Victoriously guiding the revolutionary armed forces of People’s Korea forward along the one and only road of victory !

Today ,the 30th of December it is 12 years since respected Marshal KIM JONG UN was appointed by the Political Bureau of the Workers Party of Korea as Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army . Earlier in 2011 in the period immediately after the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL had passed away on 17th of December 2011 ,the daily paper of the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea ‘ Rodong Simun ‘ had urged respected comrade KIM JONG UN to take the Supreme Commandership of the Korean People’s Army.

Since becoming Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army(KPA), respected comrade KIM JONG UN has led the revolutionary armed forces of People’s Korea forward along the road of victory and glory , defying all obstacles and difficulties .People’s Korea has had to face US imperialism and world imperialism as well the hated south Korean fascist puppet regime . Countless war exercises have been staged by the US imperialists and south Korean puppets in south Korea . Such exercises are aimed at practising an invasion of the DPRK .Not only have the US imperialists and their miserable lackeys in Seoul threatened People’s Korea but the US dragged the armed forces of their vassal states such as the UK , Canada , Australia, New Zealand, France and Japan into various war provocation schemes and intrigues . The US imperialists also piled sanction after sanction on People’s Korea trying to suffocate People’s Korea.

Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN inherits the ideas and fighting spirit of the great generalissimo’s of Mt Paektu , President KIM IL SUNG and Chairman KIM JONG IL . Marshal KIM JONG UN countered the enemy’s hard line with an even harder line . After becoming supreme commander of the KPA Marshal KIM JONG UN paid deep attention to strengthening the KPA . This was signified by his visit to the famous Seoul Ryu Kyong Su No 105 Tank Division of the KPA , which was the army unit where Chairman KIM JONG IL began his Songun revolutionary leadership in August 1960 (it was also the first KPA unit to enter Seoul when it was liberated in June 1950 during the Fatherland Liberation War ). Marshal KIM JONG UN also visited far-flung army units and those on the frontline such as at Panmunjom .

The line of simultaneously developing the economy and nuclear force in parallel , a modern application of the original and Juche-oriented line of the Workers Party of Korea of developing the economy and defence in parallel ,was put forward by respected Marshal KIM JONG UN at the March 2013 plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea .

Under the guidance and command of Marshal KIM JONG UN the revolutionary armed forces of People’s Korea have been strengthened exponentially and have developed in depth . The DPRK has become a socialist nuclear power of Juche and now the DPRK’s nuclear status is enshrined in law . The DPRK has joined the club of ICBM powers and it now has its own military reconnaissance satellite .

Victory and glory belong to the revolutionary armed forces of Peoples Korea guided by Marshal KIM JONG UN , an ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander.

Modern-version "gladiators"

 

Nowadays, the south Korean people put an accusing finger at the members of ruling and opposition parties as modern-version "gladiators".

In the political circles of south Korea, the ruling and opposition parties have been constantly at feud with each other.

Due to the dog fights between the People's Power Party and the Minjoo Party of Korea for introducing of "a special prosecution system" to investigate the suspicion of Kim Keon-hee's illegality and corruption and "the preferential development in Taejangdong", the budget bill for the coming year has not yet been passed beyond its "legal period".

The Minjoo Party of Korea asserts that the fashionable word of undeveloped country goes to be clearly proved under Yoon engrossing in the scramble for hegemony strife, heedless of the people's livelihood which is impoverished, exerting pressure upon the PPP with "three investigations on state affairs".   

The Minjoo Party of Korea takes the budget bill as a hostage worsening people's wellbeing and it shows the real picture of a backward society in parliamentary politics, the majority-opposition party turns the congress into a stagnant one riddled with arbitrariness, abuse of official authority with impeachments, special inspection and reckless investigation on state affairs, the PPP resists.  

The reckless acts of the modern-version "gladiators" fighting at the risk of their lives make it impossible to pass the budget bill for the coming year.

The problem is that the ruling and opposition parties are both under strong public criticism, though they bite each other insisting themselves of enhancement of people's livelihood.

"The ruling and opposition parties are going to fight a battle without concession. As they are subjected to severe criticism of engaging themselves in violent political strife for the next year's congressional election, it is hard to see yet the prospect of budget bill.", "The antagonism between the ruling and opposition parties will be deeper in the extraordinary session of the congress rather than in the regular session.", "This political strife will be continued only to weaken the people's livelihood."

It is the real judgment of the south Koreans on the modern-version "gladiators" who are engrossed in their partisan interests and intentions, regardless of the people's livelihood

Counteraction by the DPRK

Recently,   the   Democratic   People’s   Republic   of   Korea   was   compelled   to change course and conduct a launch drill of ICBM  Hwasongpho-18. This was a tougher countermeasure against the hostile forces’ gross provocations which more seriously   threaten   the   security   of   the   country   and   the   region.   It   is   a   clear demonstration of what action the DPRK is ready to take rapidly and what it will choose to do, in case the United States makes a wrong decision regarding it.

