pointed at it since before you were born. Why did you select Bob Carlin and Jenny Town as spokespersons to reinforce this message? Of the 6000 North Korea experts you could have called, why did you pick those two? Care to tell your viewers what the Stimson Center is? And more importantly, when your editor asked you "what's new in this story" all you had to say was "nothing, we're just going to bash North Korea and get some clicks." Right? That's how it went, right? So the Tumangong rail station, built between 2008 and finished in 2012 has more rail cars on it now? Who could POSSIBLY have seen that coming? Thank GOD we have the Center for International Studies to tell us these things. Care to tell us who those tw*ts are? There is LITERALLY zero news in this segment, but your Florence Pugh chainsmoking voice will continue to serve you well kid.
Have been chatting on AI apps all weekend, hoping for any sign of inteIIigence, then read your post just now and spewed coffee out my nose on 'Florence Pugh'. Thank G-d! Now I have a new fetish besides Tony Blinken, faded rock guitarist.
Nuclear missile tech was given to N.Korea by Pakistan. This, while receiving big sums of money from the US.
This way or that way they own nuclear weapons and don't fear the end like that of Col. Muamar, Iraqi Saddam Hussain, Chilean.Venjuvellian, Panamanian heads of states & Iranian democratically elected PM's !!

And all the “poor quality” artilleries crushing NATO quality weapons
The fact you show a clear divide between North and South Korea but mix Taiwan with China on your maps is full of deceit considering this is the same situation.
No country on Earth, not even USA or UK, recognizes Taiwan apart from China.
The Toad Alliance imagines they will take back Korea, but they know China is a lost cause for them.
They really are not the same situation. North and South Korea are legally recognized as two different countries with their own separate seats by the UN. Legally speaking under international law we have "One China" but "Two Koreas".

this is just fearmongering. kim might be a bit angry, but he is not insane. he can not possibly believe he has a chance to win such a conflict.
Not alone, but with russia and China backing they have a path to take those islands. USA would be really hesitant to engage militarily if Russian and Chinese ships/ vessels are present.
As Joe Biden stated 'if russian and US troops are shooting at each other, that means WW3 has started.'
he doesn't, but his people need a distraction from their misery
Not “insanity “, but quite possibly “deluded”. A LOT o criminals are not insane, but are fully convinced themselves, that they CAN….
What kind of war are you talking about? Imagine this scenario: Russia puts more pressure on Ukrain, suddenly China starts invading Taiwan and the US needs all ressources to defend its crucial chip production. North Korea uses the heat of the moment and occupies one or two islands in South Korea, while threatening drastically, they will use nuclear weapons against south korea, if they "oppose their rightful seizing of territory". Then comes the question: Will South Korea really risk thousands of casualties and possible nuclear war, because of one or two small islands? It is quite possible, that Kim will risk it, when he thinks the US is busy with more important manners.

Those islands are south of the 32nd parallel, therefore they are part of South Korea. The north never invaded or occupied those islands during the war and that is why they remain in South Korean hands.
Man let me tell you, in the middle of the night I’m definitely thinking about North Korea, but then I wake up to reality and laugh so hard I fall back to sleep.
China: China and Russia has historically been North Korea's closest ally and largest trading partner. China has provided economic and political support to North Korea, although the relationship has sometimes been strained due to North Korea's nuclear tests and provocative actions.
North Korea is more acceptable as a neighbour than South Korea taking over North Korea to China's border!?!
The relationship between China and DPRK isn't strained! I am quite positively sure that every Chinese now understand North Korea's independent nuclear stockpile is very much necessary, a blessing, and allows the DPRK to deter any US ideas about "regime change" in China's front yard. And if the US is deterred, China won't be forced into another Korean war to keep the US out.
I dont think his military is prepared for a war. What practice do they have? It looks very theatrical.
South korea (divided nation) birth rate is 0.6, but military defense duty is still mandatory only for men (even men with poor health).

Hello DW, why do you say China is eyeing Taiwan? Since Taiwan is China which the whole world, including Germany agrees on and that the two parts will reunify.

