Kim Jong Un calls for 'full combat posture'
Singapore Straits Times ^ | 11 May 2019 | Singapore Straits Times

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for a "full combat posture" as state media yesterday released photos showing missiles being fired during a long-range strike drill conducted by Pyongyang.

The photos came a day after it tested two short-range missiles. Analysts said the regime may have developed a new missile that is easier to hide, harder to strike down and capable of hitting all of South Korea.

I think everybody is missing the obvious. Last week n Korea announced worse than usual failed harvests and food rations reduced to the lowest level ever.

Usual totalitarian response, divert the masses by raising risk of war.

Kim sure knows how to play weak, scared Americans like a deck of cards. Good thing Trump is Prez instead of that witch Clinton.

That’s indeed more closer to the rationale. Plus attention-seeking.

Trump’s aim was to remove NK support and missile trade with Iran and Syria at the same time removing Iran/proxies from Venezuela.

Xi is using his bull dog NPRK to scare the west after Trump in-acted his 25% tariffs. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Trump told Kim to do some last-minute sabre-rattling

You are certifiable.

“My central premise can’t be refuted.”

That’s because it’s insane circular reasoning.

If anybody doubts that North Korea is doing China’s bidding then I think the current situation seals it. NK is China’s junkyard dog. Whenever China needs a little leverage they let Kim off the leash.

It’s all part of and tied into the current dual Cold War between our country and that of the evil alliance of Russia and China.
China and Russia have made it quite clear they want and their all out goal is complete global dominance and governance.
North Korea, the Islamic fascist, the Socialist Venezuelan regime are all the proxies of this alliance as are the proxies of the proxies we have no other choice but too fight them head on all fronts air, land, diplomatic, Cyber space, outer space, sea etc etc in order too perverse the freedom’s and liberties of our nation and that of the world.

Post 4 is spot on No sooner after Kim’s summit with comrade Putin he immediately starts saber rattling he has the full backing of 100% of China and Russia who uses the Norks as proxie too completely counter balance our presence in Asia.
For Kim his number 1 goal is complete Korean unification with him as the emperor.
