Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, threatened today in a statement to break the pact to reduce military tension with South Korea signed in 2018 in response to the maneuvers joint military that Seoul and Washington carry out these days.

The influential sister of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un lashed out at the “daring” of South Korean President Moon Jae-in, whom she sees as “a parrot brought up by the United States.” for a speech he gave on the situation in the peninsula.

The brutal regime often uses missile fire to build tension, and last week’s launches were the first major provocation since US President Joe Biden’s inauguration in January.

Washington and Tokyo assured that the projectiles were ballistic missiles, despite the fact that the United Nations Security Council prohibits them from Pyongyang. Instead, North Korea claims that these are guided tactical weapons.

South Korean President Moon, who was the architect of the spectacular 2018 rapprochement between Washington and Pyongyang, delivered a very measured speech on Friday in commemoration of the North Korean attacks of 1999.

He did not specifically mention the North Korean shooting but declared that actions likely to hinder a resumption of the dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington are “undesirable.”

This speech angered Pyongyang and Kim Yo-jong, an influential adviser to his brother Kim Jong Un, who saw in them the “height of daring.”

He was speechless”, according to a statement released by the official North Korean agency KCNA, in which he refers to Moon whom he calls “the CEO” of the South, without citing him by name or official position.

He called it a “parrot brought up by the United States.” We are far from the “détente” of 2018, when Moon paid a visit to Pyongyang, where he delivered a speech to a crowd at the May 1 Stadium.

Following the North Korean missile fire, Biden warned Pyongyang that there would be “answers if (North Korean leaders) choose to escalate.” “It will be an appropriate response,” he warned. Although states have left open the possibility of diplomatic exchanges with the north, the White House said Monday that it “has no intention” of meeting with Kim.

In January, Kim Jong-un already warned that he would start testing new weapons if the US did not propose new formulas to return to the talks and this past weekend Pyongyang he criticized President Joe Biden’s response to his test, warning of a potential new dialectical escalation and military trials on the peninsula.
