Residents in Seongju County vowed today(7.17) to extend their organized struggle against the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery there. One day earlier(7.16) some 200 representatives from the public and private sectors in the county in North Gyeongsang Province set up an Anti-THAAD Struggle Committee to stage a long-term, systematic fight against the deployment of the anti-missile unit. The committee members said they would continue rallies until the gov't withdraws its THAAD deployment plan...
Already two days earlier(7.15) Seongju residents became really angry and changed from defensive/pleading MO into (a kind of)DIRECT ACTION...

However, the intra-Korean solidarity to support the struggle against the THAAD deployment is - to put it lightly - (possibly a bit)LUKE-WARM: "On Saturday, some 300 members of civic groups staged a joint demonstration in downtown Seoul against the stationing plan..."(K. Herald, 7.17)

Last Tuesday(3.08) The Guardian(UK) reported that Russia has warned North Korea that threats to deliver “preventive nuclear strikes” could create a legal basis for the use of military force against the country, suggesting that even Pyongyang’s few remaining friends are growing concerned about its increasingly confrontational stance...(here you can read the full article)
One day later the German (bourgeois)newspaper Die Welt quoted Zhang Liangui(professor of international strategic research at the Communist Party’s Central Party School/he is considered one of China’s top experts on North Korean affairs) regarding to the ongoing warmongering by the N. Korean regime. According to the paper Zhang said that it can lead to the converse of a proposition by the allies(USA &ROK): Resolve NK's nuclear threat NOW... before it's too late!
Only two days later Kim Jong-un replied(analogous: F*ck you!!)...
Last Sat.(3.12) KCNA announced that...
The KPA General Staff in charge of all operations of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK, upon the authorization of the dignified Supreme Command, formally declares the following military counteractions: From this moment, the first combined task units stationed in the eastern, central and western sectors of the front will go over to carrying out the operation for preemptive retaliatory strike at the enemy groups involved in the Ssangyong drill.
It is the Juche-oriented counter-operation mode of the KPA to immediately contain and wipe out by force of arms troops and means involved in the operation the moment it judges their scenario to intrude into inviolable territory, air and waters over which the DPRK's sovereignty is exercised.
The KPA will counter the enemies' wargames with the operation to liberate the whole of south Korea including Seoul and the enemies' tactics of "high-density strike" with an ultra-precision blitzkrieg strike of the Korean style...
The KPA is waiting for the moment to punish the aggressors, keeping them within its firing range. The gun roar for retaliating against the aggressors will turn out to be fireworks celebrating national reunification. The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK holding tightly the arms to annihilate the enemies with towering hatred for them are waiting for the dignified Supreme Command to issue an order to launch a preemptive strike of justice on the aggressors...
And yesterday's Rodong Shinmun explained the "blitzkrieg strike of the Korean style": Sacred war of justice to be fought by the DPRK is a war for achieving the country's reunification and an operation for liberating all parts of south Korea to be conducted like a blitzkrieg... The revolutionary Paektusan army equipped with powerful weapons of Juche is now waiting for a final order after turning the mode of its counteraction into that of a preemptive offensive so that it may wipe out the enemy at a stroke if it shows a sign of provocation. If the U.S. imperialists and the Park Geun Hye group of traitors make desperate efforts to ignite a war despite the DPRK's repeated warnings, the world will clearly witness how it will wipe out them to the last man with merciless and preemptive nuclear strikes.
PS. The witch of Chongwadae(aka Park Geun-hye) is bound to meet a tragic painful end in face of stern punishment by the army and people of the DPRK...(Rodong Shinmun, 3.13)
[MUST READ] "If a war occurs, Chinese public opinion will support the country's actions given how China's security is threatened. The Chinese public hopes that such a war... should not go beyond the border of the Yalu River..." Three editorials, regarding the current (possibly^^)strained situation on the Korean Peninsula, published recently in the Chinese Global Times:
☞ Public opinion may alter China’s NK policy (环球时报, 2.15)
☞ China must prepare for worst in the Korean Peninsula (环球时报, 2.17)
☞ US spurs Pyongyang’s risky nuclear moves (环球时报, 2.20)
Yonhap News Agency reported y'day afternoon(KST 17:00) the following: South Korea said Wednesday it has decided to "completely" suspend the operation of a joint industrial complex in North Korea in response to the North's recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch. The Unification Ministry announced that it will stop the operation of the Kaesong Industrial Complex in the North's border city of the same name, the last remaining symbol of inter-Korean reconciliation...(more you can read here)
And today - exactly 24 hours later - came(via KCNA) the North's tit-for-tat response: The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) issued a statement Thursday condemning the U.S. and the south Korean puppet group for declaring the total suspension of the operation in the Kaesong Industrial Zone (KIZ)...
The CPRK solemnly clarifies internally and externally the following crucial measures in view of the prevailing situation:
- Firstly, the DPRK will totally block the Military Demarcation Line near the KIZ from 10 am, Feb. 11, 2016, cut off the roads along the west coast in the areas under the control of the north and the south and close the KIZ and declare it as the area under the military control.
- Secondly, it will expel all persons of the south side in the KIZ till 5 pm, Feb. 11, 2016.
- Thirdly, it will completely freeze all assets including equipment, materials and products of the south Korean enterprises and relevant organs in the KIZ. The persons to be expelled are not allowed to take things out of the zone, except for their personal belongings, and the frozen equipment, materials and products will be put under the control of Kaesong City People's Committee.
- Fourthly, the military communication and Panmunjom hotline will be cut off the moment the personnel of the south side are expelled.
- Fifthly, all workers of the DPRK will leave the KIZ on Feb. 11, 2016.
The south Korean puppet group will experience what disastrous and painful consequences will be entailed by its action.
