Kim Jong Un Says Terrifying Thing in New Year Speech – This Should Worry Everyone
In his annual New Year’s speech Friday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he is ready for war if provoked by “invasive” outsiders.
In the address, his fourth since taking power in 2011, Kim spoke of the need to increase the “political and military might” of his country “in every way,” according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
“The year 2015 was a year of gigantic struggle recorded with significant events and eye-opening successes and a year of victory and glory that strikingly demonstrated the dignity and might of socialist Korea,” Kim said in the 30-minute televised speech.
“We will continue to work patiently to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula and regional stability,” he added. “But if invasive outsiders and provocateurs touch us even slightly, we will not be forgiving in the least and sternly answer with a merciless, holy war of justice.”
