SEOUL
Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, criticised the presence of a US nuclear submarine in the South Korean port of Busan, state media KCNA said on Tuesday.

Kim called it a proof of US ambition to 

bring out its nuclear strategic assets, show off its strength and increase threats
, according to KCNA.

The USS Vermont arrived at a naval base in Busan on Monday to resupply and allow crew members to rest, Yonhap news agency said, citing South Korea’s navy.

Kim’s published remarks came after the foreign ministers of South Korea, the US and Japan held a meeting on Monday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

They expressed concerns about North Korea’s recent revelation of its uranium enrichment facilities and continued 

unlawful
 military co-operation with Russia, and agreed to work toward realising a trilateral summit within this year, South Korea’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

Never thought I would agree with a North Korean leader but she's right, that US has shown off its strength and increased threats to North Korea and China by the actual but unnecessary presence of a US nuclear submarine in the South Korean port of Busan.
Warmonger!

  1. You may blind to the fact, but North Korea is a nuclear-armed state.
    The visible presence of US nuclear submarine in South Korea
    as a deterrence is necessary to counteract North Korean nuclear blackmail.

    Otherwise .the likely alternatives are to bow to nuclear blackmail or South Korea pursues its own nuke program - which the home of Samsung and LG is perfectly capable of pursuing , but nobody thinks that is a good idea.
