  North Korea sanctions: The many attempts to punish Pyongyang
  North Korea regards this as having been a good year judging by the bombastic tone of its annual report, published by state-run Korean Central News Agency on Saturday. The article, headlined ‘No Force Can Prevail over Independence and Justice,’ hails this year’s ballistic and nuclear missile tests, including the tests of Pukguksong-2 intermediate-range ballistic missile and test-firing of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15, which are “capable of striking the heart of the U.S.”
  
  More may come next year if Washington keeps holding war games in the region, Pyongyang warned. North Korea promised to bolster “the capabilities for self-defense and preemptive attack with the nuclear force as the pivot as long as the U.S. and its vassal forces persist in nuclear threat and blackmail and war drills under the mask of annual ones at the doorstep of the DPRK.”
  
  North Korea’s moves this year were met with new rounds of UN Security Council sanctions, including sanctions targeting its key revenue sources – coal, iron, and textile exports. Washington also introduced several rounds of unilateral punitive measures against the communist state, triggering a harsh reaction from North Korea, calling the measures“criminal conduct.”

  American provocateur: Why North Korea is going ballistic over missiles
  The 2017 wrap up also mentions the war of words between the US and North Korean leaders, which has attracted much media attention. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened North Korea with military action (apart from the numerous drills with its regional allies near the Korean Peninsula), using phrases such as “fire and fury” among other belligerent words. Pyongyang subsequently threatened to strike US military bases in Guam and claimed that its rockets can reach anywhere within the entire US mainland. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Trump continued to exchange insults, with Trump calling Kim “little rocket man,” and Kim firing back, calling Trump a “dotard.”
  
  The war of words has been a source of concern among world powers, including China and Russia. Both countries have called for restraint and came up with a ‘double freeze’ solution, involving the simultaneous end to US drills in the region and North Korea’s missile and nuclear tests.
  
  Washington has ignored these calls, maintaining its right to hold military exercises with its allies. After sayingthat North Korea is not a “capable threat against us right now,” Defense Secretary James Mattis went further on Friday, saying that he is providing “military options right now,” and that diplomatic efforts are still ongoing. At the same time, Mattis said that the annual drills with South Korea, which can overlap due to the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Pyeongchang in February and March, are not to be paused “because of a diplomatic issue or something.” Seoul earlier mulled rescheduling the exercises, and Mattis stressed that the issue is subject to approval by both countries.

Seriously, I had a strange nightmare the X'mas night of fatty Kim, woke up dash to toilet to pee, or would had piss in my pajamas KNN!

I dream that I was watching TV, and an advertisement commercial came out with Kim Jong Un on screen, and he looked slimmed by about 15Kg.

At beginning it sounded 99% like a low fat milk commercial advertisement, that Kim spoke in Korean accent English, and screen showing North Korean dairy farms, and says healthy clean farm good milk cows, and low fat milk... with Slimmed Kim's sweet smile, but than he branded it DIET NUKE! I thought KNN Kim's Korean accent so bad he should be saying DIET MILK WAF sounded like DIET NUKE?

As he appeared on the screen holding up a packaged milk full of Korean words, in left hand raising up near his ear level, smiling, suddenly like Avatar Special Effects or Camera Tricks the 1000ml packet of milk changed into a model of Hwasong ICBM! and the background of diary farm changed into rising fireball and mushroom cloud and he laugh very loud.

KNN! I almost pee in pajamas and run out of my bed to toilet!

DIET NUKE! WAF!

Secret Sauce? Kim Jong Un applies science to kimchi-making

PYONGYANG, North Korea — Kim Jong Un wants to turn the art of kimchi-making into a science. And the North Korean leader is putting his money where his mouth is.

On the outskirts of Pyongyang, surrounded by snow-covered farms and greenhouses, stands one of Kim’s latest pet projects, the Ryugyong Kimchi Factory, which produces 4,200 tons of the iconic Korean pickled vegetable dish a year. The shiny new facility replaces an older factory and opened in June last year after getting Kim’s final seal of approval, according to manager Paek Mi Hye.

