NORTH KOREA: The North Korean leader’s sister warns Joe Biden, mentioning that North Korea would combat further and show its military strength in light of the fresh nuclear deterrence agreement signed by both the United States and Korea. Kim says that Biden’s response was a “nonsensical remark from a person in his dotage”.
Following a summit that Biden attended on Wednesday with Yoon Suk-yeol, the president of South Korea, Kim Yo-jong introduced his attack. Any nuclear attack by North Korea against the US or its allies, the US president afterwards announced, would “result in the end of whatever regime” dedicated to such action.
Yoon and Biden’s meeting in Washington took place at a time when the pace of both North Korea’s weapon demonstrations and the collaborative US-South Korean military exercises was increasing in a cycle of reprisal.
Kim mentions, “It may be taken as a nonsensical remark from the person in his dotage who is not at all capable of taking the responsibility for security and the future of the US, an old man with no future, as it is too much for him to serve out the two-year remainder of his office term,” adding, “too miscalculating and irresponsibly brave”.
At the commencement of 2022, North Korea had tested approximately 100 missiles, which included a lot of demonstrations of ballistic missiles that were intercontinental and could easily reach the US mainland.
Kim says, “The more the enemies are dead set on staging nuclear war exercises and the more nuclear assets they deploy in the vicinity of the Korean Peninsula, the stronger the exercise of our right to self-defence will become in direct proportion to them.”
The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, is usually expected to significantly raise the stakes in the weeks or months to come as he continues to accelerate a campaign intended to cement the North’s credibility as a nuclear state and subsequently negotiate US financial and military compromises from a position of superiority.
