Kim Jon Un is a happy man, thanks to the US invasion of Iran. He feels vindicated that the US was not to be trusted.
Apparently, he believes that North Korea would have been as vulnerable as Iran if it did not have any nuclear weapons. The North Korean President actually said it was good that North Korea never gave up its nuclear weapons.
This week, while addressing North Korea’s 15th Supreme People’s Assembly, which is the republic’s highest organ of power, President Kim Jong Un alluded to the ongoing war in Iran. He said it was a relief that he neither succumbed to US pressure nor fell for Donald Trump’s “sweet talk” to have his country forfeit its nuclear weapons.
Obviously, this was a veiled way of saying that if Iran had a nuclear weapon, the US would not have dared to invade it. Un also declared that the decision for North Korea to retain its nuclear arsenal is now irreversible.
The US is Rogue, says Un
The excuse the US president gave for invading Iran was that the regime was on the brink of making a nuclear weapon.
Not only has there not been credible evidence to back the allegations, but the US itself has nuclear weapons. Russia has some. Israel has some. North Korea has some. China, India, the UK, France, and Pakistan all have some. And who knows who else might secretly have some?
Based on his observations and analysis, Kim Jong Un terms US behavior “terrorist”.
The world has mostly viewed Kim Jong Un as stubborn and confrontational, largely because of his tendency to test long-range missiles without consulting neighbors. However, many might now begin to see sense in his analysis of the US’ attitude toward other countries.
In any case, it is paradoxical that the country waging war on suspicion of nuclear ownership is the only one that has ever misused the arsenal. The US dropped two bombs on Japanese cities during the Second World War, one on Hiroshima, an important military center, and the other on Nagasaki, an important industrial port.
North Korea Forging Great Links with Russia
In January this year, Trump’s regime abducted and jettisoned Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro to the US, where he is now incarcerated and set to appear in a New York court today. Buoyed by the Maduro success, the regime initiated a war with Iran the following month. Trump then began to speak of what a good idea it would be to invade Cuba.
As Trump’s administration obsesses over the Middle East and Latin America, North Korea continues to forge a closer relationship with Russia. The republic has been a world pariah for years, owing to its defiant ownership of nuclear weapons. It is also a country that understands the pain of economic sanctions.
However, Russia has eased the country’s economic hardships over the years by supplying it with fuel and food. Russia could also potentially support North Korea with advanced military technology.
Conversely, North Korea has deployed its troops to help Russia in the war with Ukraine, and promised to supply the Putin regime with rockets and other war assets.
With Russia, North Korea, China, and Iran forging an alliance to counter what appears to be US bullying, a change in the world order is inevitable. And the man Donald Trump labeled “mad” in 2017 might be the one who receives a standing ovation for saying it as it is.
