After the tension that is going on between Ukraine and Russia, we now are hearing news about North Korea threatening South Korea with a nuclear strike. Yep, Kim Jong Un’s sister and Member of the State Affairs Commission of North Korea, Kim Yo Jong openly threatened South Korea with a nuclear strike if they ever attempted an attack on them. Her threat seems more like a challenge to the new president, Yoon Suk-yeol, who is soon taking power in Seoul.
Kim Yo Jong recently said that if South Korea will ever opt for military confrontation then they will inevitably have to use nuclear combat force. This was her second warning to the new president in the last 48 hours.

Earlier Kim Yo Jong had called Suh Wook, the Defense Minister of South Korea, a “senseless and scum-like guy.” And recently, she said that if the neighbouring country “opts for military confrontation with us, our nuclear combat force will have to inevitably carry out its duty.”
The comments that Kim Yo Jong in the state media clearly indicate that she is still the face of Pyongyang’s policies towards South Korea. Her comments were in response to Yoon Suk-yeol who pledged to take a tougher route with North Korea and China.

In fact, when Suh Wook reaffirmed that South Korea has the ability to launch preemptive strikes on Kim Jong Un’s country, Kim Yo Jong said that they are also prepared for a “dreadful attack” of their own and that, “… the south Korean army will have to face a miserable fate little short of total destruction and ruin.”
Honestly, with all the war tensions that are looming over us, I have to say that it is a bit scary. I hope that both of them remain calm and just choose the path of peace.
