North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his military should “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
North Korea has increased its warlike rhetoric in recent months in response to an expansion of U.S.-South Korean military drills. Experts expect Kim will continue to escalate his rhetoric and weapons tests because he likely believes he can use heightened tensions to wrest U.S. concessions if former President Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidential election in November.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
He knows damn well that should he ever attempts to “annihilate” either the only thing that will change is that South Korea will become an island.

Sounds like the people of N. Korea need financial aid again.
Lmao
This gives off the same energy as Desantis threatening to flatten the Bahamas.
“Your mother wears army boots!”
There. Consider yourself provoked, Mr. Useless.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his military to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and South Korea if provoked, state media reported Monday, after he vowed to boost national defense to cope with what he called an unprecedented U.S.-led confrontation.
In a five-day major ruling party meeting last week, Kim said he will launch three more military spy satellites, produce more nuclear materials and develop attack drones this year in what observers say is an attempt to increase his leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
In a meeting on Sunday with commanding army officers, Kim said it is urgent to sharpen “the treasured sword” to safeguard national security, an apparent reference to his country’s nuclear weapons program.
Kim stressed that “our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment’s hesitation” if they opt for military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, KCNA said.
The diplomacy fell apart after the U.S. rejected Kim’s offer to dismantle his main nuclear complex, a limited step, in exchange for extensive reductions in U.S.-led sanctions.
KCNA said Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged New Year’s Day messages on Monday on bolstering bilateral ties.

This is not particularly interesting news From what I have read, North Korea is constantly sending extreme threats to South Korea, we will annihilate you, we will kill all your citizens, we will destroy your government, there will be nobody left when we’re done, etc etc etc. And by constantly I mean on a near weekly basis, to the point that South Korea basically stuck a trash can under the fax machine and stopped paying attention. North Korea can barely even feed its own citizens. And when you see the photos of Great Leader inspecting their amazing new military technology half the time it’s computers from the 1990s that aren’t even plugged in correctly.
Wow. There is a zero percent chance that this is more tiresome sabre-rattling and trash talk from an obnoxious, insecure, possibly unstable dictator.
I have a list of life concerns, and I will immediately add this to the very top of that list. Definitely.
more like knife-rattling. I don’t think they can afford something as fancy as a sabre.
They don’t even have a pot to piss in, let alone take on a superpower like the US. Keep on dreaming Kim.
I just rewatched the college humor King Jung Un animated series in response to this article
Let’s provide them by mass spam of femboy porn!
sure, he already said he was going to annihilate us… but secretly, he had planned to only mostly annihilate us, so that we could learn an important lesson at the same time… but now he’s really mad…
Nuclear escalation always leads to great outcomes, right? Right?
They always start this barking when they need more humanitarian aid.

Regardless of what he says NK is, he’s a dictator not a Communist
