SEOUL, South Korea

Under the arbitrary national security law, any praise of the DPRK is taken as a subversive action against the ROK and is banned.

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un

Say her real fucking title you orientalist dipshits which is Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK that's why she's the one giving these fucking reports.

now preoccupied with its expanding cooperation with Russia,

"Now preoccupied" is a stretch considering the mutual diplomatic agreements happened months ago.

But experts said North Korea could change its course if it thinks it cannot maintain the same booming ties with Russia when the Russia-Ukraine war nears an end.

First of all, no specific academic is mentioned at all in this report, so we just rely on anonymous "experts." Secondly, Democratic Korea has already established strong ties with Russia and that isn't going away after the assisting Russia in Kursk. This is just double work in making sure western liberals are fooled into believing that Russia is going to lose and so more of Ukraine can be fed into the meat grinder.

Kim Yo Jong called such steps “sincere efforts” by Lee’s government to develop ties. But she said the Lee government won’t be much different from its predecessors, citing what it calls “their blind trust” to the military alliance with the U.S. and attempt to “stand in confrontation” with North Korea. She mentioned the upcoming summertime South Korea-U.S. military drills, which North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal.

"We stopped doing psychological terrorism, subversion and detaining your citizens: love us" asa-seethe

"We don't speak to dogs only to their masters" makima-think

since leader Kim Jong Un’s high-stakes nuclear diplomacy with President Donald Trump fell apart in 2019 due to wrangling over international sanctions.

So fucking dishonest it would make a Zionist feel ashamed.

South Korea, the U.S. and others say Russia may even give North Korea sensitive technologies that can enhance its nuclear and missile programs.

"South Korea, The US, and others" is not even an attempt to hide the attempt to launder military propaganda as legitimate. Also, more racism that the Korean people are too ignorant to figure out how to make their own weapons and need the help of a stronger mentor to do so.

But North Korea hasn’t publicly responded to Trump’s overture.

The funny thing is that Trump has spent most of his term black bagging and terrorizing his domestic populace as well as wage a finance war against the world, all of which is conveniently left out here.

That caught many foreign experts by surprise because it was seen as eliminating the idea of shared statehood between the war-divided Koreas and breaking away with his predecessors’ long-cherished dreams of peacefully achieving a unified Korea on the North’s terms.

Many experts say Kim likely aims to guard against South Korean cultural influence and bolster his family’s dynastic rule. Others say Kim wants legal room to use his nuclear weapons against South Korea by making it as a foreign enemy state, not a partner for potential unification which shares a sense of national homogeneity.

Langley? Is that you? You know you can just post on main nowadays. But maybe committing a genocide against Palestine makes it harder to peddle the same for Korea on your account, best use the Associated Press and make zero effort. blob-no-thoughts

This entire article was most likely written by a single propagandist and shared to multiple press organizations, it's just entirely ideology.

Anyway people who are able to see the genocide in Palestine but hate the DPRK for "authoritarianism" or assisting Russia are just chasing the new shiny ball that is socially acceptable and I treat them the same as Zionists (insert chinese political axis meme with Russia,Ukraine and Palestine,Isntreal)

This is the full press statement from DPRK, released yesterday

Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK

Pyongyang, July 28 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement "The DPRK-ROK relations have gone completely beyond the time zone of the concept of homogenous" on Monday:

The suspension of loudspeaker broadcasting against the DPRK, a halt to leaflet scattering and the allowance of individual ROK people for tour of the DPRK - these are details of the "sincere efforts" the Lee Jae Myung government of the ROK made since the moment of coming into office with hope for improved relations with the DPRK.

In addition to that, Jong Tong Yong, newly-appointed minister of Unification, proposed putting an end to the time of power for power and opening up the time of addressing the good will in kind, the time of reconciliation and cooperation, talking about the revival of the disappeared peace and the restoration of the collapsed south-north relations.

Recently, he is spinning a daydream, guessing the possibility of inviting someone to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit to be held in Kyongju a few months later.

We did not care who is elected president or what policy is being pursued in the ROK and, therefore, have not made any assessment of it so far.

But this time I'm going to make our stand clear.

As for the suspension of the anti-DPRK psychological propaganda broadcasting which the ROK authorities described as the first signal for the restoration of confidence between the south and the north, all this is the scourge they have voluntarily invited and thus it is the issue of themselves no matter how they settle it and is nothing but a reversible turning back of what they should not have done in the first place.

In other words, it is not the work worthy of appreciation.

If the ROK, which had stoked the atmosphere of extreme confrontation in the past after unilaterally declaring the DPRK as its principal enemy, expected that it could reverse all the results it had made with a few sentimental words, nothing is more serious miscalculation than it.

The past few years that the Lee Jae Myung government described as the worst and foolish period were not only the meaningless time for the DPRK.

The DPRK could reach a very important historical conclusion that the ROK, whether it advocates the "democracy" or assumes the mask of "conservativeness", can never be the partner of reconciliation and cooperation and throw away the preconceived idea contradictory to the reality after breaking away with a very tired and uncomfortable history fettered by the rhetorical expression of fellow countrymen.

We can confirm once again that the true nature of the ROK politician who is surely enslaved to the departed spirit of unification by absorption can not be changed as the fact shows that he has set as a task of the times the normal operation of the Ministry of Unification that must be dissolved along with the reality in which the state-to-state relations are permanently fixed on the Korean peninsula.

When only the 50-odd days since Lee Jae Myung's assumption to power are brought to light, leaving aside the past history of the successive regimes of the ROK, the ROK authorities made such sweet remarks as defusing tension on the Korean peninsula and improving the DPRK-ROK relations, but their blind trust to the ROK-U.S. alliance and their attempt to stand in confrontation with the DPRK are little short of their predecessor's.

The land of the ROK adjacent to our southern border will be stained by powder fumes through the successive large-scale joint military drills of aggressive nature, and the U.S. and the ROK will try to shift the blame for the deteriorating situation on the Korean peninsula caused by them onto us as they did in the past. The world will soon witness it.

No matter how desperately the Lee Jae Myung government may try to imitate the fellow countrymen and pretend they do all sorts of righteous things to attract our attention and receive international attention, there can be no change in our state's understanding of the enemy and they can not turn back the hands of the clock of the history which has radically changed the character of the DPRK-ROK relations.

We clarify once again the official stand that no matter what policy is adopted and whatever proposal is made in Seoul, we have no interest in it and there is neither the reason to meet nor the issue to be discussed with the ROK.

The DPRK-ROK relations have irreversibly gone beyond the time zone of the concept of homogeneous. -0-

Damn straight.

How about SK withdraws all those authoritarian laws making it illegal to say nice things about Kim Jong-un or the DPRK?

DPRK only (non-western) state on earth that seems to not tolerate bullshit

[–] P1d40n3@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This breaks my heart, but as long as the ROK is running drills with Amerikkka, this is the correct line.

Reunification is not feasible IF south korea is still keeping capitalism.
