Your rule will end…South Korea’s direct warning to Kim Jong Un on nuclear weapons

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol warned North Korea in a speech marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of his country’s military that its regime would be ended by Seoul and Washington if it used nuclear weapons. Yoon celebrated the long-standing alliance with the US to mark Armed Forces Day and to strengthen consultations on the deployment of US nuclear assets in the region to deter Kim Jong Un from trying to attack. Signed the agreement with President Joe Biden.

If North Korea uses nuclear weapons, its regime will be brought down by a forceful response from the ROK-US alliance. Yun said Tuesday, referring to his country by its formal name. He also criticized Pyongyang for its pursuit of nuclear weapons and said its people were paying the price. Yoon said the North Korean regime’s obsession with developing nuclear weapons has increased the suffering of the North Korean people. The North Korean regime must clearly realize that nuclear weapons will never be able to guarantee its security.

South Korea held its first military parade in a decade in Seoul to mark the anniversary, featuring thousands of troops and the latest military hardware such as domestically manufactured long-range surface-to-air missiles. The KF-21 fighter aircraft, a next-generation lightly armed helicopter, which was already scheduled to be displayed at an airshow, was stopped due to bad weather.
