North Korean Citizens Volunteer to Join Military Against United States in Response to Military Drills
Recently, North Korea has reported that a record number of its citizens have volunteered to join or reenlist in the nation’s military in response to the ongoing military drills being conducted by the United States and South Korea. The state newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, reported that approximately 800,000 students and workers expressed their desire to enlist on Friday alone, demonstrating a level of patriotism and commitment to the nation’s defense that is almost unprecedented.
This mass mobilization comes just days after the North Korean regime conducted a successful intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch, which drew condemnation from governments across the world. The North’s ballistic missiles are banned under United Nations Security Council resolutions, yet the regime continues to develop its nuclear arsenal and test-fire missiles, provoking strong reactions from other nations.
The joint military drills, dubbed “Freedom Shield 23,” have been held on a scale not seen since 2017, involving South Korean and American forces. The drills aim to counter North Korea’s growing threats, but North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sees it as aggression, accusing the United States and South Korea of increasing tensions.
Despite the international pressure and military drills, it seems that North Koreans are willing to stand up and defend their country against any perceived threat. The high number of volunteers for military service shows that the North Korean people are ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their nation’s sovereignty.
It is worth noting that in recent years, North Korea has made significant advances in its military technology, including long-range missiles and nuclear weapons. With the public’s unwavering support, it appears that North Korea is determined to continue its progress in this area, irrespective of pressure from the international community.
In conclusion, North Korea’s recent mobilization of its citizens for military service highlights the nation’s unwavering commitment to defending its sovereignty. The joint military drills being conducted by the United States and South Korea have only served to increase tensions, and it is clear that North Korea will not back down in the face of perceived aggression. Only time will tell what the future holds for North Korea, but one thing is for sure: the regime sees a strong and well-equipped military as its best defense against its perceived enemies.#North #Korea #claims #people #signed #military #fight #Reuters
