At the meeting that ended Saturday, Kim accused the United States of posing “various types of military threat” and ordered his armed forces to maintain “overwhelming war response capability,” according to KCNA. It is a “fait accompli that a war can break out at any time on the Korean peninsula due to reckless moves by the enemies to invade us,” Kim said.

At the meeting, Kim said he would no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with South Korea, noting the “persisting uncontrollable crisis situation” that he said was triggered by Seoul and Washington.

    My partner of nearly 5 years is Korean, and grew up in Seoul. We’ve been to Korea together. We’re going again in a few months for the wedding of one of her cousins.

    I understand the work culture is awful there. I think it’s messed up too. But you don’t have to be an asshole.
