The United States and South Korea had announced a possibility on Friday that two nations would be joining in a military response against North Korea. This would happen if there is another act of provocation in the region from the North Korean leaders.
Last November, North Korea engaged in the act of shelling a South Korean island. This led to the Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and South Korean Defense Minister, Kim Kwan-jin together threatened North Korea that a counterattack would happen if North Korea was irresponsible again.
Mr. Panetta said that "We can provide strong and effective responses to those kinds of provocations if we work together and if we develop the kind of coordinated response that we think is necessary." All statements were a large part in showing South Korea support because the country has grown weary and anxious about attacks from North Korea. When North Korea had attached the South Korean island last November, several civilians were killed, and South Korea felt that there should have been a stronger response even though they attempted to fire back.
We can see that a huge support system has been established for South Korea because of the devastating attacks from North Korea. At the news conference, Panetta and Kim repeatedly demanded that North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons program because act of nuclear weapons pose as a "serious" and "grave" threat to the world.
By the end of the conference, they both planed to complete an American-South Korean "counterprovocation" plan (by the end of this year) to map out how both countries would respond if there were to be another North Korean attack.
