The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made insult-laden threats against South Korea on Thursday for considering unliteral sanctions on the North, calling the South's new president and his government “idiots” and “a running wild dog gnawing on a bone given by the U.S.”
Kim Yo Jong's diatribe came two days after South Korea's Foreign Ministry said that it was reviewing additional unilateral sanctions on North Korea over its recent barrage of missile tests. The ministry said it would also consider sanctions and clampdowns on North Korea's alleged cyberattacks - a new key source of funding for its weapons program - if the North conducts a major provocation like a nuclear test.
She called South Korea's new President Yoon Suk Yeol and his conservative government “idiots who continue creating the dangerous situation.” She added that South Korea “had not been our target” when Moon Jae-in - Yoon's liberal predecessor who sought reconciliation with North Korea - was in power. It could be seen as a possible attempt to help foster anti-Yoon sentiments in South Korea.
Last month, South Korea imposed its own sanctions on 15 North Korean individuals and 16 organizations suspected of involvement in illicit activities to finance North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile programs. They were Seoul's first unilateral sanctions on North Korea in five years, but experts say they were largely a symbolic step because the two Koreas have little financial dealings between them.
North Korea has been under 11 rounds of U.N. sanctions imposed over its nuclear and missile tests since 2006. But the U.N. Security Council has failed to adopt fresh sanctions on North Korea over its torrid run of banned ballistic missile launches this year because China and Russia, two of the veto-wielding members of the council, have opposed them as they are locked in confrontations with the United States.
