Mass protest of North Koreans Against Washington.
Reuters, quoting North Korean media, announced that at the same time as the 72nd anniversary of the start of the Korean War, thousands of North Koreans gathered in Pyongyang and chanted “revenge war” against the United States.
According to North Korea’s official news agency (KCNA), nearly 120,000 people participated in the rally and carried slogans (placards) such as “The entire American land is in the range of our missiles,” “Imperialist America is a destroyer of peace.”
According to this news agency, North Korea now has “the most effective weapon to punish the US imperialists” and “revenge seekers in this land are impatiently waiting for revenge against the enemy with an indomitable will.”
North and South Korea have been at war for 70 years, as the war between them in 1953-1953 (Korean War) ended in an armistice and not a peace treaty.
In recent weeks and months, the tension between the United States and South Korea has increased with North Korea, and Pyongyang has increased its missile tests in response to the provocative actions of Seoul and Washington and conducting successive drills on the borders of North Korea.
