Kim Jong-Un today made his first public appearance in two weeks in front of a satellite image of Guam as he backed down on North Korea's chilling missile threat.
But the leader, who was pictured in Pyongyang, vowed to 'wring the windpipes of the Yankees' if the US persists in its 'extremely dangerous reckless actions'.
The country offered a glimpse into plans to fire missiles near Guam as its leader was seen with a baton pointing at a map saying 'Strategic Force's Firing Strike Plan'.
Kim, who was pictured next to satellite imagery of Guam's Andersen Air Force Base, has backed down on his threat to launch four missiles at the US Pacific territory.
Instead, the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea (DPRK) said that he would wait and watch the US's actions, the official KCNA news agency said.

The Norks have played this game for decades. I daresay it’s an act. They know they would be annihilated several times over if they launched nukes at Guam, the USA, or any of our allies. We’d pound them into dust.
The Norks do this because it paid off in the past. The more they stomped and pouted, the more likely the USA was to offer concessions, but Trump doesn’t appear to be willing to play.
I can’t really blame the North Koreans for giving it a shot (no pun intended). It worked in the past, and historically, it cost them little or nothing. It also has the side benefit of keeping their own citizens oppressed. A constant state of crisis and imminent war justifies all sorts of deprivations, like in the novel 1984.
lol....
Mocking him is amusing but I’d sooner see him incinerated.
He’s hold a wooden pointer! I remember those...last saw one about 1980 or so.
You think with a million man army “ General” Jong-Un has to keep the military focused and directed on an external threat? Otherwise his generals might just have time to think about alternatives to this 34 yr old know- nothing who inherited the country
Thats another reason North Korea can never live peacefully
These seniors surrounding him are the most cunning survivors of a military leadership he purged after coming to power. They all know that in just 4 years he managed to kill off 3 generations of family members including his older brother - just to keep them aware of what he can and will do - on a whim
Wait a second, I'm yellow ...
Thanks for my first laugh of the day, Lost.
They had to take this staged photo quickly so they could turn off the lights and save electricity.
I always like seeing the NK generals with notepads ready catch any wisdom that may fall from Glorious Leader’s lips. But look at those guys in their funny hats. They’re all of retirement age and they have to act (and act if their lives and families’ lives depend on it) as if Lil Kim is ever so much wiser and intelligent than they.
Dennis Rodman could do a better job in NoKo.
That’s a very nice straight line he has there ,LOL
Is this picture in his super duper bunker ?
The officers ribbons are missing?
What does that mean?
Dish-o-noodles on their hats...
Insane fat little blowhard coward
Yep
