There's so much news about North Korea right now and what Un is doing, I got a suggestion for a NK megathread, so here it is. Post the world's greatest nation's antics here. I'm merging a few of the more recent threads to continue discussion.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in has pushed for a new plan for a rapid war with North Korea and an overhaul of the country's defense industry to overwhelm and crush the North's government, the South Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo reported Tuesday.

Moon took office in May promising to attempt to engage diplomatically with North Korea and seek peace, but in the months since, the North has provoked the international community with missile tests at a blistering pace.

For some time, South Korea has been training a "decapitation force," reportedly with the help of the US Navy's SEAL Team 6, but now an increasingly bold North Korea may demand quicker action.

South Korea's new plan identifies more than 1,000 targets for precision missile fires and sites for marines to drop in and quickly kill North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the paper reported.

The plan represents a more independent version of South Korea's current plan, which relies on support from US aircraft carriers. As it stands, no major military commander recommends military action against North Korea, which has a staggering array of conventional — and potentially nuclear — weapons pointed at Seoul, where 26 million call home.

But South Korea's new plan to quickly and decisively dominate the North relies on reforming the defense-acquisition process and cutting out wasteful spending to wield the full might of its economic dominance against Pyongyang, according to the report. For that reason, don't expect the plan to take effect anytime soon.

There's a reason we're on fairly good terms with them despite our colonial rule, unlike a certain other country that has fifty nations proudly celebrating the day they finally fucked off and went home, the USA included.

Huh. So which British events are worse?

See, you start off with a solid grasp - then veer into the mongzone. Britain is the Gold Standard for "doing bad things to foreigners" since it's one of the few countries to treat its natives worse than its enemies.

So Britain, by default, is on good terms with all of its decent former subjects. The ones which aren't, often, have a massive inbreeding problem. Bitching about Britain mistreating the darkies misses the entire problem with the USA.
 
Only in North Korea. Takes a long time to grow such people, and NK just killed two. Pretty fucked up.

N. Korea executes nuclear power plant researchers over project failures​

They were branded "anti-party figures" who had "contradicted the party's guidelines for socialist construction"

North Korean authorities have executed and imprisoned several key researchers involved in nuclear power plant construction, Daily NK has learned.

According to a Pyongyang source speaking to Daily NK on Tuesday, two senior researchers were executed and four junior researchers were punished for “failing to successfully complete their project and close the gap with international technological standards.”

The executions took place at 4 p.m. on Jan. 10 in an empty lot along Nampo road in Pyongyang’s Mangyongdae District. All staff connected to the nuclear power plant construction project were required to witness the event. While the two senior researchers were executed on site, the four junior researchers were transported to an undisclosed location, believed to be a political prison camp.

The executed senior researchers were officials from the Ministry of Atomic Energy Industry’s technology division, responsible for developing reactor design and operation technology. They were reportedly held accountable for failing to meet technical targets set by the Central Committee.

The issue came to a head during December’s 11th Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, where officials condemned the researchers for “willful neglect” and “defeatism.” They were particularly criticized for claiming certain tasks were “too hard to achieve given our capabilities” – a stance deemed unacceptable given that nuclear power plant construction is central to addressing North Korea’s chronic electricity shortage.

The Cabinet, Central Public Prosecutor’s Office, and Ministry of Social Security branded them “anti-party figures” who had “contradicted the party’s guidelines for socialist construction.”

However, other researchers in the field suggest the punishments were excessive, noting that the failures stemmed from resource shortages and technical limitations rather than lack of commitment. The source indicated that the executed researchers had been dedicated to their work and had openly communicated challenges to the Workers’ Party. Their fate has dampened morale among remaining staff.

In the aftermath, the Ministry of Atomic Energy Industry has appointed a new research team to lead the project, with the Central Committee mandating increased party oversight of technological research and development.

North Korea said Thursday a "serious accident" occurred the previous day during a ceremony to launch a new warship, with its leader Kim Jong-un calling it a "criminal act" that could not be tolerated.

The accident took place Wednesday at a shipyard in the eastern port city of Chongjin during a ceremony to launch a newly built 5,000-ton destroyer, attended by the North's leader, according to the Korean Central News Agency.

Citing "inexperience command and operational carelessness" in the course of the launch, North Korea said a "serious accident" occurred as the launch slide of the stern departed first and was stranded while the flatcar failed to move in parallel.

Some sections of the warship's bottom were "crushed," destroying the balance of the warship, and the bow couldn't leave the shipway, it reported.

After watching the whole course of the accident, Kim said, "It was a serious accident and criminal act caused by absolute carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism which is out of the bounds of possibility and could not be tolerated," according to the KCNA.

He ordered the restoration of the warship to be "completed unconditionally" before a plenary meeting of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea set for June and gave an important instruction related to an investigation into the accident.

"The immediate restoration of the destroyer is not merely a practical issue but a political issue directly related to the authority of the state," Kim said.

The political bureau of the WPK decided to convene the 12th plenary meeting of the party's central committee in late June to review the first-half performance and policies for the second half, the KCNA said in a separate dispatch.

In April, North Korea unveiled its new 5,000-ton multipurpose destroyer, named the Choe Hyon, as part of its efforts to enhance its naval power. It said the warship is equipped with supersonic strategic cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles and other strike means. (Yonhap)

On a blistering morning earlier this week, an unusually large crowd had gathered at Imjingang Station - the last stop on Seoul's metropolitan subway line that inches the closest to North Korea.
There were dozens of activists and police officers, their attention fixed on one man: Ahn Hak-sop, a 95-year-old former North Korean prisoner of war who was making his way home, to the other side of the border that divides the Korean peninsula.
It was what Mr Ahn called his final journey - he wanted to return to the North to be buried there, after spending most of his life in South Korea, much of it against his will.
He never made it across: he was turned away, as was expected because the South Korean government had said they did not have enough time to make the necessary arrangements.
But Mr Ahn came as close as he could.
Weakened by pulmonary oedema (a build up of fluid on the lungs), he could not manage the 30 minute walk from the station to the Unification Bridge - or Tongil Dae-gyo - one of the few passageways connecting South Korea to the North.
So he stepped out of the car roughly 200 metres from the bridge and walked the final stretch on foot, flanked by two supporters who steadied him.
He returned holding a North Korean flag, a sight rarely seen and deeply jarring in the South, and addressed the reporters and 20 or so volunteers who had turned up in support.
"I just want my body to rest in a truly independent land," he said. "A land free from imperialism."

The Respected Comrade has been honouring DPRK dead from the SMO.

Photos included in link.


You know that destroyer that sank? It's gonna float in September.


/ourgirl/ has been laying down the law


@Traummaschine

That's just what gooks look like without makeup or plastic surgery. And DPRK is gookier than the ROK by far, being basically a frozen mountain fortress.

Possibly, but what would stop them from having a bunch of boys on the team?

God damn it dude not everyone who doesn't look like a 10/10 wisp of a woman is a tranny. Gooks look like that without makeup and plastic surgery. DPRK doesn't have tranny bullshit like in the West, but supposedly every village has a crossdressing bottom (who may very well have gender dysphoria, can't really know)

Not talking about trannies, they could just have straight up boys on the team.

But of course they can also have "trannies" in the DDR state sponsored doping program way.
