Kim Jong Un Threatens Nuclear Strike if South Korea and U.S. Push Too Far

Daniel Kim Views  

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un issued a stark warning, stating that if enemies attempt to use military force against North Korea, the country’s military would not hesitate to deploy “all means of attack,” including nuclear weapons.

According to the North Korean state-run newspaper Rodong Sinmun, Kim delivered this message during a speech at Kim Jong Un National Defense University on the 7th. He threatened that if North Korea were to unleash its full range of offensive capabilities, hopes for survival would be “so futile that even divine protection” could not save South Korea.

Kim expressed deep concerns over the evolving South Korea-U.S. alliance, which he described as becoming increasingly “nuclear-based.” He accused the United States and South Korea of engaging in a military buildup that could disrupt the strategic balance on the Korean Peninsula. “The destruction of the power of strategic balance on the Korean Peninsula signifies war, and we shall not allow even the slightest disruption,” he warned.

In his address, Kim emphasized North Korea’s commitment to accelerating its military and nuclear advancements, saying that the country’s nuclear response posture must reach “an unprecedented level” given the shift in the South Korea-U.S. alliance.

He also urged the infinite advance of the military science and defense industry and the strengthening of self-defense and deterrent capabilities as the enemies try to gain a strategic advantage and overturn the balance of power with their nuclear alliance.

Kim’s speech also included harsh criticism of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s recent Armed Forces Day address. He dismissed Yoon’s comments as “abnormal thinking” and mocked the establishment of South Korea’s strategic command, calling it a “facade without substantial strategic weapons.” Kim further ridiculed Yoon’s call for an “overwhelming military response” to threats, asserting that no commander, no matter how powerful, could overcome the gap between nuclear and conventional strategies.

Kim advised that South Korea’s path to safety lies in refraining from using military force and avoiding provocations. He added that as long as South Korea does not flex its military might against the North, “everything will be fine.” In a pointed message to Yoon, Kim suggested that instead of engaging in “reckless bravado,” Yoon should focus on managing tensions to prevent military conflict with a nuclear-armed state.
