"Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following statement Saturday:
2/"The south Korean Defence Minister on April 1 revealed his confrontation hysteria with the DPRK, talking about "preemptive strike" on it.
The senseless and scum-like guy dare mentioned the "preemptive strike" at a nuclear weapons state, in his senseless bluster which will never
3/"be beneficial to south Korea, either.
He is a confrontation maniac engrossed in the mindset of confrontation with his fellow countrymen in the north.
His reckless and intemperate rhetoric about the "preemptive strike" has further worsened the inter-Korean relations and the
4/"military tension on the Korean Peninsula.
Now we can not but take his confrontation hysteria seriously and reconsider a lot of things.
South Korea may face a serious threat owing to the reckless remarks made by its Defence Minister.
As long as the south Korean military
5/"revealed its intent to seek provocative incentive of serious level and escalate a showdown with the DPRK, I will give a serious warning upon authorization.
We will reconsider a lot of things concerning south Korea.
South Korea should discipline itself if it wants to stave off
6/"disaster.
I hope I don't hear him blustering again."
Kim Yo Jong has been at the forefront in promoting DPRK's national interest of normalizing relations w/ the US, ROK & other countries while retaining nuclear deterrence to ensure its survival.
7/Yoon better tone down his rhetoric b/c South Koreans definitely DON'T want escalation b/t South Korea & the DPRK. They elected him tho & if he has confrontation on his mind the world could approach the brink. I have to side w/ Kim Yo Jong. F##k YOON. We want ☮️ w/ nuclear DPRK!
@SecBlinken
Can Washington frame a ☮️ Agreement wherein the DPRK & US set aside the old Cold War mentality & enmity, learn to coexist peacefully & cooperate (eg US getting contracts to mine DPRK rare earth minerals) and together start a new chapter of ☮️on the Korean Peninsula?
@SecBlinken
I think it can. It's better if we BEFRIEND the DPRK (by taking a chance on a Peace agreement - see thread) and not take Yoon's route of torpedoing inter-Korean progress. In peacetime US and DPRK could open up channels of trade/partnership in agriculture, rare earth
@SecBlinken
minerals, solar panels and luxury goods. I'm not the only person who'd like to buy a pair of boots of DPRK leather, clothes & other items. There'd be a cross-flow of cultural infusion - DPRK to US and US to DPRK if we and DPRK become friendly partners. If we take the
North Korea warns of nuclear response if South provokes it
[Kim Yo Jong] berated South Korea for touting preemptive strike capabilities against the North, saying her country’s nuclear forces would annihilate the South’s conventional forces if provoked abcn.ws/36PBQVB
2/"She stressed that North Korea doesn’t want another war on the Korean Peninsula but warned it would retaliate with its nuclear forces if the South opts for preemptive strikes or other attacks, which would leave the South’s military “little short of total destruction and ruin.”
3/"“In case (South Korea) opts for military confrontation with us, our nuclear combat force will have to inevitably carry out its duty … a dreadful attack will be launched and the (South Korean) army will have to face a miserable fate little short of total destruction and ruin,”
@NoLieWithBTC@nytimes Lol. I’d say the US Democratic Party lead by climate alarmist Green New Deal fanatics killing US domestic oil and natural gas production pushing for a fossil fuel-free America own that mantle. HUNTER’S LAPTOP IS REAL. “10 to H for the big guy”.
@NoLieWithBTC@nytimes But Biden’s doing a good job as POTUS right? 👍😉
80 million Democrats ACTUALLY BELIEVE this person is protecting USA’s national interest & defending our borders, people & sovereignty. The world’s at the brink b/c of American weakness projected by Biden.
The "Woke" Democrats' agenda is Orwellian Newspeak in action: Changing the language by removing words gives gov't the power to control how people think. Welcome to 1984:

2/“Orwell’s ideas about language:
George Orwell thought that language was a powerful tool. The message that Orwell wanted to send in 1984 is that thought and language are inter-connected and interact in numerous ways. For Orwell, language is the basis of human thought because it
3/"structures and shapes the way we think and the way we see the world. It can also limit the ideas that we are capable of formulating and expressing.
According to Orwell, totalitarian regimes can use language to limit and restrict certain ideas : “If thoughts can corrupt
Russia denies killings in Bucha, says images of bodies ‘another production’ by Kyiv
"Moscow maintains residents didn't 'suffer any violent actions' and that everyone 'had opportunity to freely leave'; Ukrainian prosecutors say 410 corpses recovered so far" timesofisrael.com/russia-denies-…
2/"Russia’s defense ministry said Sunday that its forces did not kill civilians in Bucha, a town outside Ukraine’s capital Kyiv that was recently retaken by Ukrainian soldiers from Moscow’s troops.
“During the time this settlement was under the control of Russian armed forces,
3/"not a single local resident suffered from any violent actions,” the ministry said in a statement, saying Russia’s military delivered 452 tons of humanitarian aid to civilians there…”
“South Korea's Defense Minister Suh Wook on Friday publicly said his troops have the capabilities to "accurately & swiftly" strike the origin of DPRK's missile firing as well as command & support facilities upon clear signs of a launch toward South Korea.” xinhuanet.com/english/asiapa…
That provoked Kim Yo Jong's ire b/c Suh Wook served under Moon Jae In (who promoted Sunshine Policy), & his remarks, tho fair and not necessarily escalatory, indicate ROK's in no mood to improve ROK-DPRK relations. But it won't be DPRK who launches first.
but since words matter, he should know that when you drop a pebble into a pond it makes ripples. His statement elicited these words from DPRK's Secretary of WPK Central Committee Pak Jong Chon: "“If the south Korean army
