Kim Jong-un

North Korea’s Kim Jong-un is prepared to send army of up to 500,000 women soldiers to the frontline if war breaks out with the US.
This week, North Korea’s supreme leader showed of battalions of female soldiers, who took part in the nation’s biggest-ever live firing exercise, to mark the 85th anniversary of its military’s creation this week.
According to defectors’ estimates, Kim Jong-un sports a massive 500,000 women soldiers ready for war.

Tomorrow’s White House meeting between Donald Trump, Rex Tillerson, James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis and all 100 Senators could just be the biggest bluff of his Presidency and indeed the biggest bluff of recent US history. Of course it might not be. Both scenarios must be considered even though I lean heavily towards the ‘bluff’ theory.
I wish there was a better phrase for what I imagine this to be than a ‘made for TV Presidency’, but alas that is what it feels like.

Yesterday, the North Korean Ambassador to the UN gave a tense press conference in which he issued a statement promising that his nation would exercise the full right to self-defence in the event of an attack from the US.
He also affirmed that in his view, the threats from the US justify North Korea’s weapons programmes as it has shown that such things are necessary in order to both deter and defend against an attack.

It was a rare occasion in which select foreign reporters were allowed – under very close supervision (and minus their phones) – into the North Korean capital.

The large military parade and choreographed pageantry went off as expected, contrary to reports from NBC that the US would attack North Korea today. The report has subsequently been amended.

It appears Donald Tump is not satiated with flexing his military muscle in Syria nor with threatening to strike North Korea.
He’s continuing to up the ante. While nobody was paying attention, the United States Air Force just conducted its first test of a brand new nuclear bomb.
The National Nuclear Security Administration announced the news:

NBC news has reported that a US strike on North Korea may be imminent. According to the report,

“The U.S. is prepared to launch a preemptive strike with conventional weapons against North Korea should officials become convinced that North Korea is about to follow through with a nuclear weapons test, multiple senior U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News”.

                        The Malaysian government has done the right thing in keeping the channels of communication with the North Korean Government open. It wants an amicable resolution of the friction arising from the murder of Kim Jong-Nam, the elder brother of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un, at KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) 2 on the 13th of February 2017.

Malaysian police are looking for clues to solve last week’s bizarre assassination of Kim Jong-Un’s brother.
In a press conference this morning officials said that the two women suspected in the poisoning were “trained to coat their hands with toxic chemicals, then wipe them on his face, and also announced they were seeking a North Korean diplomat in connection with the attack.”