The factory is intended to showcase Kim’s efforts to boost North Korea’s domestic economy and produce more, and better, consumer products. His strategy, known as “byungjin,” aims to simultaneously develop the national economy and North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

North Korea’s repeated underground nuclear tests and launches of long-range missiles that could conceivably reach the U.S. mainland have brought more sanctions down on the North than ever before. But outside experts believe the country — while still struggling in many areas — is showing signs of modest economic growth and improved agricultural production. It could be just a year or two away from having an operational, nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile.

Applied science, according to the North’s policymakers, is absolutely essential on all fronts.

Kim has transformed the Pyongyang skyline with high-rise apartments to house his prized rocket scientists and nuclear engineers, and Paek repeatedly stressed while giving a tour of the facility to The Associated Press how even an ancient delicacy like kimchi can benefit from scientific innovation.

Paek, who accompanied Kim on his “on-the-spot guidance” visits, said the factory has 150 workers but is for the most part automated.

She said the primary objective of the factory is to operate in a “scientific manner at every stage.” In kimchi-making, that means inspections all along the production line to ensure quality and hygiene. The factory boasts of a one-of-a-kind “kimchi analyzer” to maintain the proper levels of saltiness and lactic acid — its signature ingredient.

Koreans North and South have been making kimchi for generations, often passing family recipes down from mother to daughter or mother-in-law to daughter-in-law.

In 2015, UNESCO added kimchi to its “intangible cultural heritage of humanity” list, noting that the traditional sharing of know-how and materials to prepare large quantities of kimchi for the winter months “boosts cooperation among families, villages and communities, contributing to social cohesion.”

Paek acknowledged that some people might resist giving up the cherished tradition of communal kimchi-making. “But they also recognize the quality and reliability of our factory-made product,” she said.

The factory produces eight kimchi products, from the very spicy staple “tong kimchi,” which has a red tint and is made of whole cabbages, to a milder variety designed for children. Its kimchi products are distributed to restaurants and grocery stores around Pyongyang.

“This is the model,” Paek said. “Other factories like ours are being planned in every province.”

North Korea received oil from Russia in violation of UN sanctions: report

In an apparent violation of a U.N. Security Council resolution, Russian ships have allegedly transferred oil products to North Korean vessels out at sea on several occasions, according to a published report.

The Security Council resolution bars the Hermit Kingdom from importing natural gas and capped its crude oil imports in September, Reuters reported, citing two senior Western European security sources.

The news follows President Donald Trump's criticism of China this week regarding a South Korean report that Chinese ships have illegally supplied oil to North Korean ships at sea dozens of times since October. China denied the reports Friday.

On Saturday, the Russian Foreign Ministry denied the report and vowed the country has "fully and strictly observed the sanctions regime." The ministry noted that resolutions by the U.N. Security Council have imposed limits on North Korea's refined oil imports but have not banned it all together.

According to the report, Russian ships conducted ship-to-ship transfers at least three times during October and November. In September, Reuters reported a number of North Korean ships fueled up directly from Russia and sailed the product back to their country by lying about where the cargo would be delivered.

“Russian vessels have made ship-to-ship transfers of petrochemicals to North Korean vessels on several occasions this year in breach of sanctions,” the first security source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.

The second source, who also confirmed the illicit activity, told Reuters, “there is no evidence that this is backed by the Russian state.”

Both sources referred to naval intelligence and satellite imagery to back up their claims of Russian ships aiding in North Korea’s efforts to secure oil and fuel despite an international crackdown to cut off Pyongyang in hopes of curbing its nuclear missile program.

“The vessels are smuggling Russian fuel from Russian Far Eastern ports to North Korea,” the first security source told Reuters on the condition of anonymity.

Reuters was unable to independently confirm the reports.

Last week the U.N. Security Council passed even stricter sanctions on North Korea, banning roughly 90 percent of oil and refined petroleum imports in response to Kim Jong Un’s latest missile test Nov. 29, the Wall Street Journal reported.
