Kim Jong Un's Sister Calls S. Korean Leadership 'Idiots' For Considering Sanctions

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th November, 2022) North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's sister and deputy director of one of the departments of the ruling Workers' Party's Central Committee, Kim Yo Jong, on Thursday criticized Seoul for its push to impose new sanctions against Pyongyang and called the South Korean leadership "idiots" who continue creating a "dangerous situation" under pressure from Washington.

On Tuesday, South Korean foreign ministry spokesperson Lim Soo-suk said that Seoul was closely consulting with Washington and Tokyo to boost the effectiveness of possible unilateral sanctions against Pyongyang's cyberactivities if the North conducts a seventh nuclear test.

"If they think that they can escape from the present dangerous situation through 'sanctions', they must be really idiots as they do not know how to live in peace and comfort. I wonder why the south Korean people still remain a passive onlooker to such acts of the 'government' of (South Korean President) Yoon Suk Yeol and other idiots who continue creating the dangerous situation. Anyhow, Seoul had not been our target at least when (former South Korean leader) Moon Jae In was in power," Kim said in a statement, as quoted by the North Korean state-run news agency KCNA.

The politician warned Seoul that "the desperate sanctions and pressure of the U.S. and its south Korean stooges against the DPRK (North Korea) will add fuel to the latter's hostility and anger and they will serve as a noose for them," as quoted by the news agency.

North Korea has launched dozens of missiles toward South Korea since the start of 2022, including an intercontinental ballistic missile last week. The South Korean president ordered the preparation of new deterrence measures against North Korea and "a strengthening of security cooperation between South Korea, the U.S. and Japan." Pyongyang said its military-related activities came in response to provocations by Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo.
