  1. Right on schedule. Probably wants to be bribed with more aid or food… and the west will give it to him so he goes away.

    And the cycle continues.

  2. *Yaaaaawwwwn* I wish people would quit reposting these stories over and over. Yeah, we get it, Poo-Poo and Kim want to rattle our cages.

  3. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/10/08/north-koreas-kim-again-threatens-use-nuclear-weapons-against-south-korea-and-us.html) reduced by 77%. (I’m a bot)

    > SEOUL, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned again that he could use nuclear weapons in potential conflicts with South Korea and the United States, as he accused them of provoking North Korea and raising animosities on the Korean Peninsula, state media reported Tuesday.

    > Kim said North Korea's nuclear response posture must be fully enhanced because South Korea and the United States are pushing to beef up their military alliance based on joint nuclear and strategic planning, a move that he said would increase the danger of breaking the balance of power on the Korean Peninsula.

    > Kim apparently refers to the new South Korea-U.S. deterrence guideline that the two countries signed in July to integrate South Korean conventional capabilities with U.S. nuclear weapons to better deal with North Korea's evolving nuclear threats.

    Russia and NK both threatened nuclear weapons against the US and we all know those missiles will just land in the water like they always do.

  5. He’s got to have something for his giant-hatted old man posse to do. Plus, it’s the only way to earn their nuke merit badges.

  6. I wish someone could explain to him- nobody’s really afraid of them. It’s not about them, they are hardly a threat because if they attacked they would be levelled in minutes.

    The arms build up is because of China, an actual threat.

  7. That moron is going to say the wrong thing one of these days to the wrong person and South Korea is going to end up being an island.

    What did Trump accomplish in north korea again? A photo op of him saluting the general of an enemy nation? Oh fantastic. Oh he sold some commemorative coins? Oh great.

  9. This would be like me threatening to punch a professional fighter: sure, I might be able to land a sucker punch and make his lip bleed, but he’s then going to pound my skull until it shatters and beat me into a fine paste.

    That’s only because he gave all his other weapons to Russia to use in Ukraine, it’s all he has left.
