North Korea's Kim Jong UN
"The world will witness a new strategic weapon to be possessed by the DPRK [Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea] in the near future."
"We will reliably put on constant alert the powerful nuclear deterrent capable of containing the nuclear threats from the U.S. and guaranteeing our long-term security."
"[There will] never be denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula [should Washington adhere to its 'hostile policy']."
"[We] will steadily develop necessary and prerequisite strategic weapons for the security of the state until the U.S. rolls back its hostile policy toward the DPRK and lasting and durable peacekeeping mechanism is built."
"The present situation warning of long confrontation with the U.S. urgently requires us to make it a fait accompli that we have to live under the sanctions by the hostile forces in the future, too, and to strengthen the internal power from all aspects."
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un
Well, this was North Korea's dear little leader's New Year's message to the world and in particular to his great friend and ally the President of the United States of America. Their personal amity does not extend to the future fortunes of the two countries; one the most powerful nation on Earth, the other a puny, enfeebled state threatening to its neighbours' stability and imagining itself the counterpart of a nation that has made heroic efforts to reassure the neurotic pathological midget with a persecution complex.
No longer does North Korea, according to its leader, feel there are grounds for it to consider itself bound by the moratorium on testing nuclear bombs that it so selflessly proclaimed in its overture responding to the generosity of time given Kim by Trump to convince him that his nation would be far better off forswearing its fascination with nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, enjoying the consternation of its neighbours when they're threatened and targeted by missiles.
No one was out to 'get' North Korea, it would be perfectly safe and secure in the company of civil societies that have no interest in securing nuclear weapons for themselves, alongside those nations that do possess them and respect their potential in world-scale disaster, with the notable exception of a few of Kim's associate-nations such as Iran and Pakistan. This is a man, however, secure in his beliefs, that funding of fearful weapons of mass destruction is a priority well surmounting that of any concerns for the welfare of his population.
However, since the U.S. has been offering "gangster-like demands", while maintaining a "hostile policy" through its continued joint military drills with South Korea, imposing sanctions and adopting cutting edge weapons, Kim plans to continue his country's cautionary evolving of nuclear weapons while the "scope and depth" will be "properly co-ordinated depending on" Washington's attitude. His attitude, so obviously superior in its commitment to peace and tranquility.
That North Korea has shown it could be persuaded by any U.S.' hostile actions' to resume nuclear and missile tests, clearly troubles UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who speaks of his "deep concern" over the matter. "The secretary-general very much hopes that the tests will not resume, in line with relevant Security Council resolutions. Non-proliferation remains a fundamental pillar of global nuclear security and must be preserved" reminded his spokesman Stephane Dujarric, who can be assured that President Kim will take that statement as seriously as he has all previous others.
And then one's attention turns to current world events of great moment. Such as the decision made by Kim's great good friend President Trump to set his patience aside in the greater irritation of facing ongoing deterrence of further violence committed at the behest of that other peoples' republic, that of the Iranian Republic with its increasing provocative arrogance and the culmination of the career of the master terrorist, Qassem Soleimani and of Kataib Hezbollah's leader.
Avid attention by Kim to the untimely extinguishing of such prominent terrorist careerists with their parallel dedication to obstructionism of world peace and security finally persuading the 'leader' of the free world to rid that world of such incendiary and deadly messengers of war and death, must surely have made some penetrating inroads into Kim Jong Un's sensitivities with respect to his own longevity? Then again, perhaps not, given that his level of arrogant untouchability appears a match to theirs.
