NK ‘Spokesman’: We Have ICBMs!

Today’s WTF headline is this piece of work by Kim Myong Chol, North Korea’s unofficial and unmedicated spokesman in Japan.  The real torment of this piece is the difficulty of deciding which of the choicest cuts to serve you:

Three factors make North Korea unique. The first is possession of a fleet of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of unleashing retaliatory nuclear strikes on the US mainland. Second, the North Koreans still torment the Americans as a result of their victory over them in the Korean War. . . .

The third is that North Korea is well geared for a nuclear exchange with the US, while the population of the US is anything but prepared for the worst-case scenario of the “day after”, despite its status as the world’s largest nuclear power. Neither is the Japanese population. Nor is South Korea. North Korea has little to lose in war. However, the US and Japan have too much to lose.

It’s tempting to give the North Koreans honors for outstanding contributions to their own undoing, but how can you possibly outdo who persistently refuse to take them at their word?  Not to mention the fact that Kim’s brand of  vitriol – including its racial  element – has a substantial following in South Korea.
