North Korea Condemns US and South Korea’s “Hostile Policies” in Washington Declaration

On the 29th, he slammed US President Joe Biden, who mentioned the “end of the regime” in the event of a nuclear attack, as “the absurd remarks of an old man with no future.” He even said to President Yoon Seok-yeol, “I am an ugly person.” He was wary of the US decision to strengthen extended deterrence, including the nuclear umbrella, and suggested the use of nuclear force for offensive purposes. In the near future, it seems likely that it will embark on intensive and provocative military actions. The Ministry of Unification condemned, saying, “Slandering the heads of state of both South Korea and the United States with rude language shows the low level of North Korea.”

Vice Minister Kim announced these statements to the Korean Central News Agency on the same day regarding the Korea-US summit held on the 26th (US local time). Two days after the summit was held, the highest level of leadership was issued. Vice Minister Kim’s discourse is in fact interpreted as Chairman Kim’s message.

Vice Minister Kim criticized the ROK-US “Washington Declaration,” which stipulates the establishment of the Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) and the deployment of the US Strategic Nuclear Submarine (SSBN) on the Korean Peninsula. He said, “The ‘Washington Declaration’ fabricated by the US and South Korean rulers is a concentrated product of the heinous hostile policy toward the DPRK (North Korea), reflecting the most hostile and aggressive will to act, putting the peace and security of the Northeast Asian region and the world at greater risk. It will result in exposure, and it will certainly be an unwelcome act.”

Vice Minister Kim said, “Due to the manipulation of the ‘nuclear consultation group’, the regular and continuous deployment of US nuclear strategic assets, and frequent military exercises, the military and political situation in the region has inevitably been unable to escape from an unstable flow, and as a result, we are It has provided an environment in which to take more decisive action commensurate with the new safety environment.”

Vice Minister Kim criticized President Biden for directly mentioning the end of the regime in the event of a nuclear attack by North Korea. “Another fact that must be calculated and cannot be overlooked is that the commander-in-chief of an enemy country openly and directly used the expression ‘the end of the regime’ in front of the whole world,” he said.

Vice Minister Kim said, “Can you see this as an old man’s oblivion?” “I can’t be responsible for the safety and future of the United States at all, and it can be said that it is an old man’s absurd remark that will not be burdensome even if he says to handle the remaining two years of his term.” ”he said. It was a mockery of President Biden, who announced that he would run for the presidential election next year at the age of 81 this year.

Vice Minister Kim said, “However, the fact that the expression was written by the president of the most hostile enemy country, the United States, is a rhetorical threat that requires us to be prepared for a huge aftermath that we cannot easily hand over.” It was very brave,” he criticized.

Deputy Minister Kim criticized President Yoon Seok-yeol with blatant remarks by only mentioning his name. “The situation that is spreading is very serious,” he said. Yoon Seok-yeol made it clear that he would further strengthen the ‘Korea-US joint exercises and exercises’, saying that he would build an overwhelming response capability and retaliation posture, including the ‘Korean 3-axis system’ this time.”

Vice Minister Kim said, “How can we easily look into the world of thoughts of those ugly people who, despite being ‘considered’ for the empty-shell ‘declaration’ from the US, still perceive that they ‘completely trust the US’ firm expansionary deterrence pledge’, how can we easily look into it? He insisted, “We will see how far he will go with what kind of guts he has even if he puts security on the cutting board due to his incompetence.”

Vice Minister Kim said, “This opportunity to reaffirm the hostile heart of Washington and Seoul politicians and military belligerents towards our country, which cannot be interpreted otherwise and cannot be more clear, gives us what to do and what to do in the future. It gave a clear answer to the question of whether we should be thoroughly prepared.”

Vice Minister Kim reaffirmed the policy of aggressive use of nuclear force beyond defense purposes. “The delusion of the United States and South Korea will face the reality of a more powerful force in the future,” he said.

In a report on the 6th plenary meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea on January 1 this year, Chairman Kim Jong-un said, “Our nuclear force considers war deterrence and the protection of peace and stability as its first mission, but if deterrence fails, the second mission will also be carried out. “The second mission is obviously something other than defense,” he said.

“We clearly know what we need to do,” said Vice Minister Kim. will increase,” he said.

It hinted at a policy of taking high-intensity provocative military action in response to the planned large-scale joint military exercises between South Korea and the US and the deployment of US strategic assets to the Korean Peninsula. The launch of the first military reconnaissance satellite ordered by Chairman Kim to make final preparations, additional launches of solid-fuel propelled Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and launches of ICBMs aimed at the Pacific Ocean are being discussed.

There is also the possibility of unexpected provocative behavior. North Korea fired one ICBM and two short-range ballistic missiles when President Biden returned home from the Korea-US and US-Japan summits in May of last year. It was the first case in which multiple types of ballistic missiles were simultaneously launched during the Kim regime.

In its position announced that day, the Ministry of Unification said, “We condemn North Korea for making unreasonable claims about the South Korea-US summit in the form of an announcement of Vice Minister Kim Yo-jong’s position.” “What we brought up seems to reflect North Korea’s nervousness and frustration over the dramatic strengthening of the ROK-US alliance’s nuclear deterrence,” he said.

The Ministry of Unification said, “If North Korea continues to go the wrong way, it will face a more powerful and overwhelming response and further impoverish the lives of the North Korean people.” You should know that what they did showed the low level of North Korea, and it will only become a laughing stock in the international community.”
