South Korea And North Korea Tensions by Drenimarcus(m): 12:29am On Apr 05, 2022
South Korea announced that it could attack the North within 48 hours as a preventative measure to impose northern korea efforts in terms of nuclear weapons.

In response, Kim Jong-Univer's sister Kim Yo-Jong said that DNRK would use the nuclear weapon if South Korea "enters the military confrontation" with DNRK.

The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said South Korea is no match for her nuclear-armed country, as she reiterated Pyongyang's position that Seoul is not a "principal enemy," according to state media Tuesday.

She was again taking issue with South Korean defense chief's talk in public last week of his troops' "preemptive strike" capabilities.

Kim Yo-jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, described the minister's remarks as an "irretrievable very big mistake."

"If anyone does not provoke us, we will never strike it before anything else," she said in her second press statement in a few days carried by the Korean Central News Agency.

"We will not fire even a single bullet or shell toward south Korea. It is because we do not regard it as match for our armed forces," she added, emphasizing once again that the North is a nuclear weapons state. "In other words, it means that unless the south Korean army takes any military action against our state, it will not be regarded as a target of our attack."

While the North opposes a war that may put the peninsula into a "disaster" like that in the 1950s, things could change, depending on the South's moves, she warned.

"In case South Korea opts for military confrontation with us, our nuclear combat force will have to inevitably carry out its duty," she said.

When the North descend on the South now, we will start seeing social Media ignoramuses trending "stand with South Korea" forgetting who the aggressor is.

Bunch of funny media controlled human looking beings.

Left for me, I will suggest that the super powers leave this people to reunite peacefully. I don't see how this particular one will affect Africans for now. Until then, may the best team win.

Isn't it funny that the person above called others media controlled while basing his comment on what he just read from the same media? This isolated piece of information taken out of context is enough for him to take sides already and call others names without any hesitation, and he thinks he's not media controlled himself? I'm almost certain he didn't even bother to check what the South Korean defense Minister said that riled up the North Korean woman. I'm sure he didn't bother to find out why he said what he said. I'm not taking sides in the North and South Korean crisis but it would be shameful if y'all decide to stand with the North simply because the US appears to support the South. You should, at least, try to find out what the issue between the two entities is before letting the anti-West sentiment influence your stance.

Just to provide some context, the most recent war of words between the countries started when North Korea tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in February/March as a show of strength in the face of the ever escalating tension between the two countries. In response, the South Korean defense Minister reiterated that South Korea’s military has a variety of missiles with the ability to accurately and quickly hit any target in North Korea. He also said his office will equip thier military to ensure it's able to respond to the threats of the enemy. This statement, coupled president-elect Yoon's call for thier military to be equipped to be capable of carrying out preemptive attacks if necessary, is what prompted this response.

At this point, each party is simply chest beating and trying to intimidate the other by a show of strength or the use of words. Whatever the Southern guys said is nothing compared to what the North has said to the US in the past. Point is, there's simply no reason to take sides and call others names at the moment (though I'm open about the fact that I'm not a fan of the new South Korean president). I just don't know why people appear to be fanning the embers of war when they should be decrying it. Sad.

If you read his words, the president-elect called for the military to be boosted to have preemptive attack capabilities. He didn't say they were going to attack the North. And he made the statement after the North tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in February and March. Each side is trying to intimidate the other by words or actions.

NK have been testing missile for years but that statement by the new SK government is something any country will take seriously.
You can't preemptive attack a nuke nation, USA that has the capacity rolled it back against Iran and N.Korea

True. But of course they can't. He said their military should be boosted to have the capability to carry out preemptive attack. In other words, they should have what it takes to do it if necessary. This is similar to the way Kim said his country has what it takes to level the US sometime ago. The truth is, as provoking as that might sound, it is a goal of every military outfit to be capable of carrying out preemptive attacks. Any military that doesn't have what it takes to do that cannot defend a nation. Even Yoon himself knows he'll lose the West if he strikes first. It was a war of words with each party trying to scare the other.

It can surely be argued that he took it too far, I'm not making a case for him (I personally do not like his ideologies). North Korean response is not out of place too. My point is, no one has struck the other yet and there's no need to take sides. I'm saying this cause of the first commenter who's already calling imaginary people names for the sympathy they've not even shown to South Korea yet. I have noticed many people on this platform tend to support anything the seems to go against the US regardless of the circumstances and they'd gladly side with the North Korean government due this dangerous anti-West sentiment.

They’ll blindly cheer for and support anything that they think goes against the US. They are ready to back the newest tyrants in the Kim dynasty even though hundreds of babies and adults, including North Korean soldiers, are eating grass and roots. They’re backing a leader that is willingly starving his own people to buy luxurious items for himself and weapons to threaten other countries. The average NK citizen eats less than one meal a day but here is there leader asking the people to eat less until 2025:

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has asked the people of his country to eat less until 2025 in a bid to combat the food crisis.
Food prices are soaring in North Korea due to a lack of supply which is unable to meet the demand of people living in the country.

Blaming a ''series of deviations'' for singling out tight food supplies, Kim said ''The people's food situation is now getting tense as the agricultural sector failed to fulfill its grain production plan.''
The food shortage in North Korea have been exacerbated by the sanctions, the coronavirus pandemic, and last year’s typhoons.
Kim had mobilised the military to carry out relief work in areas recently hit by heavy rains.

A source told Radio Free Asia (RFA) that ''Two weeks ago, they told the neighborhood watch unit meeting that our food emergency would continue until 2025.''

''Authorities emphasised that the possibility of reopening customs between North Korea and China before 2025 was very slim.''
The ruling Worker's Party's Central Military Commission held a meeting in the eastern province of South Hamgyong to discuss the perilous situation.

The meeting came amid concerns over a crisis in a reclusive economy that has already been dogged by international sanctions, aimed at curbing its nuclear and weapons programmes.

In April, Kim had urged ruling party officials to wage another “Arduous March” of work and sacrifice, linking the current economic crises to a period in the 1990s of famine and disaster.

''Arduous March'' was a term adopted by officials to rally citizens during a famine that killed as many as 3 million North Koreans after the fall of the Soviet Union, which had been a major backer of Pyongyang’s communist founders.

The period is often talked about as a historic event, but Kim’s apparent comparison to current problems came after he said the country faces the ''worst-ever situation.''

Good point and that’s the reason, I said it’s a very careless word when he knew NK has nothing to lose while SK have everything to lose.
If any missiles fly from both side then Japan will be affected.

Some of the reason we have operation of Russia in Ukraine(That’s what Russia called it) are due to Ukraine talking about getting long range missiles, Nukes to strike Moscow.
Even Israeli made sure are neighbours are weak except Egypt and Iran is far away from Israeli

Even USA knew she has weak neighbours and that’s the reason they can project power beyond home.
