Kim Jong-un has unveiled a huge new nuclear missile at a military parade in the North Korean capital Pyongyang.

The tyrant began shedding tears while making a rare speech as he took centre stage during the massive midnight parade, held to mark the 75th anniversary of the country’s ruling party.

The parade was highly choreographed, with thousands of goose-stepping troops marching in formation accompanied by tanks and other vehicles.

It culminated with Kim taking to the podium to address the nation as the clock struck midnight.

The widely anticipated first appearance of North Korea's new nuclear missile was the climax of the display.

The US Department of Defense later said it would be consulting with its Asian allies to analyse the parade.

Experts said the missile, which was shown on a transporter vehicle with 11 axles, would be one of the largest road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in the world if it becomes operational.

Also displayed were the Hwasong-15, which is the longest-range missile ever tested by North Korea, and what appeared to be a new submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).

Kim said the missiles weren't targeted at any country in particular.

But he added: "If any force harms the safety of our nation, we will fully mobilize the strongest offensive might in a pre-emptive manner to punish them."

Chad O'Carroll, CEO of the Korea Risk Group, which monitors North Korea, said more new military hardware had been displayed at this event than at nearly any other previous parade.

Earlier, Kim was emotional and crying visibly as he thanked North Korean citizens for “zero” cases of Covid.

He also took what appeared to be a swipe at the Donald Trump and the United States, which has world's highest number of Covid cases.

"I wish good health to all the people around the world who are fighting the ills of the evil virus," he said.

The video showed Kim make his midnight appearance.

Dressed in a grey suit and tie, he waved to the crowd and accepted flowers from children while surrounded by military officials wearing rows of medals.

During his speech, Kim repeatedly thanked his “great people” for overcoming unexpected burdens and abiding by the anti-virus measures imposed to keep the country .

The claim has been widely questioned by outside observers.

Kim also extended an olive branch to rival South Korea and said he wanted to “hold hand” with the country – which the North is still technically at war with.

State television began broadcasting edited video of the event later on Saturday after a day of silence about the parade, which was held in Pyongyang's recently renovated Kim Il Sung Square.

Troops were seen marching in the streets in front of the brightly illuminated square.

A military band performed while moving in formation, shaping 10.10, 1945, and 2020" in honour of the anniversary.

Satellite photos had shown Kim Jong-un's military secretly preparing for the event, and experts believe Pyongyang may offer up a "surprise" for the West.

A senior U.S. administration official on Saturday called North Korea's display of a previously unseen missile "disappointing" and called on it negotiate to achieve a complete denuclearization.

"It is disappointing to see the DPRK continuing to prioritize its prohibited nuclear and ballistic missile program over working towards a brighter future for the North Korean people," the official said, using the official name of North Korea.

If only this short man devil knows that buhari doesn't fear him a bit..

Let him try and attack any Nigerian facility and see north Korea go down in history.


Yeeeeee Who slapped me


My Analysis... His generals only laughs when he laugh. Not because they wants to laugh, but they have to laugh because he laughed...

See the picture below for analysis..

From Left to Right.
1st man doesn't want to laugh bcoz he knows it is not worth laughing... But he has to be careful dt the Short man devil did not see him..

2nd man, the laugh was kinda genuine.. He didn't force it.

3rd man: this man ehn, he forced himself to. Laugh and over laugh.. Don't blame him, he Might get promoted for that... He seems to even laugh more than the devil in black ..


I will take buhari 100x over north Korea and this short man devil. Atleast Buhari Is still an upcoming dev*l

The only thing this fat short man knows is making weapons while his people die of hunger!


#EndSARS #EndSARSNow

Arrrrrrrh


Stupidity, Misplaced Priority.

They can post what ever he tell them to post, since nobody can post any Rubbish. Secure nation internet that's thier handiwork.

When people are dying because of corona this man, the only thing he knows is weapon.

Kim have never been on the news for any good reason rather than weapons, missiles, bomb.

A wicked man end is always miserable so that other can learn a lesson. Power dont last long.

Is there another definition of weeping that I don't know of please ... Because that face i am seeing there is happily SMILING

Lmao... So you really believe that?

For a country that is so isolated from the world and has been under heavy sanctions, it's citizens are definitely enjoying better development than Nigerians.

I mean, is there anywhere in your country that looks as good as the photos below?
I DARE you to name one place/state, just one...

Yes their government maintains control, but don't underestimate the country – Educationally, they are doing okay. Industrially, Technologically, and when it comes to infrastructure, they are doing quite well.
The Nigerian military is still buying fairly-used attack helicopters from Russia yet they will announce and parade it like they have achieved something...

People who are hungry and starving can not be responsible for developing that country to a good enough standard, especially when we know that NK does not allow foreigners in willy-nilly... meaning they did it all by themselves, with some help from the Chinese of course.

It's not like in Nigeria where the few skyscrapers you boast of are all built by foreign companies.

The US Department of Defense later said it would be consulting with its Asian allies to analyse the parade.

What do they want to analyze? This police country sef... LOL

Have they finished analyzing what to do with the over 6,000 nuclear warheads they own?

It's that small number owned by North Korea that gives them sleepless nights.

I wonder why they have not invaded the country yet. I mean, an underdeveloped country filled with hungry citizens (like they want us to believe), can't be that hard...

Okay na. Trump's boyfriend. I hope they still exchange love letters

.

Ekemeze:
I'm sure if one person is tested and the result shows positive, Kim would definately execute him/her

.

A swear
The person go die of gunshot than covid19

only me alone and my muscles and inter universal bazooka
can destroy this fatty orobo

North Korea with all the sanctions has more fighter jets more than Nigeria, that is not on sanction
They have more fire powers than so called Giant of Africa

bro, trust me. Forget all those, you'd prefer naija to that place. When your life's a prison, skyscrapers would mean nothing to you.

Isreal will sink all this shit within 1day not to talk of almighty US.

LOL, it's all about perspective... and me mentioning skyscrapers was just as an example.
There's a whole lot of other infrastructure in NK that is world standard – their very efficient subway system is one also (an Australian international student studying in NK documented this).


Looking on from the outside and given all the misinformation out there about that country, it's easy to choose what we already experience as freedom in comparison to what we assume we will lack if we were living in NK.

But then, the system of government they practice has worked for them so far, so if prison life (according to you) is what got them where they are now, perhaps it's not so bad afterall. Besides, these restrictions in NK are just a stricter version of those in China but we don't hear people refer to China as a prison.

If you were in China right now, you won't be able to access Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Google, Wikipedia, Netflix, Twitter, etc, also, most of the western MSM outlets are banned there. And if Nairaland had a Chinese version, all those people insulting Buhari and APC won't even have the guts to do it.
Despite all of this, the country is the second biggest economy in the world and is well on the way to overtaking the US as a dominant world power.

It's working for them (NK, China), and that's what matters – not every country on earth is supposed to act, behave, or run their government like the west does.
