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.

coming through the gap
يندفقون من الفجوة


Explanation:
The "gap" in the USA defence systems. It is a conceptual metaphor, so you may want to play with a bit of paraphrasing. Like
سيندفقون من فجوة دفاعهم or whatever.
