North Korean Workers' Party General Secretary Kim Jong-un said that North Korea's constitution should specify that South Korea is its main enemy.
Kim Jong-un said in his speech at the Supreme People's Assembly held in Pyongyang yesterday (15th) that
it is right to specify in the relevant article of the Constitution that education and culture projects will be strengthened to firmly regard the Republic of Korea as the number one enemy and unchanging main enemy. said.
Kim Jong-un also said that in the event of war, the issue of completely occupying, pacifying, and restoring South Korea and incorporating it into North Korean territory should be reflected in the constitution, and that the constitutional amendment should be deliberated at the next Supreme People's Assembly.
If you look at the situation on the Korean Peninsula for several decades, it has always been North Korea that has taken the lead. It seems that North Korea has always taken the lead in such a way that the South Korean government reacts and responds. But if we tell you the exact time, President Chun Duhan is now losing his popularity. It was February 1988 when President Moon Jae-in stepped down from office, and it was probably about 32 years until May 2020 when President Moon Jae-in stepped down from popularity. During that period, North Korea had political leadership on the Korean Peninsula. Then, if President Yoon Seong-yeol becomes President, that leadership would be Rather, I think that the Republic of Korea is on its way. So Kim Jong-un's reaction this time is a sign of his anger at losing the initiative, and there are several criteria when analyzing that strategy. When we hear you say that, we can tell what you mean.
Strategic analysis is not complete with intention alone. Does Kim Jong-un have the power to carry out that intention? Does Kim Jong-un really have the power to do what he said on the Korean Peninsula? Do an accurate analysis by looking at both the ability and intention. I will tell you today. Over the past three years, North Korea has never had the initiative. However, after the inauguration of the Yoon Song-yeol government in May 2022, it seems that the Republic of Korea has begun to take the lead in international politics on the Korean Peninsula. And Kim Jong-un's angry remarks this time are truly outrageous. It is an expression of anger at the fact that the initiative is being taken away.
Below is the original text of Kim Jong-un's speech on January 16th. Through this, we can understand Kim Jong-un’s intentions.
| We do not want war, but we have no intention of avoiding it either. A war would bring about the terrible destruction and destruction of the Republic of Korea, and it would bring unimaginable disaster and defeat to the United States. If North Korea provokes us, we will do it many times over. We will punish. The disguised peace tactics of threats of war or peace no longer work. The reality of unification as an opponent and compatriot has completely erased the contradictory baseline concept and has been regulated as a completely foreign country and the most hostile country. National unification 3. Subsequent measures, such as the demolition of the Daejang Memorial Monument, will also be implemented [Music]. The Korean section of the Gyeongui Line will be completely physically cut off to the point of no recovery. We must completely eliminate the concept of unification as a compatriot from the national history of our republic, including demolishing the monument to the three charters of national unification, which is located in the southern Hanmun gate of the capital, Pyongyang. To make it clear, we will never do anything unless the enemy touches it. We will not go to war unilaterally. We will never do this to our weakness. We do not want war, but we have no intention of avoiding it either. There is no reason to choose war, and therefore we have no intention of settling it unilaterally. If the war goes on, it will not be avoided, and the war will end in a terrible destruction of the reality of the Republic of Korea, and it will inflict unimaginable disaster and defeat on the United States. If the enemy sparks even a spark of war, the Republic will mobilize all military power at its disposal, including nuclear weapons, to resolutely punish our enemies. We will begin national affairs. The North Korean authorities will treat inter-Korean relations as two hostile countries, not as compatriots. I have stipulated that the North Korean regime itself is anti-national, and we will punish it many times over. The tactic of camouflaging peace by threatening war or peace no longer works. |