@@kiranks3341 NATO members state don't actually want a war; they would suffer more from the South Korean economy being wiped out than they would benefit from the arms sales to South Korean.
NATO member states depend very heavily on South Korean electronics and shipbuilding, and a war, which would entail 100,000+ deaths and untold destruction to the Seoul metropolitan area would wipe out those industries and probable cause a global financial crisis.
I don't seriously believe NATO member state actually want that for any amount of weapons sales. Weapons are lucrative but they are not seriously so lucrative that crippling the global economy to sell them makes any financial sense.
S.korea dont want war. it was n.korea that always started conflicts
Well it will be testing the waters. Them islands look easy for him to take. If he just attacks the island South Korea might not be willing to defend without risking full scale war.
I thought this was showing on DW Documentary….
What kind of map (13:00) gives Crimea to Russia (which no one recognizes), and cuts the eastern most part of Siberia from Russia (which everyone recognizes as part of Russia)?
Many people think that North Korea is alone to face South Korea, the United States and Japan,
but in fact, China and North Korea have a mutual defense treaty, which means that if anything happens to North Korea, China must help North Korea,
and I think Russia will not just sit back and watch,
so in fact, it's North Korea, China and Russia vs South Korea, the United States and Japan, if anything happens to North Korea.
China is THE reason why North Korea still exists.
We (Allied forces with South Korea) were about to win the Korean War, but then China got involved and sent their human wave "volunteer" army across the China-North Korea border.
And then Canada, Australia, and the Philippines join our side, while NATO gets the green light for Russia engaging.
China better reigns in NK.
And UK, be sure of that
China has clearly stated that if Kim makes the first attack then they’re on their own.
So, was that limousine bugged?
War.... War never changes.....
Why is nobody concerned with a combined action by China and NK? Meaning that North Korea could start a limited strike on South Korea to keep the US busy, while shortly thereafter, China goes after Taiwan. From a Chinese perspective, this might be the most promising strategy, as a war between North Korea and the US/South Korea would not directly mean war with China and none of the western allies would be willing to fully invade North Korea. They would simply be busy trying to re-establish the old border.
This is exactly why China has kept North Korea around.
It has its uses in the long run.
"What if China starts WWIII" - I fail to see how this would work well especially when the US' supply/training centers around being able to fight two large scale wars at the same time. The biggest issue is how would China stop a US-China war from going nuclear and ending it a mass exchange of nuclear bombs.
@@David-kd4qr
You fail to see that because you are unaware of the fact that China is the world supply chain now.
Their industrial prowess dwarfs combined Western world + Russia several hundred times and their population outnumbers the West 1:3 ratio.
USA knows that a direct full scale war against China will always end up in defeat of the West, that's why it is longing for regional allies to take the blunt of the war in place of Western world directly.
It is also true that once taking heavy losses the USA will go nuclear to save itself. In such a scenario, China will either try to shoot down as much nukes it can and retaliate heavily with its hypersonic nuclear arsenal to end the USA quickly and hope to survive a portion of their civilization or choose to halt the war immediately and calls for a ceasefire at the current war position, defining the new borders.
China will most likely choose the latter rather than a nuclear exchange.
Well considering US is the strongest country in NATO and nosy as well.

Kim can live just as comfortable in a nuclear war. There's tunnels under the mountains in North Korea with his own bomb-proof train, and probably storage sites filled with Danish pork, Russian caviar, French vines and cognac to last several lifetimes. Just like Putin. These luxuries the South Korean leaders don't have, and and a comfortable situation an American administration can't recreate. The latter got bunkers, but I doubt anyone really want to go down into them and stay for a lifetime. So personally I'm not so comfortable about the idea of giving Kim and Putin the option of starting a war that civilization can't take. The question is rather if their egos is more satisfied with making their people happy, and again I'm thinking that they probably won't shed a tear from their own people getting fried at the surface of the planet, while they go live out their days in underground luxury, satisfied that they had completely destroyed all their enemies. And the last thought is perhaps their only weakness, since they will want to win, and that takes some planning.
4:20 they forgot to say how US wiped out northern penninsula with its bombs...
Ok, what's wrong with that?
True
With the backing of the UN...which means that it wasn't just the US, duh.
They skipped over a lot for brevity. I find it interesting that you would object to them omitting a mention of the US bombing of North Korea during the war but you are perfectly fine with them not mentioning the many horrific ways that the North Korean regime has abused and killed its own people in the decades since.
i find it interesting how your terrific periodic knowledge makes you describe a whole event between NK and SK, sealed in distorted and childish assumptions about West, North and South.

I'd say its more defensive posture, they don't have food to feed their army and require humanitarian aid to avoid starvation. China and Russia won't save them from that.
When they attacked the island in 2010 we were one more shelling from war, dense fog the next day saved us from total conflict.
I became suddenly unpopular in a humanitarian group by allowing the land mines can stay there long as N. Korea has all them soldiers across the DMZ, far as i'm concerned. My grandpa fought outta Chosin.
4:59 this is actually false. Before the agreement on halting the war, UN forces occupied nearly all islands along the west coast, one even bordering China. As a sign of peace, UN has given up on islands that are above 38th parallel. It's not disputed at all.

I keep trying to figure out how the Secret Service was protecting Trump in that shot at 11:44. I've seen it a few times over the years and I can't figure out how they did it, logistically. Did he really cross the border into NK? Or was that just some demarcation in the DMZ that didn't hold any diplomatic weight? Because as far as I cam tell, he was totally vulnerable for a few moments there. And since we're talking about a rogue state here, that's significant.

The West has made a serious strategic blunder in pushing Russia closer to China which in turn brought North Korea closer to them as well. Russia and China together would be the greatest threat to the United States in history and has been said as such by many US leaders and military officials. Unlike the Chinese, the Russian people used to feel much closer to Europe and the American people as compared to Asia so with diplomacy the West could have easily kept Russia away from China. But they have now failed and it was all for Ukraine and we'll see in the future if it was the biggest mistake they could have made.
A beautiful partnership. Who knows it might produce something beautiful. Like the Russian German partnership between the two world wars. It helped them conquer Central Europe together and then helped Germany almost conquer Russia.
Threatening the world? No that's a wrong statement to use
No , they don't. The need to prevent possible foreign aggression.
By threatening to wipe their neighbours off the map? Just like some certain civilisation in the Middle East who are still stuck in the middle ages while the rest of the world moves on with time?
Don't pick a fight with a small country you will loose your energy for a big country
