One of the most powerful women in North Korea: Kim Yo-jong, the sister of the dictator Kim Jong-un

DLNews Worldnews:

In the face of North Korea's nuclear threats, the United States has pledged its support to its ally South Korea - even in the event of an attack. North Korea is now reacting to the strengthened alliance and is sending dictator Kim Jong-un's sister forward.

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has once again issued threats and insults against the United States. Kim Yo-jong announced that North Korea would step up its military demonstrations. This is in response to the US decision to send nuclear-armed submarines to South Korea. Kim Yo-jong also insulted US President Joe Biden, who received South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol this week.

Kim Yo-jong said the US-South Korean deal demonstrates the allies' "most hostile and aggressive will to act" against the North, state media reports said, and will pose an even more significant threat to peace and security in the region. In addition, the Washington summit strengthened North Korea's belief in improving its nuclear weapons capabilities.

"The more the enemies insist on conducting nuclear war drills and the more nuclear weapons they deploy near the Korean peninsula, the more we will exercise our right to self-defense," she added.

"Princess of Pyongyang" makes propaganda.

The ruler's sister described US President Biden as senile and "irresponsibly brave." Biden warned on Wednesday that a nuclear attack by North Korea would end the government in Pyongyang. Kim Yo-jong said her country would not dismiss his words as "a nonsensical remark by someone in their prime."

Kim Yo-jong is North Korea's Ministry of Propaganda and Agitation director and is one of the country's leading figures. Among other things, she is also called the "Princess of Pyongyang." Her statement is North Korea's first comment on the meeting between US President Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol in the United States.

Given North Korea's armament, the politicians agreed that the USA would like to involve South Korea more closely in its plans in the event of a nuclear war. Among other things, immediate bilateral consultations were agreed upon in the event of a North Korean nuclear attack. Then you will react with all your might - "including the nuclear weapons of the USA" - quickly, overwhelmingly, and decisively. An American nuclear submarine should dock in South Korea for the first time since the early 1980s. Military training and simulations should also be intensified. It is about "occasional, clear demonstrations of strength" against Pyongyang. Despite popular pressure, South Korea renewed its commitment not to develop its nuclear weapons.

The issue of nuclear weapons is a sensitive one between long-time allies the USA and South Korea. North Korea's recent advances in its nuclear program have raised questions about whether the US government would be willing to use nuclear weapons to defend South Korea under the principle of "extended deterrence": the Pyongyang government is now developing presumably carrier rockets that could also reach US cities.

According to a survey in March, 64 percent of South Koreans support the development of their nuclear weapons. The Biden government rejects this.
