Kim Jong Un promises 'death blow' to his enemies, ignores our VIC

North Korea Supreme Leader for Life Kim Jong Un, held a meeting with his military officials last week and vowed an overwhelming assault on any possible enemy, totally ignoring the U.S. VIC [Vegetable In Chief] Joe Biden's request for "compamanonopan" [i.e., cooperation].

Kim made the statement on Wednesday while speaking at Kim Jong-il University of Military and Politics (Go Emaciates!) as reported by Yonhap News Agency. They said that Kim was poised to make a "death blow" to enemies.

"[Kim Jong Un] said that now is the time to be more thoroughly prepared for a war than ever before and that the DPRK should be more firmly and perfectly prepared for a war, which should be won without fail, not just for a possible war," North Korean state media reported.

"DPRK" stands for "Democratic People's Republic of Korea," the country's official name, but it's an oxymoron to believe that it belongs to the people.

"It is an immutable law of war victory to neutralize the numerical and military and technical superiority of the enemy by means of superiority in ideology and war methods," Kim Jong Un said in Korean, thoroughly confusing himself and Yonhap News Agency.

He reportedly added that "now is the time to be more thoroughly prepared for a war than ever before and that the DPRK should be more firmly and perfectly prepared for a war, which should be won without fail, not just for a possible war."

The dictator's aggressive tone shoots down any prospect of cooling tensions growing between North Korea, Japan, South Korea, and the U.S.

Alleged U.S. President Joe Biden mumbled an appeal Wednesday for Kim to accept a Japanese proposal for international talks.

"We welcome the opportunity of our allies to initiate dialogue with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea," Biden mush-mouthed during a joint press conference with Kishida. "As I’ve said many times, we’re open to dialogue ourselves without preconditions with the DPRK."

"The window of a discussion with North Korea is open," Kishida said at the same conference. "The establishment of a meaningful relationship between Japan and North Korea is in the interests of both Japan and North Korea and it could be hugely beneficial to the peace and stability of the region."

North Korea has taken an even more caustic international posture than usual in recent months, abandoning its symbolic goal of reunification with South Korea and declaring them their "primary foe" and "principal enemy."

US has N. Korea defector in custody after his months of detainment in the hermit nation

North Korea has released Travis King since holding him in detainment since July.

King has been held by North Korean authorities since July 18, when he reportedly made a dash toward the darkness of NoKo while with a tour group as he ran into the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that is between North and South Korea.

The government of North Korea stated on Wednesday that it was planning the return of U.S. Army Pvt. Travis King to U.S. custody according to state-run news agencies.

"The relevant organ of the [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] decided to expel Travis King, a soldier of the U.S. Army who illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK, under the law of the Republic," state media outlet Korean Central News Agency wrote, according to translations provided by Yonhap News Agency.

Since King's capture, there has been no contact with him and officials from North Korea have been intentionally vague when responding to U.S.'s begging for his return.

The incident occurred after the private finished approximately two months in a South Korean detention facility after he physically assaulted South Korean locals, according to a senior defense official who spoke with Fox News on Tuesday. He made it clear while being held in detention that he did not want to return to the United States, according to the official. 

King was released on July 10 and sent home to Fort Bliss where he faced additional military discipline under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and possible discharge from the military. He has faced no less than two additional assault-related allegations in South Korea.

He was fined $3,950 by the court in February as he was convicted of assaulting an unidentified person. He also damaged a police vehicle in Seoul in October of last year, according to a transcript of the verdict which was obtained by the Associated Press.

The deserter admitted to crossing into North Korea according to their state media and he allegedly told them he did so because of "inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army."

He was evidently upset that unlike BLM, he didn't get away with the violence he unleashed on people.

"During the investigation, Travis King confessed that he had decided to come over to the DPRK as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army," KCNA reported. "He also expressed his willingness to seek refuge in the DPRK or a third country, saying that he was disillusioned at the unequal American society."

Yeah, sure. 

King's mother, in an apparent effort to help her son avoid being charged with a high crime, disputed the reports from North Korea, saying that her son had no motivation to defect to the totalitarian nation. 

Maybe he just did a Biden and accidentally tripped over the DMZ into the arms of North Korea.

Kim Jong Un readies NoKo for nuclear attack on US , SoKo

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has demanded his hermit kingdom be ready to launch a nuclear attack as he accuses the U.S. and South Korea of carrying out military drills with U.S. nuclear assets, according to his propaganda media.

Kim's shoulder-rolling, ball-grabbing bravado carried by state media KCNA, came after his country launched a short-range ballistic missile toward the sea on Sunday. The missile streaked across the electricity-poor country and killed many fishes off its east coast, according to South Korean and Japanese assessments. They reported the missile traveled about 500 miles.

Kim oversaw the test. He was never very good at taking tests in school but said this exercise improved the military's war capability and highlighted the need to ensure its readiness posture for any "immediate and overwhelming nuclear counterattack" through performing such exercises. 

