Yes it was a bar it was a bargaining chip it is a Legal Process by the United States department of justice designed to bring someone who we believe we have sufficient information to bring back the other states under the agreement between the that its very straightforward russia and the u. S. Have accused each other of risking a new arms race at the Un Security Council the mission was requested by russia and china to discuss washingtons testing of a land based Nuclear Capable misao the test comes after Washington Post out of a cold war era missile treaty she had her tonsils reports from the United Nations. It took just over 2 weeks for the u. S. To test a land based intermediate range tomahawk missile following its withdrawal from the intermediate range Nuclear Forces or i. N. F. Treaty in early august the agreement signed at the height of the cold war between washington and moscow in 1907 led to the destruction of thousands of missiles that long been a source of fear for europeans it was clear their countries would be the battleground in any nuclear war the u.

Japan has described south koreas decision to withdraw from an intelligence sharing agreement as the progress of the 2 countries along kind of bitter round of trade and japans wartime atrocities and the last century but lets get more on this now were joined by Robert Kennedy professor of International Relations at Tucson National university and hes joining us from busan and south korea mr kelly always a pleasure to have you with us on the as they are told lets talk us through what you think this latest decision by salt told us about how it views japan and its so how it views north korea right now yeah this is sort of been a while and coming from the americans help sort of twist the arms of south korea and japan especially south korea into this im about a decade ago theres a lot of lingering historical animosity in south korea because of the way japan behaved in south korea during the war this is sort of been papered over to a certain extent by American Alliance management the trump ministration doesnt really put much stake in that has really got involved in this very much and so these sort of tensions that have been below the surface for a while sort of erupted here is accelerated by the fact that you have a sort of left wing nationalist administration in south korea which is wants to be tough on japan on the other hand you have a right wing nationalist administration in japan writes youve got sort of like the worst of both worlds if you will and its the sides and thats just sort of at its fuel to the fire and while south korea and japan dispute continues as north korea the when they hear i mean what could saul end this intelligence pact mean for. Nuclear program. Yeah i mean most important thing probably is that it means for the japanese it means less direct information from the South Koreans immediately about what the North Koreans are doing right i mean what exactly is exchanges and under wraps i dont really entirely know we have sort of vague sense of it but i mean the really the important issue with us whos the winner is the big winner is north korea but beyond that really its china right i mean its you know north korea is always sort of like very far behind economically right its Nuclear Weapons change that a little bit but you know north korea is fundamentally a pariah state and isolated its really china thats on the rise out here right and you see this discourse in the United States with a trade war and if were going to actually sort of counter chinese have gemini or domination or whatever in the next 20 or 30 years were going to need coordination among allies out here and that means from the center korea and japan so in the short term the winner is north korea but in the medium term its china the meetings between the south korean and Japanese Foreign minister taking place in beijing do you expect them to get in any way here not at the moment i mean this is another step forward or another step backward this will worsen relations on the japanese are going to see this is sort of a hardening a south korean attitudes and the japanese will probably respond in kind i the thing this is going to go on until theres some kind of American Intervention that allows the 2 of them to make a concession to washington as opposed to each other right in dealing with each other it looks like a 0 sum competition so its easier to consent to the americans but trump has an interest in my sense is probably going to drag on until these christmas and there be some kind of partial tepid resolution in the new year thats to carry thank you as always for your time on that as well but kelly thank you live and south korea thank you.
