Biden is just bringing out the best of our adversaries. We just appear so weak that everyone has been acting up from Russia to North Korea. North Korea apparently felt left out after seeing Russia prepare to invade and Iran continuously walk all over Biden. So they are now claiming that since we have been training with South Korea, they aim to become a bigger threat to us.
“The communist party committee said North Korea would need new ways to counter the U.S. because of continued U.S. military drills with South Korea and because the U.S. “viciously slurred our state and committed the foolish act of taking over 20 independent sanctions measures.” The committee said President Joe Biden’s administration “especially . . . persists in maneuvers to deprive the [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] of its right to self-defense.”
Kim further threatened North Korea will build its military to pose a greater threat to the U.S.
“The hostile policy and military threat by the U.S. has reached a dangerous line that can not be overlooked anymore despite our sincere efforts for maintaining the general tide for relaxation of tension in the Korean peninsula since the DPRK-U.S. summit in Singapore,” the communist party committee said.
The committee said it reached a unanimous conclusion to “make more thorough preparation for a long-term confrontation with the U.S. imperialism.”
“Experts say Kim is reviving an old playbook of brinkmanship to extract concessions from Washington and neighbors as he grapples with a decaying economy crippled by the pandemic, mismanagement, and U.S.-led sanctions over his nuclear ambitions.
The North has been ramping up its weapons demonstrations recently, including four rounds of missile launches just this month, in an apparent effort to pressure Washington over a prolonged freeze in nuclear diplomacy.”
“Some experts say…Pyongyang’s leadership likely feels it could use a dramatic provocation to move the needle with the Biden administration, which has offered open-ended talks but showed no willingness to ease sanctions unless Kim takes real steps to abandon his nuclear and missile program.”
It is likely a lot of talk, but we still have to be wary since they are closely allied with China, and China could be an actual threat.
