Stung by the Kim Jong-un regime’s firing of another ballistic missile over Japan just hours after his offer of humanitarian aid, South Korean President Moon Jae-in declared Friday that dialogue with North Korea is impossible — and warned that the South has the power to destroy it beyond recovery.
Korea JoongAng Daily reports that Moon held a National Security Council meeting at 8 a.m. and condemned the North’s latest provocation. “Under this circumstance, talks are impossible,” Moon said.
“To force the North to come onto the path of dialogue, the international community’s sanctions and pressures will become far more suffocating.”
JoongAng says Moon warned the North that it will never be able to get back on its feet if it attacks the South.
“We have the power to destroy the North beyond recovery if it provokes the South and our allies,” he said, promising that the government will defend the country with its own military power as well as combined defense capabilities with the United States.
Smart move threatening NK at this juncture…as NK just got the A bomb and out of all the states SK is the worst off: a freaking bronze age catapult can throw a nuke bomb into capital seoul.
NK is not threatening invasion of anyone, just getting its deterrent arsenal. Missile over japan while annoying but Korean pennisula is surrounded by all sides: China to West Russia to North SK to the south Japan to south and East. Only East over japan will land in waters with little land overpass and that’s the direction NK fired. I’d say thats "considerate" given the situation lmao….it could fire south over and near capital Seoul and Metro Tokyo before landing in waters.
That Moon dude need a wake up kick in the arse. So far as far as the "alliance" goes they ain’t got nothing reasonable to offer to defuse the situation peacefully but just making it worse. WTF is China and Russia doing. Next security council resolution need to include terms BINDING the stupid anglo-2 stooge alliance to make concrete, measurable peaceful diplomactic effort on THEIR COLLECTIVE END to cool the rhetoric and military standoff, or they need to be sanctioned along with NK!
