| English term or phrase: Coming through the gap | Inside the old Cold War command centre, the world's most powerful nation prepares for attack from new enemies.
I would say, sort of, conceptually perhaps, the Korean peninsula is one of the most dangerous places in the world.
On the strength of such a threat, the United States is preparing to tear up arms control agreements, spend a fortune, risk a foreign policy catastrophe and a new arms race.
It is not a serious threat to the territory of the United States. But the United States has reacted to it as if it's a resurgence of a Soviet threat, as if we're in danger of the North Koreans coming through the gap at any moment. |
