Say, you look like you could use some more things to worry about. The wrinkles that have now become permanently chiseled into the skin of your forehead could stand to be a little more defined, carved out just a tad bit deeper. I guess trying to figure out how in the world to spend double the money on groceries with the same salary you’ve had for years, all the while trying to avoid getting mugged or raped in the supermarket parking lot by illegal migrants just isn’t doing the trick anymore.
Well, lucky for you, I have something guaranteed to do the trick.
According to Breitbart:
North Korea is believed to possess 50 nuclear weapons – 20 more than in the past year, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) revealed in its annual report published on Monday on global militaries.
SIPRI’s “Yearbook 2024 Armaments, Disarmament and International Security” report assesses the known arsenals of nuclear states as well as global military development. It once again found that the vast majority of known nuclear weapons are in the possession of America and Russia, but that communist China is making significant efforts to expand and modernize its own arsenal. Notably, the report documented “the first time China is believed to have some warheads on high operational alert” in 2024.
In its section on North Korea, SIPRI warned that evidence suggests communist dictator Kim Jong-un is “putting new emphasis” on Pyongyang’s nuclear assets.
If the fact an emotionally unstable, psychotic despotic dictator of a foreign country that hates America’s guts and has an even bigger stockpile of nuclear weapons doesn’t make you at least a little anxious, you might want to check into the local funny farm and get a CAT scan. There could be a few screws loose in your brain box.
“SIPRI estimates that the country has now assembled around 50 warheads and possesses enough fissile material to reach a total of up to 90 warheads,” the report went on to reveal, “both significant increases over the estimates for January 2023.”
“While North Korea conducted no nuclear test explosions in 2023, it appears to have carried out its first test of a short-range ballistic missile from a rudimentary silo,” SIPRI pointed out. “It also completed the development of at least two types of land-attack cruise missile (LACM) designed to deliver nuclear weapons.”
Just last year (2023), SIPRI put out an estimate that North Korea had 30 assembled warheads in its arsenal. The communist nation has not tested any of these weapons since 2017, however, they are regularly “firing off” — hehe — threats about using these weapons against South Korea, which it is in a formal state of war with, a conflict only being halted by an armistice agreement that was signed in the early 1950s.
Matt Korda, Associate Researcher with SIPRI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Programme, said in a press release accompanying the report that the sudden increase in nuclear development by North Korea is feeding “growing concern that North Korea might intend to use these weapons very early in a conflict.”
For decades, North Korean state media refused to identify South Korea as a separate country, referring to it as “south Korea” and its government as a rogue separatist entity fighting the rightful communist government of a unified Korea. This policy came to an end in January, when Kim Jong-un began referring to South Korea by its formal name, the Republic of Korea (ROK), and stated Pyongyang would not attempt to prevent the resumption of a hot war with its southern neighbor.
“The ROK scums are our principal enemy,” Kim remarked in a speech he gave that month. “While we will not unilaterally decide on a major upheaval in the Korean peninsula through the overwhelming force of ours, we also have no intention of avoiding war.”
Gee, you know, I don’t get why so many people don’t like Kim. He seems like a real swell guy that’s just a bit misunderstood. I mean, genocidal maniacs need love and respect too, right? I hope you catch the sarcasm here. This man is a menace to society.
South Korea reacted to the trash balloons by reinstalling massive loudspeakers in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) used to broadcast hours of content – including news of South Korea, political messages, and Korean pop music – to the North.
“The responses we take may be difficult for the North Korean regime to endure, but will deliver news of light and hope to the North’s military and residents,” South Korea’s National Security Council went on to say in a statement just before they started playing songs by the South Korean superstar boy band BTS all over the DMZ.
That is a sick and twisted form of torture, but given how much Kim and his regime suck, I fully support its use.
