North Korea: Kim Jong Un wants to 'further accelerate the war preparations' | DW News

North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un has ordered his country to accelerate war preparations.

Kim claims the decision – which includes the nuclear weapons sector – is needed to counter what he calls unprecedented confrontational moves by the United States. He made the comments at his country's end of year party meeting, where he also laid out economic goals for next year.

For more on this, we talk to DW Correspondent James Chater, who is following this story for us from Taipei.

North Korea has been accelerating war preparations each year, for almost 60 years. They never seem to finish those preparations.

[borali]

Actually what Kim Jong Un wanted to say, in my opinion, is to ramp up production for Russia. They are fully commited in support Russia with all weaponry they can.

Me: "Soooo does this mean they are going to try to use 200% instead of 100% of there food money?"

Putin gave Kim Jong Un expired flour and Kim Jong Un gave Putin defective shells that explode in the barrel. They double crossed each other.

By “accelerate preparation for war” he means “increase donut production in bakeries” so he has enough for the nuclear winter over his country he’s gonna cause 😌

U.S and the west completely ignoring North Korea

North Korea: leave us

[bigpushing]

I don't understand the end game with using a nuke. It just makes everyone else want to use their nukes.

Russia being labeled "anti-imperialism" was the joke of today.

[nrbwuoe]

How can people be so obsessed and obedient to such a tyrant bunch of robots and clapping seals.Hopefully one day they will come to their senses.

[malaudisa]

You mean he wants to accelerate the incineration of the parody of a country he leads?

[yayhandles]

Imagine someone saying they're fighting against imperialism, and then allying with the last two states actively engaged in imperialistic/expansionist goals.

[brojack]

Remember they're are north korea and south korea is appeared because this 2 op country can you guess it?



It's also has be a double edge sword, in another side they're getting a loyal korea in the south but also get hostile korea in the north after one of 2 that op country was collapse.

[thabomatjiu]

1 thing I know is that nobody knows their nuclear weapons and rumours says it's can take 15 states at a go

[CARL_]

its expected to kim more deep ties with russia

[lucascouto]

He looks like he's sitting with Kim at the same table, but Kim is way bigger than him

[qlipjho]

Kim is living possibly the best moment in his life now that he's no longer the baddest dictator in the world, and Putin has to beg him for support

[stevecarlisle]

I dont think Russia or China appreciate having association with this "Wildcard"

[Mrgasman]

They just gave everything they had to Russia..i think is pretty obvious that they have to build some more arsenal😊
