Russia's Security Policy

Russia's security policy is based on the concept of "sphere of influence." Russia views the former Soviet republics as its sphere of influence, and it has been willing to use military force to protect its interests in these countries. Russia is also concerned about the expansion of NATO eastward, which it sees as a threat to its security. In response to these threats, Russia has pursued a policy of military modernization and has increased its military spending.

Russia's security policy has been criticized by some as being too aggressive. However, Russian leaders argue that it is necessary to protect Russia's interests in a dangerous world.

Korea's Security Policy

Korea's security policy is based on the principle of "self-reliance." Korea does not rely on any other country for its security, and it has developed a strong military to defend itself. Korea is also a member of the United Nations, and it participates in international peacekeeping operations.
