Email Bio Follow April 11 at 12:43 AM TOKYO — Kim Jong Un said North Korea should prove its self-reliance and deliver a “telling blow” to the hostile foreign forces who mistakenly believe sanctions will bring his country to its knees.
Kim underlined the need to “vigorously advance socialist construction” based on North Korea’s own efforts, technology and resources, “under the uplifted banner of self-reliance, so as to deal a telling blow to the hostile forces who go with bloodshot eyes miscalculating that sanctions can bring the DPRK to its knees.”
“Indeed, North Korea has beefed up significant resilience against sanctions over a long period of time,” he added. “His latest message is that North Korea will further develop self-reliance rather than give in to Washington’s demands.” “The Supreme Leader urged the need for leading officials to fully display a high sense of responsibility and creativity, and the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude in an attitude befitting the masters of the revolution and construction under the prevailing tense situation and thus follow through on the new strategic line of the party,” he told his ruling Politburo.
Kim’s remarks came ahead of Thursday’s meeting of North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly, the first session since last month’s “elections,” when voters were forced to approve the party’s choices in single-candidate seats.
“I make the best deals!“
Oh Gosh. Its again Rocket Man versus Dotard. I guess we have to listen to this drivel as both claim to have the bigger button, you know, on their desks
Which means N Korea will continue to rely on China.
Meaning, Kim and his cronies with live high on the hog, while NK citizens starve.
Well that didn’t work out the way realDonaldTrump told us it would.
This is Kim's 'let them eat cake!' moment. Well, on second thought, his whole existence is let them eat cake.
How banal of him
yeaa..so here we are rite back where we started...I mean..anybody can..' at least we tried'..but it takes a special kind of fool to 'try' without any respect of the knowledge of the history or who hes dealing with. 😏
You deserve you defend yourself.⚡
Kim Jong Un..with such a rich land..and thinking about bombs and shit..and hoping that Trump will open the door. Having his neighbor the Chinese and S.K he should start thinking about the future of his people instead of been such a selfish person. Dictatorship is not futuristic.
Democrats vow North Korea will pay for playing footsie w/Trump. He. Will. Pay.
What happened to the NK-SK reunification?
So sorry that Washpost has chosen to Censor your News on the largest political scandal in American history, The attempted Coup of a legally elected President by the opposition party using the FBI, CIA and MSM.
In other words, his ppl will keep starving and he'll keep getting fatter
Time is a flat circle.
