On Saturday, North Korea announced that nearly 3.5 million workers, party members and soldiers volunteered to join or rejoin its army in order to retaliate against the US agressive actions and the recent United Nations sanctions.
The announcement is another sign that the tension is dramatically growing between Pyongyang and Washington.
According to Rodong Sinmun, North Korea’s official newspaper, a total of 3.475 million people had offered to join or rejoin the People’s Army after the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) issued a statement condemning new sanctions imposed on North Korea.
“All the people are rising up across the country to retaliate against the US thousands of times. In North Hwanghae Province, 89,000 young men pleaded to enlist or reenlist on Aug. 9 alone. In Daedong County of South Pyongan Province, more than 20,000 students, party members and laborers filed enlistment or reenlistment requests,” the newspaper said.
Separately, the KCNA reported that rallies of youth, workers and trade union members took place at the Youth Park Open-Air Theater and the compound of the Monument to Party Founding on Friday to express the government decision to reject the recent sanctions resolution.
brainwashed idiots
Well it’s not like telling Little Kim to fight this one himself is an option for them; let’s be happy that we are not in their shoes. All in all a pretty moronic title above this article, though it does remind us of the potential bodycount if this party gets started for real.
If any of the locals have some agency it’d presumably be the South Koreans, but so far they haven’t made themselves heard in a decisive way. I guess that once in office, Mr. Moon has been made to understand why it is again that Washington gets to be called a superpower. Also, Korea has a Deep State of its own, with little sign that it feels accountable to the (South) Korean people.
The Deep State is the one that all civilized people should be digging out of their governments. Especially the the US.
And pointless too. The Nork army is totally outdated and outclassed in any conventional fight, they might as well disband it. There’s a reason the Norks want nukes so badly.
I guess it makes for good propaganda for their homefront.
I want to remind you what happened in Vietnam and Afghanistan….
The weapons might be outdated , but the North Korean can (RTFM) read the focking manual , which is not the case of a lot of US troops who use cartoons to understand the rudiments of their equipment ! Can a us soldier or gunner work without gps !? No ! On the other hand a North Korean officer can probably do all his calculations with a pocket calculator or even a calculating ruler ! Underestimating the enemy is the worst thing you can do
I’m going to hazard a guess and say your NK service can probably all do the necessary calculations inside that thingie between their ears.
Well they aren’t more totally outdated and outclassed than the Taliban – and we all know just how well and easily the Jerk-offs crushed that lot.
They think the same of us
they do not think. they have bakelit instead of brain, and side1 and side 2.
Most of the World think the US is a brainwashed nation of idiots which wouldn’t be that far-fetched when you compare some of their statements on the matter.
americans are simple people. but in korea was really brainwashing.
North Koreans grew up with the realities of the failed US aggression in their country. Explain how is that brainwashing in comparison to the Hollywood image of the Good Guy, US the invincible , Tough guy always helping the little guy out ,doing the honorable thing.
This definitely brainwashing 101 using this type of imagery to conjure up this facade of invincibility and helping others it’s more like weak and frail and afraid that others might dispel their tiny deluded vision of their world.
They might be responding to the likes of Lindsey Graham saying we should “completely destroy North Korea” and Trump saying North Korea would be met with “Fire and Fury which the world has never seen”. They used language that isn’t just targeted at the Government of NK, but the country itself as a whole. The people are terrified, brainwashed or not.
so, if rain nuke bombs, automatically dies everybody.
but these brainewashed greet the nuclear war with america ;)
btw., kimchi is as wrong dictator like were in 30ties adolf and koba
The missiles wouldn’t be launched as a potential war with China and Russia would ensue not a good prospect for the US. The current Congress and Senate are not that much more different from the old Demagogues of the long deceased Roman Senate.This is pretty much what happened in Rome and caused the demise of it and the collapse of the Empire .
Hmm.. seems even brainwashed idiots don’t want Americunts dropping in uninvited.
these wanr to attack america. these idiots want nuclear war. hm…
No they don’t silly boy. They know damn well that if they attacked ANYONE that would negate the mutual defense pacts they have with China and Russia.
BTW – it’s HIGHLY unlikely your govts don’t know about those treaties – but they don’t tell you ….. WHY?
Could it be they want you think NK is a threat so that when they attack NK you’ll all be good sheeple and line up in front of the cannons like good fodder should?
Your are completily wrong !!
3.5 m Koreans Are Craving For War With The US
The title is a bit misleading. They want to defend themselves. They are not craving for war like the US is. Besides they can hardly hurt the US mainly just S Korea.
True – but they have a Very Big Brother who’s said he will hurt the US’ers if they hurt his little brother.

They were told to volonteer or else.
So this is fake news or should have been commented upon.
This is a fake crisis by trumped up superego’s on both sides.
Both should be taken out off their offices, nobody needs warmongerers.
Of course they were. No North Korea would EVER want to defend his own country against the nice and kind, simply WONDERFUL Americunts – they all bring chocolate for the children.
NordKoreans are able to target many regions and cities in the USA. Thats the reason why USA have never attacked NordKorea.
As the indispensable exceptional nation and clearly the master race the usa can easily defeat all and any it chooses. Their power is without parallel. But none the less they keep on being beaten by rag tag armies with old equipment. There was no victory in Afghanistan . Vietnam saw them booted out. Even in Korea the last time they tried their forces could not prevail. I know american pride has it that they were not really trying. Sure the usa always fights without commitment.
Strangely I don’t quite see them so much as exceptional as despicable.
Call it for what it is; Exceptionalism = Facisum!
If they want to communicate to the US “we are ready for you” then a poster depicting a Mao-era peasant army may not be the way to do it. Does DPRK even have functioning air defenses?
Does DPRK even have functioning air defenses? ———– Well, the Americans appear to think they’re gonna nuke them in about 45 minutes.
Nobody with half brain thought America would nuke NK, there are lots of countries around that would be affected by radiations, however a shower of tomahawks from submarines would make 3.5 million useless and starving.
Correct. I expect the Americunts to drop tonnes and tonnes of bombs, white phosphorous and depleted uranium on them. You know – standard operating procedures.
You just said you expect to nuke them in 45 mins, now i know i’m talking with a chatbot.
Perhaps YOU oughta read with a little comprehension and understanding? Or are those 2 jawbreakers too big for you to sound?
Is that a random reply or any AI involved?
Well, the Americans appear to think they’re gonna nuke them in about 45 minutes.
You tell me – suggest you look up the actual meaning of the word “appear” first and then try to figure out – more or less will do – what “appear to think” means.
You’d have to stop there because sarcasm is way out your ballpark.
Start training guys – chances are better than good that those Yanks are coming to kill you again.
I think, Spunick is missleading the news. North Korea is preparing to denfense its country. They are not prepering to invade USA, do they ? Please Spunik try to coordinate your brain.
Somethings always get lost in the translation to english which is a very nuanced language and beyond most to comprehend it’s subtleties and meaning of the words. The North Koreans expressed support for their governments rejection of the sanctions ,which is expected of people loyal to the DPRK government and country. Them willing to re enlist in the defense of their country is very admirable, considering it’s the US who does all the aggressive military posturing and continued political aggressive rhetoric to those not with them.
The US is becoming more unstable in it’s military and political posturing around the world , they seem to have the same views and paranoid and delusional thinking the Israelis do. That everyone is their enemy and out to get them sounds like the same mentality in they use in law enforcement. There is a time when people usually are treated for this but I think it is something that can’t be dealt with properly and the final solution is the only option. This would only be to protect the world from this deranged nation of psychotics, the US has become what it has feared.
