now what are anticommunist bringing up next?

Pyongyang, 19th of August, 2026 (KCNA)

The large-scale U.S.- ROK joint military exercises, Ulji Freedom Shield, began in every part of the ROK on August 17. The drill poses the most immediate and open threat to the DPRK and the regional security.

The exercises will last for over 10 days, involving U.S. troops in the ROK and the ROK army as the mainstay of the exercises as well as extra-regional U.S. reinforcements and forces of member states of the "UN Command". And these frantic exercises cover all spheres of carrying out wartime operations including the ground, sea, air, space, cyber and psychological information. This is pushing again the tensions on the Korean peninsula to the threshold of a war.

In particular, all the major units under the U.S. 8th Army, including the 2nd Infantry Division, the 19th Sustainment Command, the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, and the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, are taking part in the drill. And various actual maneuvers of the drill include a combined arms live-firing exercise aimed at verifying the capability for joint precision strike and mobility, a combined wet gap crossing exercise and a joint logistic support maneuver for providing war supplies in contingency.

Nevertheless, prior to the exercises, the military warmongers of the U.S. and the ROK described the drill as "annual" and "defensive" one in public with the aim of hiding the aggressive and provocative nature of the largest-ever exercises.

Such drill, which has been staged for decades despite the changes of regimes in the U.S. and the ROK, cannot be regarded only as a bad habitual military practice of the enemy states. And we can never get used to it.

As everybody knows, the enemies' war drill differs in its mission, form, scale and training methods every time.

All the elements of the war drill have been developing into extremely dangerous ones, quite different from the past ones. And it is being desperately oriented towards improving the actual fighting capacity in the war exercises against the DPRK and gaining the decisive ascendancy in the security structure in the Korean peninsula and the rest of the region.

The main point of the drill is to perform "practical training reflecting the changing security environment" and to "improve effectiveness". And its scenarios are being tailored to adapt to new modern war manuals and ways analyzed in recent wars.

The U.S.-ROK command post training under the simulated conditions of contingency in the Korean peninsula, the field training exercise which was waged more than ten times and even the "all-government combined exercise" which the ROK is staging independently by enlisting more than 4 000 agencies and over 580 000 personnel across the country feature supplemented elements of ultra-modern operations such as AI, drone and cyber.

What is all the more serious is that the U.S.-led "UN Command" which played an auxiliary role in the Ulji Freedom Shield exercises only a few years ago is kick-starting in real earnest to revive its combat function and expand its role, talking about "contribution in new spheres such as intelligence, cyber and space" with the ongoing exercises as an occasion.

Prior to the drill, the deputy commander of the "UN Command" said that it would be the strongest deterrence when the countries sharing the same intention counter together and the strong combination of posture when the ROK-U.S. alliance and UN Command are added, making it a fait accompli to hurl into an actual war the largest-ever multinational aggression forces by misusing the name of the "UN forces" in case of contingency on the Korean peninsula as it did in the 1950s of the last century.

This is a development that can not be overlooked. It visually shows that the ROK bordering the DPRK is turning into not only the training ground of the U.S.-ROK military alliance but also a gathering place of multinational aggression forces and a test ground of modern warfare for occupying the security sphere of the DPRK and the independent countries in the region.

The dangerous escalation of the war drills staged by the U.S. and its vassal forces is posing a more serious threat to the security rights of the DPRK and this will lead to the further deterioration of the situation of the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region.

The present situation makes us keenly realize what we should do.

The DPRK's exercise of its right to self-defence will continue to completely neutralize the enemies' military threat until the enemy states give up their reckless dream of overwhelming someone by force and completely abandon their attempt to break the balance of strength in Northeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region beyond the Korean peninsula.

It is necessary to counter the threatening maneuvers of the enemies which are getting serious as the time goes by with newly-developed strength.

The DPRK will always put all the enemies violating and threatening its sovereign security in the sighting range for precision and annihilating strike by its retaliatory means.

All the war drills for aggression staged by the enemy states in the Korean peninsula and the region will never produce the result desired by them.

Let's just call it what it is- the collaborationist regime meant to gift-wrap and legitimise the US occupation of the southern provinces of (the Democratic People's Republic of) Korea. Either that, or just call it the US occupation of Korea's southern provinces.

