Seoul, South Korea CNN — North Korea will no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with South Korea, Kim Jong Un has declared, as his nation vowed to put three new military spy satellites into orbit in 2024.

Kim said inter-Korean relations had become “a relationship between two hostile countries and two belligerents at war,” the state-run news agency KCNA reported.

“It’s time for us to acknowledge the reality and clarify our relationship with the South,” Kim said, adding that if Washington and Seoul were to attempt a military confrontation with Pyongyang, its “nuclear war deterrent will not hesitate to take serious action.”

“I believe that it is a mistake that we must no longer make to deal with the people who declare us as ‘the main enemy’ and seek only opportunities for ‘[our] regime collapse’ and ‘unification by absorption’ by collaborating for reconciliation and unification,” Kim added.

    I am genuinely curious if kim et al. actually believes this “norh korea is the main enemy of south korea and the world” or is it just propaganda and they are aware that the world doesn’t give a rat’s ass about north korea, as long as they leave us alone.

      I’m pretty sure Kim knows at least. He grew up in Switzerland after all and speaks Korean with a Swiss accent, according to some sources

        Are there not any videos of him speaking that a typical Korean could confirm or deny that claim?

          Yeah, that’s why I added “according to some sources”, I can’t speak Korean, so I can’t verify it
