At a key parliamentary meeting on January 15, 2024, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un called for constitutional changes to define the South as the “No 1 hostile country” and to codify a commitment to “completely occupy” its rival in the event of war, state media reported on January 16. The announcement followed a sharp rise in tensions between the two Koreas in recent months.

Funny how Kim says he doesn’t want war but dismantles all peace and reunification facilities. Mf wants war he just doesn’t want to start it, dude wants the excuse.
Zelenskyy never wanted peace and took the same measures
@@ethosforeign728lmao you sound goofy asf
He did not say that they dismantled peace organisations but organisations that supported peaceful re-unification. That's a difference.
😱@@ethosforeign728

“We do not want war, but also have no intention of avoiding it.”
That is some doublethink right there.
All this means is that they don't want war, but if war is brought upon them or if they are provoked, they will certaintely do everything to defeat their enemy. Maybe understand the things which they are saying and their actions. North Korea didn't attack one single nation since the Korean war.
It did kidnap some japanese@@revolter7094
@revolter7094
You missed the entire point, the worrying part isn't about if they are provoked, it's more of what so they define as to what constitutes as provoking them,for all we know SK or the US could say one word that triggers Kim and that could be enough to see nukes fly.
War war war!
North claims right for South Korea, same with South to North Korea, war is inevitable for that intention, however Kim will have to wait till Russia and Ukraine settle ties before they engage in battle.

To be brutally honest, the dream of the two Koreas reuniting, at least peacefully, was always extremely far-fetched at best.
North and South are the complete opposite of each other politically, socially, and ideologically.
The South is a democratic republic (albeit with some considerable flaws), while the North is one of the most repressive dictatorships on earth.
South Koreans don't want to share the wealth with North Korea
Is south Korea really a democratic country？ Isn't it a colonial of USA and politician controlled by the capitalism？
"democratic republic
The South is pretty much a vassal of the US. When US says jump, they have to say 'how high'.
How do you know this about North Korea??? Because that is what the msm tells us to think and believe about North Korea?
You need to re-evaluate your understanding of South Korea.
For those not aware, NK is effectively calling the US 'top enemy'. If you knew how many military bases the US has in SK, you'll know what im talking about.
And they are proving the US right in having those bases there

@@iamhardwell2844 Hmm maybe something called NATO,,ever had of it and Germany is a big democracy,,if they didn't want the bases they could easily tell them to leave but US contributes over half NATO military budget so its a partnership between the two,,US contributes the money and they have access to deploy forces rapidly anywhere in Europe
the USA will abandon it once things get rough like they did in Afghanistan.

On the flipside, he has basically isolated north korea further by openly claiming to be “independent” from the south. Remember, south korea doesn’t recognize the north as an independent country. This will be seen as separatist behavior.
both germany back then faced pressure from the people. in korea's case, only one side wants that. the people in the north are not willing to go against their supreme leader.
The two are two different countries with totally different cultures. Plus in the North, no one is willing to go against the current status. It's been engrained in their brains that the Kim family are godlike and everything else should be exterminated. They are pretty much a cult.

In fact, there is no country called "Korea". DPRK calls itself ”Joseon" (조선), and Pyongyang used to regard South Korea as “South Joseon” (남조선). ROK calls itself "Hanguk" (한국), and Seoul regards North Korea as ”North Han“ (북한). People from countries outside the Sinosphere may have difficulty understanding these from English translations. Kim's doing this is equivalent to declaring unilateral independence. Maybe he will change the country's English name later, and then claim that Joseon and Hanguk are two ethnic groups that are not affiliated with each other.
What does the word' Korea" means to Korean? Just curious.
@@ryujinalgr7530 the koryo dynasty
What were Korean people calling their countru before separation? Joseon, Hanguk or just Korea?

@@witchreturns2263 Korean people called themselves joseon(조선/朝鮮) from 14c to 19c. In 1890s, the joseon king change the coutry's name to "empire of great Han "(대한제국/大韓帝國). But chinese and japanese still called them joseon. Then Korea was annexed by Japan in 1910, and Japan established the Governor-General of Chōsen/朝鮮總督府(pronunciation of the word "joseon" in Japanese). During the Japanese colonial period from 1910 to 1945, ordinary people still called themselves Joseon. But those intellectuals who wanted independence called themselves Dae Han/great Han(대한/大韓), and then established the Provisional Government of Republic of great Han(대한민국大韓民國) in China, the predecessor of the Republic of Korea(대한민국 dae-Han-min-Guk or 한국 Han-guk) in the south. At the same time, the Koreans (mostly Communists) who participated in the anti-Japanese war in northern China still called their homeland joseon. In 1948 they established the Democratic People's Republic of Joseon (조선 민주주의 인민 공화국/朝鮮民主主義人民共和國) aka DPRK.