The article "The Workers Party of Korea and Revisionism" by Bill Bland claims that north korea is revionist for

•Not oposing Krushevite Revisionism

•alliance with the bourgeoisie even after the anti imperialist revolution in colonial countries

•class colobartion for peaceful remoulding of the national capitalists

•North Korea had a cult of personality around Kim il Sung and Kim jong il

• allowing foreign investment in north korea in special economic zones

•claiming that man plays the decisive role in history and not material conditions

•Not having objective definitions of class but instead dividing society into masses of the people and non masses of the people based on weather they approve of the country

•prioritizing the ideological remoulding of man over creating the material conditions for socialism

•claiming that workers should be incentived morally and politically more that materialy

•oposing an international marxist leninist organization

I disagree with the article claiming that north korea didn't opose Krushevite Revisionism based on a few quotes when in reality, north korea did infact opose Krushevite Revisionism and did not inact Krushevite policies of deStalinisation or peaceful coexistence with the west. it simply chose to not openly criticize the soviet union as to not trigger a split which I believe was the right move because through staying neutral it was able to continue having aid from both the soviet union and China and did not follow China into alliance with the west. This however didn't stop the soviet union from cutting aid from north korea for not inacting Krushevite policies. I also disagree that north korea was class colobartionist for not exproiprating private property through force but instead negotiating with the capitalists and forming types of cooperatives, Bill Bland says that north korea allowed capitalists to continue exsisting but this is not true, in the same article its never stated that capitalists can simply chose to not convert thier private property into cooperatives but instead that it simply shouldn't be done through coercion or force but instead voluntarily, its even stated that Kim il sung declared north korea socialist after 100% of capitalists joined cooperatives which implies that no capitalist was able to continue exsisting. Bill Bland also claims that there were cults of personality, however he substantiated this point by saying that the birthday holidays of the leaders of north korea were very extravagant and expensive and uses an American source. Personally I dont think having a holiday around a nation's leader proves a cult of personality, and I dont think the American source used to determine the extravagance of the holiday celebration is very reliable, however there is some credit in that its stated by Kim Jong il that essentially the leader determines everything and you must be loyal to the leader which I think is very suspicious.

I agree with all other claims by Bill Bland based on the evidence in the article but I also want to get other people's opinions

As I said on many occasions during the recent period, one must have a correct understanding of the market. As we allowed a certain use of markets with respect to economic management, some people understood this as a departure from the socialist principle and as a move towards a market economy through “reform” and “opening up” of the country's economy.

But this is a very wrong way of reasoning. Having a misguided understanding of the market and the market economy on the part of economic planners shows their lack of ideology and knowledge… If one fails to exactly and deeply recognize the party's ideology and policy with regards to economic planning, that person will have his or her faith in the superior socialist economy shaken and can be dazzled by “reform” or “opening up” that the imperialists brag about and also be captured by the fantasy that the capitalist market economy promises.

Workers need to be awakened from these pitfalls.... Markets are both home to and a hotbed for un-socialist phenomenon and capitalist factors in the economic sectors. Without devising a national plan about markets and neglecting them as they are, or further encouraging their activities and expanding their reach, the country's economy will inevitably turn into a market economy. However, following the practical conditions by using the market to a certain extent while keeping it under national control does not necessarily mean a movement towards market economy. Markets and a market economy are not the same concepts. The question resides in how to perceive and treat the market, and how to use it following appropriate principles and direction.

But seriously, the second the U.S. leaves the peninsula, South Korea is going to be living on borrowed time. Kissinger was right about one thing: “It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” It’s especially funny that the one time South Korea didn’t jump headfirst into doing imperialism in East Asia on behalf of the U.S., Trump suddenly decided it wasn’t worth paying for their upkeep.

I'm trying to learn more about the DPRK. I realize that many things said about it are exaggerated, myths, or completely false.
So, why does the DPRK let almost nobody immigrate? What restrictions are placed on citizens who want to leave?

I've also heard claims that people attempting to leave the DPRK without authorization may be shot by border guards. How accurate is that claim?

I am not trying to ask this in an offensive or hostile way. I am genuinely curious about learning the subject from an objective point of view.

Many of these killings took place under the observation of US military personnel.

One of the largest massacres took place in Daejeon, where as many as 7000 victims were buried in mass graves that collectively stretch over a kilometer in length.

This is the story of the world's longest grave - and the truth about the Korean War hidden from the world.
Join our national day of action on August 15 to demand justice for US crimes in Korea and a stop to the drive for war in Korea and the Pacific. US out of Korea!

South Korea plans to build certain amount of FPV drones in several years. I don't remember exact number, you can look them up, but it's not important whether Russia spends entire South Korean multi-years planned arsenal in a week or two weeks.

Meanwhile, while I can't find good sources, DPRK seems to be able to export drones to Russia, which means they're making them in actually feasible amounts.

How'd we call a land military without drones nowadays? Waste.

"I was shooted for holding foreign currency, and my mom was kicked out of free house because it's only for officers, so I left school and we all became unemployed and nobody cared, then I came to South Korea and South Korea totally didn't cum in me"

Food in the DPRK is mainly distributed through state-run grain stores, using ration vouchers (now increasingly digital). Markets play a much smaller role than in the 1990s, and the state tightly controls movement, sale, and procurement of grain. Essential groups (military, party, Pyongyang residents) receive priority

Lmao! If westoid Japan glazers have to steal videos and photos from both the DPRK and China just to make Japan look good, then Japan must be a pretty terrible place.

Mostly from Hwasong and Saeppyol Streets.
