“The speech made by the US president in his maiden address on the UN arena in the prevailing serious circumstances, in which the situation on the Korean peninsula has been rendered tense as never before and is inching closer to a touch-and-go state, is arousing worldwide concern.
Shaping the general idea of what he would say, I expected he would make stereotyped, prepared remarks a little from what he used to utter in his office on the spur of the moment as he had to speak on the world’s biggest official diplomatic stage.
Kim Jong-un warns 'deranged' Trump he will 'pay dearly' for North Korea threats
But, far from making any remarks of any persuasive power that can be viewed to be helpful in diffusion tension, he made unprecedented rude nonsense no one has ever heard from any of his predecessors.
A frightened dog barks louder.
I’d like to advise Trump to exercise prudence in selecting words and be considerate of whom he speaks to when making a speech in front of the world.
The mentally deranged behaviour of the US president openly expressing on the UN arena the unethical will to “totally destroy" a sovereign state, beyond the boundary of threats and regime change or overturn of social system, makes even those with normal thinking faculty think about discretion and composure.
His remarks remind me of such words as “political layman" and “political heretic" which were in vogue in reference to Trump during his presidential election campaign.
After taking office Trump has rendered the world restless through threats and blackmail against all countries in the world. He is unfit to hold the prerogative of supreme command of a country, and he is surely a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire, rather than a politician.
His remarks which described the US option through straightforward expression of his will have convinced me, rather than frightening or stopping me, that the path I chose is correct and that it is the one I have to follow to the last.
Now that Trump has denied the existence of and insulted me and my country in front of the eyes of the world and made the most ferocious declaration of war in history that he would destroy the DPRK, we will consider with seriousness exercising a corresponding, highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history.
Action is the best option in treating the dotard* who, hard of hearing, is uttering only what he wants to say.
As a man representing the DPRK and on behalf of the dignity and honor of my state and people and on my own, I will make the man holding the prerogative of the supreme command in the US pay dearly for his speech calling for totally destroying the DPRK.
This is not a rhetorical expression loved by Trump.
I am now thinking hard about what response he could have expected when he allowed such eccentric words to trip off his tongue.
Whatever Trump might have expected, he will face results beyond his expectation.
I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire."
👀
The sad thing is, the maniac is right about most of that, it feels like it's gonna kick off soon. The DPRK have never really gone this far in responding.

I've been to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Phillipines, Indonesia and Singapore. Would love to go to both North and South Korea.
I follow this guy on YouTube who's teaching in Japan. Fun fact - in Japan, TVs turn themselves on when there's a warning (like missiles from rogue states flying overhead).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If I were in Japan and my TV switched itself on, I'd be fully expecting Sadako to crawl out, so a missile warning would be something of a relief.

American want control of that region which is clearly the reason they won't agree to terms with North Korea. I'm not sure the nuclear weapons being used is real, but North Korea using force against Japan and South Korea could be on the agenda without America's presence in the region. Both are directly provoking one another, what it will result in is anyone's guess.

That's the major problem in the context of increased tensions. Why can't you get this?? Am I not explaining it clearly or something?
===========================================================
I already addressed this.
The north and the south already had enough fire-power to force a kind of equilibrium on each other. The equilibrium lasted for 64 years. It was an uneasy truce, but it was never likely to be broken by either side, without dire consequences.
The Americans could have used nukes during the Korean War, when neither NK nor China had them. They didn’t, because the stakes were too high then, and they’re even higher now. NK is a brutal, anti-democratic rogue state, who even manage to p1ss off their strongest ally and neighbour, but they were in a very strong position to defend themselves.
So why’s it been de-stabilised now? What changed? What needed to change?
The North Koreans demanded that the Americans stop carrying out military drills that they’ve been carrying out for decades, and which the Americans invited them to watch, so they could verify that the drills were defensive in nature.
The ultimatum was that if the Americans didn't do as they said, they would tool up with weapons that they do not need for a peninsula war (because they already had the ability to destroy Seoul).
Not enough, they wanted to be able to attack the continental United States, a capability which they do not need in order to defend themselves.
That’s what changed.
If it hadn’t changed, the tensions on the peninsula would have remained as the same low background murmur they’ve always been.
I am not knee-jerk pro-American, I opposed the Iraq war by attending the anti-war march, and I’ve been accused of being anti-American on this thread, but if you can’t see who made the first move in this escalation, you are wilfully choosing not to see it.

Two dogs barking.
You guys do know that North Korea's nuclear ambition goes back to the current leader's father, right? It's not something we've not been dealing with for some time.
A few years ago, they sunk a South Korea baseball ship and also bombed an island of the coast of Korea (claimed by both, controlled by the South) as well. So it's not like they haven't attacked South Korea before with hardly much response. I was living there at the time those happened. There was a sense that the government says weak.
North Korea will keep doing what they can as long as they feel they can get away with it. And when they need it, they'll use it as negotiation leverage later.

Between 12 and 29 million Indians died of starvation while it was under the control of the British Empire, as millions of tons of wheat were exported to Britain as famine raged in India.
In 1943, up to four million Bengalis starved to death when Winston Churchill diverted food to British soldiers and countries such as Greece while a deadly famine swept through Bengal.
Talking about the Bengal famine in 1943, Churchill said: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.”
