Kim Jong-Un Wants North Korea To Participate In The Winter Olympics

I guess “not threatening the world with nuclear war” wasn’t one of Kim Jong-un’s New Year’s resolutions.

In a recent New Year’s Day address, Kim Jong-un issued another warning to the United States, reminding us that “The entire United States is within range of our nuclear weapons,” adding, “a nuclear button is always on my desk.”

Lovely.

However, he says this is NOT a threat.

“This year, we should focus on mass-producing nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles for operational deployment,” he said. “These weapons will be used only if our society is threatened.”

Says the dictator who 1.) Perceives absolutely EVERYTHING as a threat and 2.) Threatens nuclear war like it’s his day job.

It gets weirder. Kim Jong-un kinda sorta tried to sweet talk South Korea. He wants to weasel North Korea into participating in the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.

“North Korea’s participation in the Winter Games will be a good opportunity to show unity of the people, and we wish the games will be a success,” he said.

No. No no NOOOOO. You starve and murder your people. They’re tortured and brainwashed. You don’t even allow them to LEAVE THE COUNTRY. You expect them to treat you like a god. Stuff it, you fat freak. Why on EARTH should the world give North Korea a shred of legitimacy that way? Why should we allow you to send your puppets?

Some are saying this is Kim Jong-un extending an olive branch. I say it’s BS, but South Korea is biting.

Seoul responded warmly and welcomed the prospect of talks. A spokesman for South Korea’s presidential office said it has been open to the idea as long as talks are related to improving inter-Korean ties and building peace.

A pair of North Korean figure skaters have qualified for the Games that begin on Feb. 9, and South Korean President Moon Jae-in has made it clear he wants North Korea competing in PyeongChang. Last month, he told NBC News he hopes the 2018 Olympics “will be able to promote the peace between the North and South Korea and become an Olympics for peace.”

If you seriously believe that allowing a disgusting dictator to send some of his puppets to compete against the world in various sports will lead to peace, you’re high. That’s all I’m going to say about this.
