North Korean state media has issued a detailed statement on its plan to launch missiles in the direction of the U. S. territory Guam. In the statement, General Kim Rak Gyom also insults President Donald Trump, calling him a “guy bereft of reason.” The commander of the Strategic Force of the Korean People’s Army also called Trump’s “ fire and fury ” threat “a load of nonsense.”
In the statement, Kim said Trump’s comments on Tuesday “is extremely getting on the nerves of the infuriated Hwasong artillerymen of the KPA, ” referring to the Korean People’s Army and the people who man the Hwasong-12, a mobile intermediate-range ballistic missile. Then, the statement goes on to insult Trump.
“On Tuesday, the KPA Strategic Force through a statement of its spokesman fully warned the U. S. against its all-round sanctions on the DPRK and moves of maximizing military threats to it, ” the statement reads. “But the U. S. president at a [golf] links let out a load of nonsense about ‘fire and fury,’ failing to grasp the on-going grave situation.”
“Sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him. This is the judgment made by personnel of the KPA Strategic Force, ” the statement continues.
Kim says that Hwasong-12 rockets will be launched towards Guam and will land in the waters 30 to 40 kilometers away from the small pacific island after flying over Japan. However, planning of the operation is still incomplete.
“The KPA Strategic Force will finally complete the plan until mid August and report it to the commander-in-chief of the DPRK nuclear force and wait for his order, ” the statement concludes. “We keep watching the speech and behavior of the U. S.”
