Boris Johnson backs Trump sending military to North Korea to stop 'nuclear Reservoir Dogs'

In a hard-hitting speech, the Foreign Secretary will
insist that the US President has "an absolute duty" to
protect his country and its allies against aggression by
the regime of Kim Jong-un.
He will also urge the US not to rule out a military
strike against the dictator's forces.
Mr Johnson's remarks will come in a speech today at
a conference about global security organised by the
Chatham House foreign affairs think tank.
He is expected to say: "Kim and the world need to
understand that when the 45th President of the United
States contemplates a regime led by a man who not
only threatens to reduce New York to ashes, but who
stands on the verge of acquiring the power to make
good on his threat, I am afraid that the US President –
whoever he or she might be – will have an absolute
duty to prepare any option to keep safe not only the
American people but all those who have sheltered
under the American nuclear umbrella."
Nuclear technology was made available for civilian
purposes, not to become a threat, said Johnsons

His
speech will focus on the role of the international
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in limiting the spread
of the weapons of mass destruction since 1970.
Diplomacy and dialogue are the only tried and tested
way of preventing nuclear war, the Foreign Secretary
will say.
Mr Johnson will highlight how after the Second World
War many countries decided to "wisely" accept the
protection of the "nuclear umbrella provided by the
US".

"Nations in both Europe and in Asia opted for this
protection, a commitment that must be rated one of
the greatest contributions by America to the
unprecedented epoch of peace and prosperity that we
have all been living through," Mr Johnson will tell the
conference in central London.
Boris Johnson's speech focused on the role of the
International Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
“And it was that American offer – that guarantee –
that made possible the global consensus embodied by
the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
“By this treaty 191 countries came together to
recognise the special role of the five existing nuclear
powers, and also to insist that there should be no
further dispersal of such weapons.
"Nuclear technology would be made available to other
countries, provided it was used exclusively for civilian
purposes.
"That was a great diplomatic achievement.

“It was an effort in which the UK – as one of the
leading upholders of the post-war rules based
international order – played a crucial role.
"That diplomacy has helped to make the world safer,
more secure, more confident and therefore more
prosperous.
“It has helped avoid what might otherwise have been a
Gadarene Rush to destruction, in which the world was
turned into a great arena of Mexican stand-offs, a
nuclear version of the final scene of Reservoir Dogs.
"That far-sightedness is now needed more than ever,
not only to keep the NPT, but also one of its most
valuable complementary accords, the nuclear deal with
Iran.”

The Foreign Secretary will argue that diplomatic
solutions are available in the North Korean crisis if the
regime changes course.
But the military option must remain on the table, Mr
Johnson will say.
"That is the model – of toughness but engagement,
each reinforcing the other – that we should have at
the front of our mind as we try to resolve the tensions
in the Korean Peninsula," he will say.
“This is the moment for North Korea’s regime to
change course."
The Foreign Secretary will conclude by warning of the
consequences of failing to reach a diplomatic solution,
saying: “A new generation has grown up with no
memory of the threat of a nuclear winter, and little
education in the appalling logic of mutually assured
destruction.
"The memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is now
literally fading from living memory.
“The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is one of the
great diplomatic achievements of the last century. It
has stood the test of time.
"In its restraint and its maturity it shows an
unexpected wisdom on the part of humanity, and
almost evolutionary instinct for the survival of the
species.
"It is the job of our generation to preserve that
agreement, and British diplomacy will be at the
forefront of the endeavour.”
