“This isn’t just a warning. “This is a full explanation of our reaction to South Korea’s potentially reckless military action,” Kim stated, adding that the South should avoid this fate by abandoning any “fantastic daydream.” “the possibility of launching a preemptive strike on a nuclear-armed state.
