North Korea Adopts “Dead Hand” Nuclear Doctrine in Constitution

North Korea has formally amended its constitution to mandate an automatic nuclear strike if leader Kim Jong Un is killed or the regime’s command structure comes under attack. This chilling “dead hand” policy, enacted in the shadow of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s assassination by U.S.-Israeli strikes, reveals the regime’s paranoia and the inescapable logic of deterrence in a world of tyrants.

so what if he dies from heart disease, because he’s pretty chunky. Is death from Twinkees written in there too?

[Williams]

If he and other leaders die by any means, the ones carrying out that ridiculous order will also be “dead hands”.

Kill yourselves over a dead man? Unlikely.

[Ueriah]

The only thing it shows is that he is afraid.

[redfreedom]

So if the ChiComs (or anyone else) want a nuclear war, all they have to do is wack N Korea’s dear leader.

[bobbo666]

This is how he ensures that he will not be offed by one of own generals — the general will die in the US strike.

Theatrics-

This is what they would have done anyhow.

No change.

“North Korea has formally amended its constitution to mandate an automatic nuclear strike if leader Kim Jong Un is killed or the regime’s command structure comes under attack.”

If his sister kills him does that mean the nukes will be launched at her?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Good question ,,as to what would happen if there’s an internal coup in North Korea.

Since his sister is part of that “royal family “, what would happen?

I suppose this change in their constitution is meant to attack America, or any other country, which would attack North Korea.

Kim Jong Un is trying to Trump Proof his country under it’s present state of mismanagement.
Meanwhile, he better keep a weather eye on little sister
Kim Yo Jong. Just a glance at her, displays a face which radiates a raw, ruthless, volcanic ambition for power, just barely held in check for the time being.

“Kill yourselves over a dead man?

The regime in North Korea teaches that physical life is temporary, but “political life” is immortal. Those who die for the nation or the leader do not go to a traditional heaven, but their memory is glorified, and they live on in the “memory of the state”. Their 15 minutes of fame goes unforgotten.

“...other leaders...”

If you discussing islamic leaders they go to a pre-established Jannah filled with peace, love, and paradise which many can easily prefer to their current existence. So whether it’s a group grope, or one at a time, it is desireable to what they have.

North Korea doesn’t do anything without the express written consent of the Chicoms.

[dfwgator]

Also, the South Koreans don’t want things to become too destabilized, because they know the country would be flooded with Nork refugees, who they couldn’t handle.

Another reason why Iran and other insane muslims should never be allowed to have thermonuclear weapons.

[John S Mosby]

A “dead man’s switch” on commuter railways usually electric- is a switch which the engineer must keep pushed forward for the train to roll. It it designed, if the hand pressure is removed (for any reason while engaged, especially if the engineer collapses/strokes out/heart attack, whatever).

It is to prevent runaway trains from killing all the passengers and those in stations encountered in excess speed.

ONLY a crazed cult dictatorship Communist use of a “dead man switch” would actuate launching of indiscriminate or prior targeted nuclear weapons. This is lunatic. Crazy.

And, point of order— it is inviting de-nuclearization of these clowns— with or without taking out the “hairdo” fat boy and his looney sister. China would have to approve this— to set up the Norks forever as a death partner.

Kill yourselves over a dead man? Unlikely.

The phrase “N. Korean constitution” is a self-contradiction.

Obese and a heavy smoker. A heart attack brings death to every doctor in the country I would imagine.

[cross_bearer_02]

The only thing I find shocking here is that they didn’t already have this established in their laws. I always operated under the assumption that they did.