Kim Jong Un, Guardian of Peace

Kim Jong Un was appointed as Supreme Commander of the armed forces of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on December 30, 2011. Over the past dozen years he has led his country to build up its self-reliant defence capabilities in order to defend peace and security in the Korean peninsula and beyond.

War Deterrent

The DPRK was a non-nuclear state. Yet it was subjected to decades-long nuclear blackmail by the US, simply on account of the differences in ideology and social system. 

The DPRK was compelled to go nuclear and adopt a nuke-for-nuke approach; it became self-evident that it must preserve, and upgrade if necessary, its nuclear weapons, taking them as part of the country’s eternal strategic assets.

The March 2013 Plenary Meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, presided over by Kim Jong Un, set up a milestone in developing the country’s self-reliant defence capabilities. In a matter of four years, the DPRK declared that it accomplished the great cause of building its national nuclear forces. The Hwasongpho-series intermediate-range and intercontinental ballistic missiles and Pukkuksong-series submarine-launched and ground-based ballistic missiles were developed. And the country’s nuclear technology was raised to such a high level that it could make nuclear weapons miniaturized, light, standardized and tactical.

Kim Jong Un directed constant attention to developing the country’s defence industry with a view to making its superiority in military technology more irreversible. 

He set the goal of defence building–to possess a striking power with which to annihilate outside the DPRK’s territory any enemy who dares to make an attempt at military actions against the country. According to this strategy, it developed the 600mm-calibre super-large multiple launch rocket system, new-type intercontinental ballistic missile Hwasongpho-18, hypersonic missile, reconnaissance drones, nuclear unmanned underwater attack boat Haeil, strategic cruise missile Hwasal and tactical nuclear submarine. It also equipped its army with world-class leading tanks, anti-aircraft missile systems, self-propelled gun howitzers and anti-armour weapons.

Now with a nuclear shield in its possession, the DPRK can actively cope with any type of threats and build up its strategic capabilities for the defence of peace and security.

Tough Approach

Over the past dozen years the situation in the peninsula was often brought to the brink of a nuclear war. Each time Kim Jong Un adopted a hard-line approach towards the hostile forces’ reckless manoeuvres, thereby defending peace and security of the country and the rest of the world.

In late February 2012, when the US and south Korea staged the Key Resolve joint military exercise by mobilizing the means of preemptive nuclear strike, he inspected Panmunjom on the military demarcation line in broad daylight. Perplexed by this bold action, the enemy abandoned their aggressive schemes.

In August 2015, when the hostile forces staged a similar exercise called Ulji Freedom Guardian and fired shells into the area of the DPRK side on the excuse of the “mine explosion” incident, he ordered the frontline large combined units to get into a state of war, armed so fully that they could start operation at any time, and declared a semi-war state in the frontline areas. This time, too, the enemy had no option but to stop their military provocations.

In 2017, the US fussed about the “annihilation” of the DPRK and dispatched its strategic nuclear assets, including a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, to the peninsula in order to thwart the DPRK in its effort to upgrade its nuclear weapons. 

In 2022 and 2023 the US-led forces went to extremes in trying to start a nuclear war. In response, the Korean People’s Army showed its willingness to counter nukes with nukes and frontal attack with frontal attack. 

As summarized above, the hostile forces’ attempts at a nuclear war were smashed to smithereens by Kim Jong Un’s tougher stand.

The Strategy of Hegemony Doomed

Today people the world over have similar views on Kim Jong Un and the DPRK.

First, Kim Jong Un’s courage, insight, foresight and leadership ability are extraordinary.

Since the first days of his leadership, he has seen through the US’s sinister schemes and refused to make an inch of concession in dealing with the matters related to the supreme interests of his country. As he predicted, the New Cold War structure is materializing on a global scale and the imperialists are growing undisguised in pursuing their strategy of suppressing sovereign states by force. And an increasing number of countries are joining in the struggle to oppose their hegemonic policies. 

Kim Jong Il has already turned his country into a bulwark of peace and is leading the Korean people to develop it into a powerful socialist country. This eloquently proves that his leadership ability is outstanding.

Second, when led by an outstanding statesman, even a small country can become a great power and render a substantial contribution to ensuring peace and security of the world.

So far, a few big powers have held sway over the world and small nations had little voice in the political arena. However, the DPRK, led by Kim Jong Un, has ranked among the world-class military powers in a short period and it is now recognized as an influential player in the world political arena.

No nuclear war has yet broken out on the Korean peninsula, which is one of the hottest spots in the world, and the trend of independence is growing worldwide–this is unthinkable apart from Kim Jong Un’s outstanding role. 

It is undeniable that the DPRK has become a world-class nuclear power. This eloquently proves that as long as the DPRK is led by Kim Jong Un and it stands at the forefront of the struggle for justice and peace, the imperialists will not be able to ride roughshod over this planet.
