The Korean War Continues With Biden’s Renewal of Travel Ban to North Korea

BY AMANDA YEE General Douglas MacArthur, UN Command CiC (seated), observes the naval shelling of Incheon from USS Mount McKinley, 15 September 1950 On August 22, the U.S. State Department renewed its ban on the use of U.S. passports for travel to North Korea. This travel ban prohibits as many as 100,000 Korean Americans living in the United States from visiting their relatives in North Korea. The ban was first set in place by the Trump administration in 2017, and—in spite of Korean American activists’ repeated calls to lift the draconian ban—has been renewed annually since. During his presidential campaign in 2020, Joe Biden had promised to “reunite Korean Americans separated from loved ones in North Korea for decades,” but has extended the travel ban each...

It is NOT north Korean BUT US nuclear weapons which threaten the world

Imperialism is the root cause of instability and war in the world. Koreans are right to defend themselves. KCNA Subscribe to our channel This article is reproduced from the Korean Central News Agency with thanks. ***** At the first session of the preparatory committee for the 11th Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference, the USA and its vassal forces unreasonably criticised the DPRK’s nuclear deterrent for self-defence as a “threat” to international peace and security and to the nuclear non-proliferation system. In this regard, the DPRK permanent mission to the United Nations office and international organisations in Vienna makes public the following press release: As for any threat to international peace and ...

North Korea says US soldier defected because of racism

Private Travis King crossed the DMZ checkpoint while on a civilian tour FILE PHOTO: A portrait of American soldier Travis King © AP / Morry Gash An American soldier who walked into the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea last month did so deliberately, seeking refuge from “racial discrimination” in the US, state news agency KCNA said on Wednesday. “During the investigation, Travis King confessed that he had decided to come over to the DPRK as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the US Army,” KCNA said. “He also expressed his willingness to seek refuge in the DPRK or a third country, saying that he was disillusioned at the unequal American society.” King is still being investigated ...

Nuclear war is inevitable – North Korea

The US should abandon its “hostile” policy if it is truly interested in dialogue, Pyongyang believes FILE PHOTO. © Global Look Press / US Space Force The world is just a step away from nuclear conflict, North Korean Defense Minister General Kang Sun-nam ewarned in a statement made public on Tuesday and presented at the Moscow International Security Conference. The official blamed Washington’s desire for regime change in Pyongyang for ratcheting up tensions. He also accused the US of increasing its military presence in the region by deploying nuclear-capable aircraft and a submarine to the area. “Now, the question is not if a nuclear war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, but who starts it when,” Kang warned. In this year alone, the US sent “massi...

Seventy Years On: Remembering Korea’s Pain

BY NILANTHA ILANGAMUWA Traditional Korean dance (Jinju geommu). Photograph Source: SJ Yang – CC BY-SA 2.0 Amidst these precarious times, where our humanity is continuously put to the test, nothing holds greater importance than our inflexible dedication to pursuing peace. However, it is truly enraging to witness self-proclaimed guardians of peace traversing the globe, stoking the flames of conflict in countries such as Ukraine and sabotaging any attempts at negotiations between warring factions. The inferno of war, which once consumed distant lands, now threatens to engulf the Asian continent again. The impending doom looms, and it is only a matter of time before an Asian nation succumbs to the whims of a deluded comedian, masquerading as a false hero, playing with the lives...

DPRK pledges firm support for Russia

Kim Yo Jong affirms her country’s solidarity while highlighting the futile criminality of the USA’s proxy war in Ukraine. Workers Party of Korea While many countries have refused to give open support to the US war effort, showing a clear turn away from the era when it could dominate and bully most of the world, the DPRK is among only a handful of brave states that have openly and at every turn given their full and unconditional support to Russia’s just war in defence of its sovereignty and independence. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1500233164%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-Jym6jGLPXdH&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true The following press statement was issued by Kim Yo Jong, vice-department director of t...

70 Years Later, the Korean War Must End

BY CATHI CHOI Photograph Source: Corporal Peter McDonald – Public Domain July 27 marked 70 years since the signing of the armistice that halted — but did not end — the Korean War. Since then, the divided Peninsula has been locked in a perpetual state of war that grows ever more dangerous. In recent weeks, the U.S. has flown nuclear-capable bombers, launched nuclear war planning talks with South Korean officials, and sent a nuclear-capable submarine to South Korea for the first time in 42 years. This followed the largest-ever live-fire military drills near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that divides Korea. North Korea has responded with missile tests — and recently threatened nuclear retaliation. As a Korean ...
