The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered the military to launch a “powerful retaliatory strike” if provoked by the South. Mr. Kim’s statement was issued during a visit to military units on the country’s southern coast that faces a string of islands manned by South Korean marines, one day before the United States and South Korea are scheduled to begin a massive joint military exercise. Washington and Seoul say their annual war games are meant to deter North Korean aggression while Pyongyang insists that this provokes the nesscessity for its nuclear program. Kim Jong-un has been thought to embrace more collaborative and open manner than his father, but this move of his has put us to question again.