hello
if you read Korea's history, it is really sad because all of this happened because it was in an unlucky geographical situation between China and Japan :(
No, it happened because the US and the USSR wanted control of Asia and used Korea as their playground for war games!!
@worldmedia1476 China had nothing to do with this before the US stepped in. Its Japan that cause this situation. You could add Russia to the equation too.
do you even read real history lol
Korean genetics are half Chinese half Japanese. Without that history, there would be bo Korea. Korea would just be China.
China did not inflict so much damage, it was mostly caused by Japan and the USA in 20 and 21 st century

And then declare US as an enemy lol
In his world view, he believes his people are suffering because of evil USA who stopped them from controlling entire Korea, put sanctions on them leading to hard economic conditions. He probably thinks a new world order with China and Russia will change their fortune and position in world in the future.
His father made nuclear weapons. So, Kim jong un has no choices. Other countries can not tolerate NK's nuclear weapons. But he can't lost the military admiration.
From spoiled brat to dictator real quick 😂 Hope he reads this as he probably has access to youtube, unlike the rest of his country 😂
@@akoharold He's probably in south korea tinder with his burner account
At least North Korea is realistic enough to realize it is impossible to reunify with South Korea now. After over 78 years, the 2 koreas have grown apart too much. They are as different as heaven and earth now. They might as well as just coexist peacefully and luve in mutual respect. They should just sign a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War. Lastly, i just hope North Korea would treat their people better and at least ensure their people have enough to eat and live a normal life like everyone else in the world.
Hard to do that when US impose needless sanctions
From when the East German GDR had deleted national unity and starvation for re-unification from the constitution it took less than 30 years until Germany became one state. However the 70th and 80th years were decades of detaint in Europe and both German states were behaving less and less hostile to each other then. The situation in the world looks much different these days.
They will never treat their people better
Probably one of the reasons they dont want this to happen is because they dont want the north koreans to see how other people are treated in their countries, on what being treated humanely and having human rights look and feel like.
The systems and power structures in the North and South have grown appart, but North aknowledging South as not only separate but potentially hostile now shows their rejection of the idea that the South are part of the whole that is the Korean people, with a shared history and culture but torn apart by war and geopolitical interests. Unification wasn't possible, but now a divided country is two separate countries.
A common joke I've heard is that every time Kim Jong Un launches a missile half of the country goes hungry for a month
Half the country already is hungry, so i guess half the country cries themselves to sleep

Under the Chinese-korean treaty if you started the war without any provocation then you’re on your own. The Chinese has made this very clear to DPRK.
Honestly I agree with China's stance on that and that's how it should be with any country. Start a war without being provoked should result in you being on your own without any form of aid whatsoever.

I guess he was the last to know. I don't know why people think this is bad or scary- once the two countries realize that they're two countries, they can perhaps get along a little better. Now it's South Korea's turn to renounce the goal of unification.
No, because they are trying to forget their ethnic history thus there will be no more reason left for them not to attack the other side.
@@marckobuendicho3883 Well, there is fear of extermination-level retaliation. That could be compelling.
South Korea never wanted reunification, it always wanted to annex North Korea and overthrow their system, similar to what FDR did to GDR on Germany question. This is unacceptable regardless of whether we like the DPRK or not. Kim Jong Un also acknowledges that, and it's assuming openly what ROK always thought and acted.
And guess what, the country that invaded and destroyed North Korea, it's the same leading to the escalation done by the South counterpart. In case of war, the US will lead the South Korean army. How can this be a war between just two countries? North Korea, with all its defects, is truly independent, it does not take orders from China or Russia.

While it is important to approach geopolitical issues with caution and sensitivity, it is concerning that the recent changes to the North Korean constitution, particularly declaring South Korea as its 'top enemy,' have heightened the already precarious situation in the region. This move raises serious concerns about the potential escalation of tensions and the increased threat of nuclear conflict, further jeopardizing the stability of the Korean Peninsula and global security.

Right, Kim was going to dismantle his bombs and launch systems...? The only country besides South Africa to give up their nuclear weapons voluntarily is now at war with Russia in year 3.
Kim knows that. Ghaddafi had a credible nuclear weapons program. He rebounced that in return for security promises. Couple of years later he was fked to death with a sword on the streets. Kim knows that too. The Nr. 1 lesson is never give up the the bomb. It's the only real bargaining chip they have and the only real security guarantee there is. Ukraine gave up 9000 nukes. 50% more than the US has now. Almost as many as Russia and US combined today. Ubder the Budapest memorandum their borders and sovereignty was protected by the US, France and Russia of course who received the arsenal of the former Soviet Republic.

In order for them to hold onto power, they need the people to believe in a constant 'enemy', and be in a constant state of emergency.

Also, North Korea is a heavily sanctioned country. So even though the government of North Korea are the bad actors here, they'll weaponize sanctions against them and turn it into anti-American political propaganda.

Korean here. I personally disagree with your statement. The Lee family (Rulers of Joseon and Daehan), doomed us since 1866. When there were multiple attempts at modernisation, they pushed back, dooming the nation. The only exception is Gojong, but he was too late, and his nation was absorbed into Japan. I would say that had Korea been perserved in 1910, the royal family would be universally hated by the public.
