North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called South Korea “a foreign country and an apparent hostile country,” the Korean Central News Agency reported on October 18.
The official news agency said that the leader made the remarks during an inspection trip to the headquarters of the 2nd Corps of the Korean People’s Army (KPA) a day earlier.
Kim made the trip to encourage the officers and troops of the large combined unit that “have reliably defended the territory of our state, always maintaining full combat readiness on high alert at the forefront near the border,” according to the agency.
The leader learned of the combat readiness of the military units ready for combat operations under the corps after being briefed on the current situation.
The KCNA also said that Kim reminded the armed forces of “the stark fact that the ROK is a foreign country and an apparent hostile country,” referring to South Korea by using the acronym of its official name, the Republic of Korea.
Recalling that the DPRK has completely blocked the roads and railways to South Korea two days ago through detonations, Kim said that the move means “not only the physical closure but also the end of the evil relationship with Seoul” and “the complete removal of the useless awareness about fellow countrymen and unreasonable idea of reunification,” according to the agency.
“When the DPRK sovereignty is violated by the ROK, a hostile country, its physical forces will be used unhesitatingly, without sticking to (any) conditions any longer,” Kim was quoted by the KCNA as saying.
The leader urged the KPA “to continue concentrating all efforts on bolstering up the war-fighting capabilities, and to take more perfect military steps for reliably defending the security of the country through the permanent overwhelming combat readiness,” the agency said.
Tensions in the Korean Peninsula began to rise on October 11, when North Korea accused Seoul of sending drones over Pyongyang that scattered a “huge number” of anti-North leaflets.
South Korea’s government has declined to say whether such drones were flown and if they were, whether they were flown by its military or civilians. Still, Seoul warned that if North Korea were to inflict harm upon the safety of its people, “that day will be the end of the North Korean regime.”
Later on October 16, the KCNA reported that more than a million young people have signed up to join or rejoin the KPA as a result of the tensions with South Korea.

the nk regime is sick. their thinking has always been the same. when the world focuses on another theater of war, kim does something nasty to make headlines. okay, they blew up roads that haven’t been used for 50 years. what will they do next? shooting at own legs and blaming japan? nk should focus on its economy and stop restricting people, but nk economy is doomed. people in nk are not even allowed to travel. planting rice with bare hands. i think kim& should fck off.
are you mad that nk and cuba withstood the satanic empire of lies?
with the memory millions of his own people blown to pieces by u.s. bombers after trying to re-unite korea after a brutal japaneese occupation . a western style economy is not the most important thing.
the gap between rich and poor is extreme in south korea with about 1% owning the rest 99%, so koreans in nk is much better off than average south koreans with free education, free housing, free medical care, 100% literacy rate, etc. most nk defectors in south korea now want to return to nk and a lot of them, in fact, already returned to nk despite the so-called national security law that can put them in prison for attempting to return to nk.
south korea has the highest suicide rate in the world. south korea is a criminal country engaged in human trafficking by selling south korean children to highest international bidders (this is the official policy sanctioned by south korea). about 30% of female workers are prostitutes (even the wife of south korean “president” is a former prostitute). south korea has thriving plastic surgery and sex change industry and most of females in south korea are fake with mangled faces.
south korea has the lowest birth rate in the world. sometimes, you gotta ask yourself a question. wtf south koreans are not reproducing? people with iq above temperatures would know why is that so. the reason is that south koreans not only can’t afford having children, but also they don’t see much hope about the future of south korea and so they stopped reproducing. south korea will go down on the same path as now defunct south vietnam.
why don’t the south koreans admit this provocation? it is not for nothing that the puppets and the west itself want a third war
this is a sign china is ready to exert its influence and power in the region. good luck, satanists!
all governments are satanic. you think that communists are against satanism?? communists deny god and everything that has to do with him. they put themselves above everything, etc. communists are satanists.
all us hillbillies in amerika are wonderful —“amerikans are 300 million used car salesmen…” hunter thompson
nk is constantly smeared by the bbc lie factory and the rest of the lugenpresse. nk leadership has shown strength and courage and developed the country into a major regional power. they like to sneer at shortcomings in nk without mentioning the vicious economic warfare waged against it for 70 years. under nk’s leadership the country will never suffer the same fate as iraq or libya. if uncle sugar tried it on with nk he would get a good hard kick in the balls – the only thing he understands.
as trumpo openly admitted, s. korea is just a us puppet regime with no agency whatsoever. the sk cia (the local branch of the us cia) sends balloons and drones full of propaganda leaflets into the north, on the instructions of its us masters. nk retaliates by sending balloons full of manure into the south. it is the south that instigated these provocations.
south koreans and japanese are castrated slaves of the evil zionist usa empire.
my hillbillies prefer senile leader imports 11 million honduran drug dealers
fact: kim jong un is the only fat boy in north korea. the rest of the population were either slim or malnourished.
half the population of the united snakes weigh over 400 pounds.
thats what western propaganda will tell you
course they are. e erywhere is now its the new political correctness.
do you think people will buy the south koreans latest provocation dressed up as russian soldiers?
serbian news published telling article revealing in a nutshell that the egyptian masons run the destruction show as the bad cop if you like, and then the scots run the rebuild resurrection good cop act. i think that’s probably quite accurate
hehehe back in the day n korea was fighting against a coalition of world military forces. nk should have persisted just like the north vietnamese did.
nordkorea ist eine comedy horror show.
