They have meetings in Tokyo on Tuesday before speaking to officials in Seoul on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take this opportunity to warn the new U.S. administration trying hard to give off (gun) powder smell in our land,\u201d she said. \u201cIf it wants to sleep in peace for coming four years, it had better refrain from causing a stink at its first step.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kim Yo Jong, a senior official who handles inter-Korean affairs, also criticized the U.S. and South Korea for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2021\/03\/07\/us-and-south-korea-scale-back-military-drills-over-virus-north-korea-diplomacy\/\">holding military exercises<\/a>. She also said the North would consider abandoning a 2018 bilateral agreement on reducing military tensions and abolish a decades-old ruling party unit tasked to handle inter-Korean relations if it no longer had to cooperate with the South.<\/p>\n<p>She said the North would also consider scrapping an office that handled South Korean tours to the North\u2019s scenic Diamond Mountain, which Seoul suspended in 2008 after a North Korean guard fatally shot a South Korean tourist. \u00a0&#8211; article<\/p>\n<p>And one may logically ask, why is Sister Yo Jong making all these public pronouncements now? Is this a heads up warning that she\u2019s about to stop in and take over because Fatty Kim da T\u2019ird is feewing poorly? And I do mean stop in, as opposed to step in.<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026.is this an implied threat of some kind, or just a ploy to get our attention? Since South Korea is an ally, with whom we have practice drills on a recurring basis, yanking our sleeve to get attention is normal\u2026.except that this is specifically aimed at the new Admin in the White House, which is led by someone who is now being criticized (gasp!) by the press for mimicking his predecessor\u2019s public pronouncements.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, but wait: that\u2019s another story altogether. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea\u2019s sister-brother is warning us before the US and South Korea have their planned meeting, &hellip; <a title=\"We&#8217;ve Been Warned\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=111495\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">We&#8217;ve Been Warned<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[430,357,214],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-111495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2020-election","category-korea","category-north-korea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=111495"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":111496,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111495\/revisions\/111496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=111495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=111495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=111495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
