Kim Yo Jong, deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, released the following press statement on Thursday:

It is said the sound of a hollow drum is louder.

Empty vessels make the greatest sound. An event marking the “ROK army day” held in Seoul on October 1 proved it.

This time the ROK invited lots of cohorts and staged a series of such farces as ceremony and street march to commemorate the day.

It displayed the “three-axis system” and more than 80 kinds of military hardware, including manned or unmanned weapon systems, clamouring with all rhetoric about the feature of a “strong army” and “demonstration of deterrent against the north”.

To say a word about such event, it was no more than a foolish farce with neither trace nor echo as if a pack of stray dogs passed across a stream.

However, as the event was so loudly advertised by the ROK, I am going to comment on it with a few sentences.

Really distinctive was that a US B-1B strategic bomber appeared as the main player of the event and reviewed the ROK army.

Amid the US strategic bomber flying over Seoul, the commander-in-chief of the ROK forces and his stooges and the three services of the puppet armed forces courteously lined up and paid regards to it. The scene was so pitiful to see alone. It may be unique in the world military parade history and the best scene that can be produced only in the colonial ROK.

A great irony was that, not content with the B-1B, the puppets put on the stage an odd monster, called Hyonmu-5 ballistic missile, embellished with absurd sophism that it is little short of a tactical nuclear weapon class as its warhead weights eight tons.

Perhaps, the ROK puppets have a strange way of thinking that a conventional warhead, if its powder increases in weight, can be transformed into a nuclear warhead.

It may be appropriate for demonstration or consolation of them, but the world people undoubtedly cannot but question its military purpose.

Who would make such a “huge cart” for the launch of merely eight-ton warhead? The reason is that it only looks like a deformed thing, grown bigger only to carry the eight-ton warhead.

I can simply explain the military effectiveness and might of our multiple rocket launchers in comparison.

Our one multiple rocket launcher, which is not equal to half the size of the “deformed cart,” is calculated to be capable of producing explosive power equal to 900 tons in terms of the explosive capacity of a conventional warhead.

If a man had a certain degree of common sense, he could not have talked about the “end of regime” of someone by demonstrating such a weapon of worthlessly large bulk.

Shame on them.

If it had not been opened to the public, the “mysterious ghost weapon” would have been more effective for propaganda.

However hastily they wanted to show that they are not being pushed back from the confrontation of strength, this is a foolish act in front of the nuclear weapons state. And they proved by themselves once again that they can never cross the line of inferiority in strength, the fate of a non-nuclear weapon state.

Media boasted of the TEL’s mobile ability of sidewise movement, which is only a function necessary when parking.

Next, let me mention Yoon Suk Yeol’s remarks that the event was more significant with the establishment of the Strategic Command of the ROK.

The group, which has not possessed a single strategic weapon, cooked up the “strategic command.” This is little short of a mange-affected dog wearing a helmet.

A dog may wear a helmet, but can it turn into a tiger or lion?

Nevertheless, Yoon clamoured in full tide of passion that they have a “core strategic force giving faith and trust to the citizens.” It is nothing but the sight of a hungry dog barking with the joy of getting a bone.

Yoon, who has entrusted his security to his master and is bragging about his strength by relying on him, is a little naïve in my view.

The tragedy is that Yoon is not aware at all that all the recent despicable behaviours are hastening the time of his self-destruction.

Though the head of our state put a precondition of the word “if,” he re-clarified the stand to use all the strike forces of the country without hesitation if the ROK attempts a military confrontation with the DPRK, being overconfident of the ROK-US alliance.

The confrontation outcry, raised by Yoon Suk Yeol with war fever this time, is no more than a last-ditch scream of a guy at death’s door.

Even if he was mad over bluffing, it was none other than an exposure without filtering of the anxious and impatient psychology.

What the ROK clearly showed through the recent farce from beginning to end is that the ROK, trained completely into a cheap mercenary of the US and reduced to cannon fodder for realizing its master’s ambition for hegemony, is fearlessly dashing into the bottomless pit of downfall, together with the US falling into decay and ruin with each passing day.

All in all, the world people will surely ask. Was the event marking the ROK “army day” a “boast of strength” by a group of stray dogs or a funeral procession of colonial mercenary army?

The answer is clear.
