DPRK says nuclear weapons will prevent war with US

The leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong Un said on Monday that the United States will never be able to start a war against the DPRK now that his country has developed the capability to hit all of the US mainland with its nuclear weapons.

“The entire United States is within range of our nuclear weapons, and a nuclear button is always on my desk. This is reality, not a threat,” Kim said during a televised New Year’s Day speech.

“This year we should focus on mass producing nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles for operational deployment,” Kim said. “These weapons will be used only if our security is threatened.

The DPRK tested intercontinental ballistic missiles and conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test in September in defiance of international warnings and sanctions, raising fears of a new conflict on the Korean Peninsula.

Kim said it is imperative to lower military tensions on the Korean Peninsula and improve ties with the South, adding the path to dialogue was open.

Kim said he will consider sending a delegation to the Winter Olympics Games to be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in February.

“The DPRK's participation in the Winter Games will be a good opportunity to show unity of the people and we wish the Games will be a success. Officials from the two Koreas may urgently meet to discuss the possibility,” Kim said.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in has said the DPRK’s participation will ensure safety of the Pyeongchang Olympics and proposed last month that Seoul and Washington postpone large military drills that the DPRK denounces as a rehearsal for war until after the Games.

It looks like that the new SP12 has lost the game of smart strategy building and achieving one's goals. The new year message by the DPRK leadership to the Dotard regime implicitly suggests that the world needs to get used to the new normal of a nuclear DPRK and now the DPRK is ready to build relationships and connections after it has secured independence and immunity from an idiotic act of aggression by the Dotard regime.

In 2018, Kim promised to focus his country’s efforts on the “operational deployment” of nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles. At the same time, the North Korean leader said Washington“will never” be able to start a war of aggression against Pyongyang as long as the North remains a nuclear power.

Boombastic: N. Korea salutes 2017, promises more tests in 2018

Pyongyang had a busy time developing its nuclear and ballistic programs over the course of 2017, having staged 16 missile tests and conducting its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on September 3.

In light of recent success in his nuclear endeavor, Kim called for the “mass-production” of nukes and missiles to be used as a deterrent against the US and its allies.

However, despite maintaining a belligerent posture towards the US, Kim said that the North is open to talks with S. Korea. North Korea, he said, is also willing to take part in PyeongChang Winter Olympics scheduled to begin in February 2018.

. . . .
Cant agree more. Not only nuclear weapons but the means to hit the main land. This is why I always argue that Pakistan should also develop similar capability if we are too stop US from any misadventures.
 
.
DPRK says will use nuclear weapons on US and Japan only !

for rest of the world, do not worry about it.
They can keep selling to the world that NK is threat to world peace which it is not
4 countries have issues with them and they should resolve them through bilateral dialogue but US is more interested in collective punishment of NK which does more harm than good

As long as he doesn't blow Aus into pieces whatever buddy.

S. Korean leadership sees Kim Jong Un's New Year's speech positively

CGTN - 2018-01-01

S. Korea's ruling Democratic Party saw positive signs in the New Year address made by Kim Jong Un, leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

In what many saw as an overture, the DPRK leader expressed his willingness to discuss sending a delegation to S. Korea for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

The Winter Olympics are scheduled to kick off in February in S. Korea's eastern county of Pyeongchang.

The S. Korean party spokesperson said the governing party viewed Kim's address positively, calling for the S. Korean government to suggest a ministerial-level dialogue with the DPRK.

Kim in his New Year speech said that his country will take the necessary measures to take part in the sports event, including inter-Korean talks.

Kim also said the two sides should reduce the highly tense military confrontation to create a peaceful environment for reconciliation.

The new S. Korean government under President Moon Jae-in, who took office in May, had offered to hold talks to ease military tensions on the Korean Peninsula and discuss humanitarian issues on the reunion of families separated between the two Koreas.

People in S. Korea and the DPRK have been banned from exchanging letters and visiting each other since the 1950-1953 Korean War ended in an armistice. The peninsula has technically been in a state of war since then.

Let's hope the US won't be allowed to derail the positive development by staging another aggressive move to force the DPRK into a reactive step. The Korean government needs to be extremely careful and prudent.

China has a pragmatic leadership at the Blue House at the moment. Better make the best use of it and guard against US-led derailment attempts.

This could change if US tell SK to forget that idea

I think the US cannot dictate the present PM on such a life or death matter. The US would have to bring him down; like they did with Hatoyama in Japan.

I do not count this likelihood out, but, perhaps Korea is a more normal (sovereign) state than Japan.

China welcomes DPRK, ROK to improve ties through 2018 Winter Olympics

(Xinhua) 07:22, January 03, 2018

FOREIGN201801030831000097983969789.jpg


BEIJING, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) -- China supports the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the the Republic of Korea (ROK) to use the 2018 Winter Olympics to make efforts to improve ties, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Tuesday.

The ROK will host the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang in February.

It was reported that top leader of the DPRK Kim Jong Un said Monday that Pyongyang was willing to talk with Seoul on its possible participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics to be held in the ROK.

According to the reports, the ROK President Moon Jae-in welcomed the DPRK leader's New Year speech, ordering government officials to rapidly restore inter-Korean talks and draw up follow-up measures to make it possible for the DPRK delegation to participate in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

"We have noticed the positive information from the leaders of the two countries, and it is a good thing," spokesperson Geng Shuang told a regular press briefing. "China welcomes and supports both countries to take the 2018 Winter Olympics as an opportunity to make effective efforts to improve their relations, relax the situation on the Korean Peninsula and promote the denuclearization of the peninsula."
