Seoul, South Korea CNN — North Korea will no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with South Korea, Kim Jong Un has declared, as his nation vowed to put three new military spy satellites into orbit in 2024.
Kim said inter-Korean relations had become “a relationship between two hostile countries and two belligerents at war,” the state-run news agency KCNA reported.
“It’s time for us to acknowledge the reality and clarify our relationship with the South,” Kim said, adding that if Washington and Seoul were to attempt a military confrontation with Pyongyang, its “nuclear war deterrent will not hesitate to take serious action.”
“I believe that it is a mistake that we must no longer make to deal with the people who declare us as ‘the main enemy’ and seek only opportunities for ‘[our] regime collapse’ and ‘unification by absorption’ by collaborating for reconciliation and unification,” Kim added.
Unfortunately not too surprising, anyone with eyes in the situation could have told you this was the case. Could even be said Neither country wants Reconciliation.
The Kims wants to maintain their feudal kingdom and South Korea doesn’t want to pay to bring millions of North Koreans forward into the modern day. I think it was Escape From Camp 14 or the Aquariums of Pyongyang where the defector author couldn’t belive the average south response to the north was pretending the country didn’t exist.
Hope they won’t do anything funny. They probably had a big boost from russian trade, and there’s a trend of new conflicts opening up everywhere lately.
Those conflicts opening up recently are also encouraged by Russia as a strategy to destabilize, distract, and reroute resources away from Ukraine as well as reinforce their other motives
I’d not give them that much credit. But many individual fuckheads, including their partners, saw this and thought their own ambitions can fly under the radar or be a new norm. Many hostile actors want to do their stuff without any attention
I said encouraged and yea they encourage likely even financially, those people
