North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Sunday called for an “exponential” increase in the production of nuclear weapons as tensions continue to soar on the Korean Peninsula.
In a statement released by North Korea’s state media, Kim said that Pyongyang must bolster its military to “safeguard our sovereignty, safety, and basic national interest to cope with the dangerous military moves by the US and other hostile forces that target us.”
He said that the current tensions “highlights the importance and necessity of mass producing tactical nuclear weapons and calls for an exponential increase of the country’s nuclear arsenal.”
North Korea launched a record number of weapons tests in 2022 as the US and South Korea resumed large-scale war games. According to The New York Times, Pyongyang launched 95 missiles, including some ICBMs, more than any other previous year.
North Korea ended 2022 by launching three ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan and began the new year by firing a short-range ballistic missile off of its east coast early Sunday morning.
Last year also saw the largest US-South Korean war games since 2017 as Seoul and Washington have pursued a policy of tit-for-tat escalations with Pyongyang. The US has also deployed bombers to the Korean Peninsula for the first time since 2017.
If the US was interested in holding talks with North Korea to defuse tensions, it would likely need to offer something, such as a pause in war games or an easing of sanctions. But The Biden administration has shown no interest in diplomacy as it maintains it seeks the “denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula, which is a non-starter for negotiations with Pyongyang.
“tactical”!? They need strategycal nuclear warheads and the means of delivering them to the target in order to deter any aggression… Big bangs straight into the US mainland!
Exactly every country nuke To deter Russia and USA emperial shit holes
That’s why we need Trump more than ever now.
Just keep building nukes… It would make our world better. 🥳
This happened because some people turned on the location on their mobile phone. Anonymized data and then destroyed by an anonymous missile. Everything is logical. Anyone can buy anonymized data and then track anonymized people, right down to their home address. What do you think of that? That’s good, because North Korea doesn’t have a cell phone because the US military to haven’t Norh Korean military location, don’t you think?
North Korean’s remember the last time american’s came calling. A USadmin ally had to broker a peace conference and install a parallel to extricate them from the mess they created.
When the USadmin bullies its way onto the naughty step, we shall see just how much support there really is in the south of the country for the failing empire thousands of miles away.
Great news God damn it! You gangsters eat this, L.A. no more.
