Well let's remember that the South Korean government has signed a military pact with Japan without the parliament approval...

For NKorea this might be a red line as they hate Japan with a passion... as many still do in the South...

Lawmakers renew criticism on government over military pact with Japan

In a rare display of unity, lawmakers of the rival parties lashed out at the government on Wednesday for its botched attempt to seal a controversial military pact with Japan.

The South Korean Cabinet has approved the pact behind closed doors, drawing mounting public criticism for cooperating with the former colonial ruler. The public anger eventually forced the government to delay the signing of the deal with Japan at the last minute.


Hopefully this is not related to this or it could be real bad.

NKorea could use the anger in SKorea to try something. (I doubt it very much but just saying)


NKorea laughs at us yet again...

Interesting that he took the title his father used... wonder if he'll feel compelled to live up to it...

Wait, this does look like news...

"A decision was made to award the title of Marshal of the DPRK (North Korea) to Kim Jong-un, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army," the Korean Central News Agency said in a report.

Shortly after a 7.62x39 round entered Ri Yong Ho's skull he was reported to have a splitting headache and be unfit to serve. smiley

I'm sure it didn't to any permanent damage. He'll be back on his feet in no time.
