Ah, thermonuclear warfare. Gotta love it!
From The Telegraph:
The revision was adopted at the first session of the 15th Supreme People's Assembly, which opened on March 22 in Pyongyang. It was made public on Thursday in a briefing to senior members of the South Korean government by its National Intelligence Service (NIS).
According to the NIS briefing, Kim has command of the North's nuclear forces, but the changes codify procedures for retaliatory attacks in the event that he is incapacitated or killed.
The amendment was a direct response to Trump removing the dictators of Venezuela and Iran this year, the former by "extraction" and the other by missile strike.
The revised Article 3 of the nuclear policy law states: "If the command-and-control system over the state's nuclear forces is placed in danger by hostile forces' attacks ... a nuclear strike shall be launched automatically and immediately.'
One Russian expert said this was probably the policy before, but now North Korea wants it enshrined in public record.
The regime's ballistic warheads can travel over 8,000 miles, putting Alaska and the edge of the western U.S. at risk, but American allies like Japan, South Korea, and many other SE Asian countries are directly in clear and present danger.
Lil' Kimmy has been testing a bunch of these missiles in recent years, including launches directly over Japan.
Fortunately, North Korea has a few wrinkles to iron out before it's able to deliver on all its military threats! π
