Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN an astute leader defending the independence of Juche Korea !

                                                         

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) carried out a series of tests of missiles guided  by respected Marshal KIM JONG UN , the chairman of the Worker's Party of Korea , Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the armed forces of the DPRK . A total of 5 missile tests were made:on the 26th of July (the day before  the DPRK's victory day  ,July 27th), 1st of August , 3rd of August , 7th of August and 10th of August  . The tests took place over a period of 15 days exciting the attention of the world media as well both friends and foes of the DPRK . Of course the tests did not violate the DPRK's moratorium on the launch of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) nor did they violate any UNSC resolution as the DPRK is not bound by such UNSC resolutions which are illegal.
                             

  It is a very impressive number of missile tests carried out in short space of time. In 2017 the DPRK conducted 17 missile tests over the whole year , about roughly one per month . However this time the DPRK has upped the pace of the tests to about one per 3 days , an unprecedented pace  which demonstrates the high level of modernisation of the DPRK's self-reliant defence industry and indeed the might of Songun .
                                 

     It can be said that a missile test a day keeps the US imperialists away . One is reminded of the famous Latin maxim Si vis pacem, para bellum ,if you want peace ,prepare for war .The missile tests are a hint to the US and others that in future the DPRK could resume tests of ICBMs .
  What the missile tests show is that respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is taking no chances with the security and defence of Juche Korea. The world was shocked when Marshal KIM JONG UN boldly accepted the offer of a meeting with US leader Trump. This showed the will of the DPRK Supreme leadership to resolve the contention with the USA in a peaceful way without recourse to a war.  The DPRK is a responsible and peace loving nation that does not want to see a third world war break originate from the soil of the DPRK. Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN has always maintained a tough anti-imperialist independent stand , in fact one of the toughest in the world but at the same time he demonstrated himself to be flexible and creative. If the chance to resolve the situation on the Korean peninsula peacefully arose, then respected Marshal KIM JONG UN would seize it . When the first DPRK-US summit was announced and took place some people worried about the fate of the DPRK , would it end up like the revisionist Soviet Union or China ? . The mainstream media and so-called 'academic experts' spun all sort of rumours and speculation . There was talk that the DPRK would surrender all its nuclear weapons, that a McDonalds ( a symbol of US cultural domination and imperialism as well as decadence). However nearly 14 months after the 1st DPRK-US summit  , not a single DPRK nuke has been dismantled and there is no sign of a McDonalds in Pyongyang ! Indeed
we can compare the stance of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN with that of Khruschov during the
Cuban missile crisis of 1962 who withdrew the missiles stationed in Cuba after a mere 6 days after US imperialist pressure and left revolutionary socialist Cuba in the lurch.
                                       

   Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN wants peace  but at the same time realises that peace cannot be achieved simply by fine words and handshakes. He is a wise and astute leader who knows not to trust the imperialists , that words must be backed up by deeds . The US and south Korea have staged aggressive military exercises in south Korea since the beginning of August. They thought they were
being very clever by renaming the exercises but old wine in new bottles does not fool anyone. Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN on the 7th of August watching the test fire of missiles stated
that"' military action would be an occasion to send an adequate warning to the joint military drill now underway by the U.S. and south Korean authorities."
  Really it is very simple if the US and south Korea do not like the DPRK testing missiles then should stop holding exercises in the south Korea threatening the DPRK and honour the agreements ,declarations and statements they signed with the DPRK , it is as simple as that. The US and south Korea have continued with the hostile anti -DPRK policy keeping sanctions on the DPRK as well as slandering the socialist system of the DPRK.
  Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is an astute leader defending the independence and security of Juche Korea , under his leadership the DPRK is prepared for both peace and war . It is up to the US and south Korea which they choose.