KCNA quoted the fearless chubster as saying the North "urgently" needed to bolster up its nuclear war deterrence exponentially as the enemies "are getting ever more pronounced in their moves for aggression against" his country, as if anyone cares to take it over.

"The nuclear force of the DPRK will strongly deter, control and manage the enemy's reckless moves and provocations with its high war readiness, and carry out its important mission without hesitation in case of any unwanted situation," Kim said.

The U.S. and South Korea have been carrying out military exercises as both country's navies and marine corps began their first large-scale Ssangyong amphibious assault exercises on Monday for the first time in five years. This will go on until April 3rd.

Kim views these exercises as a dress rehearsal to invade his country.

In another dispatch, KCNA said more than 1.4 million North Koreans have forcibly 'volunteered' to join or re-enlist in the military to fight against South Korean and US troops – up from some 800,000 enlistees reported over the weekend.

"Volunteer or die!"

NoKo fires missile over Japan, harsh words follow

North Korea is up to their old shenanigans again--they fired yet another missile over Japan which landed in the waters off the northern region of Hokkaido early Tuesday, according to South Korean and Japanese officials. This marks a sharp escalation of tensions and testosterone on the Korean peninsula and there is no doubt that harsh words are going to follow this dastardly deed.

The North Korean test appears to be that of the intermediate-range Hwasong-12 missile. It comes on the coattails of South Korean and U.S. military drills, to which North Korea strongly objects.

North Korea has conducted dozens of ballistic missile tests since corpulent Kim Jong Un became dictator. The most recent test, save this one, was on Saturday, but firing a missile over mainland Japan is rare and it is likely that leaders of Japan, South Korea and the U.S. will have something harsh to say about it.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe provided his honest analysis of the situation: "North Korea's reckless action is an unprecedented, serious and a grave threat to our nation."

Abe said his nation was seeking an urgent meeting at the UN to increase sanctions against Pyongyang. The test was a clear violation of UN resolutions and he said the government had protested against the move in the strongest terms. 

It is common knowledge that whenever a leader of a powerful nation condemns the actions of a rogue nation in the strongest possible terms, that it scares the rogue nation and causes them to stop and desist their malfeasance. 

Or not.

And even South Korea condemned the launch. "We will respond strongly based on our steadfast alliance with the United States if North Korea continues nuclear and missile provocation," SoKo's foreign ministry said.

It appears that the President of South Korea, Moon Jai-in, who was hoping to work things out with Kim Jong-Un and his gang, is having second thoughts.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the last NoKo missile fell into the sea 735 miles east of the Cape of Erimo on Hokkaido. The Japanese J-Alert system (the Japanese version of our Conelrad system) broke into radio and TV programming, interrupting thousands of "My Inscrutable Pillow" commercials, warning citizens of the possible missile. Warnings went out over loudspeakers in towns in Hokkaido and bullet trains services were halted.

Global markets reacted to the new escalation in tensions as gold shot up and stocks sold off. Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell almost 1 percent and South Korea's KOSPI index was also down a similar percentage.

The South Korean military said the missile was launched from the Sunan region near Pyongyang just before 6 a.m. and flew 1,680 miles, reaching an altitude of about 340 miles.

Naive (or worse) Secretary of State Rex Tillerson tried to make a peace overture to North Korea last week, welcoming what he referred to as restraint shown by Pyongyang recently in its weapons programs by not conducting any tests since July.

Too bad Rex--it sounded good when you first said it, but you apparently don't know what you're twanging about.

Masao Okonogi, professor emeritus at Keio University ("Go Shitzus!") said that North Korea believes that by showing their nuclear capability, that this will open the path to dialogue with other nuclear power nations.

"That logic, however, is not understood by the rest of the world, so it's not easy, Okonogi said.

The Japanese military didn't try to shoot down the missile, which passed over their territory around 6:07 a.m. local time. It broke into three lucky pieces and fell into waters off Hokkaido, Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported.

The Pentagon confirmed the missile's path over Japan and said it didn't pose a threat to North America so harsh words against the launch should suffice.

North Korea says that it will never give up its weapons programs and technically, the Korean War has not ended. The fighting from 1950-53 ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, and the North says their weapons are necessary to counter what they see as U.S. hostility.

In a letter sent Monday by the North Korean mission to the UN, they had again asked the UN Security Council to meet in order to discuss the U.S.-South Korean military exercises.

The letter from NoKo UN Ambassador Ja Song Nam called the military exercises a "grave threat" to the Korean peninsula and international peace and security.

In an Onion-esque statement it read: "It is the fair and square self-defensive right of the DPRK to cope with reckless, aggressive war maneuvers and the U.S. would be wholly responsible for any catastrophic consequences to be entailed from the result," Ja wrote, sounding like an abusive husband blaming his wife.

Similar previous requests have fallen on deaf eyeballs by the 15-member Security Council.

In early August, the Security Council unanimously imposed new sanctions on the hermit nation in response to two long-range missile tests in July.
