(FixThisNation.com) – In a recent development, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has intensified his rhetoric, urging for an acceleration in the nation’s war readiness. This call for heightened preparedness comes amidst what Kim perceives as unparalleled adversarial actions by the United States. His statements were made during the annual session of North Korea’s dominant political party, the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK). This gathering is a pivotal event where North Korean leaders summarize the year’s achievements and set the agenda for the upcoming year.
Kim’s remarks are a continuation of North Korea’s ongoing narrative about the perceived threats from the United States, including its alliances with South Korea, Japan, and other democracies in the region. North Korea consistently frames these alliances as provocations, necessitating a boost in military readiness. Specifically, Kim directed the People’s Army, the munitions industry, and sectors responsible for nuclear weapons and civil defense to expedite their war preparations. This directive is based on what Kim describes as a critical political and military situation on the Korean Peninsula, severely aggravated by the U.S. and its allies’ actions against North Korea.
Furthermore, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Kim’s plans to strengthen North Korea’s “strategic cooperation” with countries opposed to imperialism. Kim emphasized the Workers’ Party of Korea’s independent principle to grow strategic partnerships with such nations and engage in anti-imperialist efforts globally, adapting to the rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. This stance includes specific strategies for external affairs and relations with South Korea.
In response to North Korea’s escalated language and recent actions, including a spy satellite launch viewed as a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions, the White House issued a stern warning. The U.S. made it clear that any nuclear attack by North Korea against the U.S. or its allies would be unacceptable and would lead to the downfall of the Kim regime. The statement also reaffirmed America’s steadfast commitment to defend South Korea, backed by its full range of capabilities, including nuclear weapons.
