Summary

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un urged a “limitless” expansion of the country’s nuclear program to counter what he called US-led threats, citing escalating military cooperation between the US, South Korea, and Japan.

In a speech to military commanders, Kim emphasized war preparations and criticized US support for Ukraine, accusing Washington of using Ukraine to extend its influence.

This comes after North Korea deployed an estimated 10,000 troops to assist Russia in its war against Ukraine, further strengthening ties between Pyongyang and Moscow under a recently signed pact.

I thought his military was already at war and had been so since the nation’s inception?

They sure make hay out of the fact that there’s never been a peace treaty.

They ate all the hay. Now they saber rattle to get more.

I wonder if North Korea would inflict more casualties than the amount of people defecting from their military. Their border is obsessively controlled so good luck having a bunch of troops near civilization and keeping them.

South Korea should retaliate by airdropping PornHub gift cards on them.

Why does he have to “urge” them. Isn’t he in charge of them?

If you think “being in charge” and “urging” are incompatible, I would encourage you to talk to someone with young kids who think chicken nuggets and Frozen are the only acceptable dinner/movie options.
