Despite heavy rain, people gathered in areas throughout Seoul to make their voices heard on various diplomatic, military and political issues, Tuesday, marking the 72nd anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japan's 1910-45 occupation. Amid heightened tension among neighboring states and allies, around 10,000 activists gathered at Seoul Plaza to demand the withdrawal of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery, as well as the halting of Korea-U.S. military drills...(source: Korea Times, 8.15)
Thousands of protesters packed the streets near Seoul City Hall in a rally that started at 3:30 p.m., calling on the Moon administration to scrap the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system. “The deployment of THAAD should be pulled back as it is of no use to defend South Korea,” one of the rally organizers said on a podium at the square... “The US has recently increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula, voicing out threats of military action (against North Korea), but no one has the right to take military action here, and the threats must stop now,” the organizer told the crowd...(source, K. Herald, 8.15)

[Translation] General Kim Rak Gyom, commander of the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army, released the following statement on August 9:
As already clarified, the Strategic Force of the KPA is seriously examining the plan for an enveloping strike at Guam through simultaneous fire of four Hwasong-12 intermediate-range strategic ballistic rockets in order to interdict the enemy forces on major military bases on Guam and to signal a crucial warning to the U.S.
On Tuesday, the KPA Strategic Force through a statement of its spokesman fully warned the U.S. against its all-round sanctions on the DPRK and moves of maximizing military threats to it. But the U.S. president at a golf links again let out a load of nonsense about "fire and fury," failing to grasp the on-going grave situation. This is extremely getting on the nerves of the infuriated Hwasong artillerymen of the KPA.
It seems that he has not yet understood the statement.
Sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him. This is the judgment made by the service personnel of the KPA Strategic Force.
The military action the KPA is about to take will be an effective remedy for restraining the frantic moves of the U.S. in the southern part of the Korean peninsula and its vicinity.
The Hwasong artillerymen of the KPA Strategic Force are replete with a strong determination to fully demonstrate once again the invincible might of the force, which has developed into a reliable nuclear force of the Workers' Party of Korea and the world's strongest strike service, through the planned enveloping strike targeting the U.S. imperialist bases of aggression.
The Strategic Force is also considering the plan for opening to public the historic enveloping fire at Guam, a practical action targeting the U.S. bases of aggression.
This unprecedented step is to give stronger confidence in certain victory and courage to the Korean people and help them witness the wretched plight of the U.S. imperialists.
The Hwasong-12 rockets to be launched by the KPA will cross the sky above Shimane, Hiroshima and Kochi Prefectures of Japan. They will fly 3 356.7 km for 1 065 seconds and hit the waters 30 to 40 km away from Guam.
The KPA Strategic Force will finally complete the plan until mid August and report it to the commander-in-chief of the DPRK nuclear force and wait for his order.
We keep closely watching the speech and behavior of the U.S. (source: KCNA, 8.10)
“China should also make clear that if North Korea launches missiles that threaten US soil first and the US retaliates, China will stay neutral,” the Global Times, which is widely read but does not represent government policy, said in its editorial...
Today's TOP STORY in the int'l media...
Well, yesterday's Asia Times(HK/中國) published a kind of "constructive idea"(MUST READ!!) how the NK-PROBLEM(incl. missiles, atomic weapons + Kim Jong-un) could be solved as soon as possible: ☞ $1 billion plan to kidnap Kim, prevent war
Welcome to the (sad!!)reality...

Ten days ago(7.23) Korea Times reported the following: The Moon Jae-in administration has begun internal discussions on whether it is possible to replace the 1950-53 Korean War armistice with a peace treaty...
The talks follow a proposal from a presidential advisory panel - the administration's de-facto transition committee - that Moon lay the groundwork for peace on the Korean Peninsula...
As part of a five-year policy roadmap, the committee said it was necessary to forge an agreement with North Korea on its complete denuclearization by 2020, President Moon's fourth year in office...(here you can read the full story)
Two days ago(7.31) - via a KCNA "commentary" - NK delivered its "idea" regarding a "peace treaty", proposed by the SK gov't: The south Korean authorities recently revealed their true colors as confrontation maniacs through the "strategy on the north" of the "five-year program of state administration".
They recklessly set "denuclearization of the north" until 2020 as the general orientation of the "north policy", although the DPRK declared that it can never talk about the inter-Korean relations with the "nuclear issue" as a precondition.
This is absolutely unpardonable as it blocks the road for improved north-south relations, disregarding the principled stand of the DPRK on the "nuclear issue".
The south Korean authorities' "strategy on the north" has no essential difference from "denuclearization, opening and 3 000 dollars" and "confidence-building process on the Korean peninsula" touted by the Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye groups of traitors, and it is more cunning and disgusting in sinister intention.
In the "strategy" they called for the establishment of "human rights foundation", settlement of the issues of "POWs of south Korean army and south Korean abductees", support to the "defectors from the north" and promotion of the plan for the establishment of the "Centre for Unification" openly showing the scheme for "unification through absorption" and confrontation of social systems.
Turning blind eyes to the basic problems such as defusing of politico-military confrontation between the north and the south, they talked about "new economy guidance idea" and "unification of economy". This proves that the present south Korean authorities are interested in making "administrative achievements" and claptrap tactics.
The "strategy on the north" after the "new Berlin declaration", which has already been denounced by Koreans, is an intolerable insult to the north and a declaration of the overall confrontation between compatriots.
The north-south relations will never improve with the "nuclear issue" as a precondition.
The powerful nuclear deterrence of the DPRK is the righteous option for self-defence to protect the dignity and destiny of the nation from the U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail and it is now guaranteeing peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.
The south Korean authorities should not imprudently talk about "denuclearization of the north" but make efforts to scrap nuclear weapons of the U.S. which reduced south Korea to the world's biggest arsenal of nukes.
If they challenge the just demand of the north and mindset of south Koreans who took part in the candlelight actions, they would meet the miserable end of the predecessors.
It would be wiser for them to ponder about the consequences before having the axe to grind.
In short, NK - possibly(^^) - just wanted to say: F*CK YOU &shove it up your ass!
