Many Youth and Students in DPRK Volunteer to Join or Rejoin KPA

Pyongyang, October 16 (KCNA) -- The whole DPRK is full of the will to annihilate the scum of the ROK who violated its inviolable sovereignty and security.

Millions of young people have turned out in the nationwide struggle to wipe out the ROK scum who committed a serious provocation of violating the sovereignty of the DPRK through a drone infiltration into its capital city to push the tense situation to the brink of war, which precipitates their self-destruction, and are now making impudent remarks like a guilty party filing the suit first.

If a war breaks out, the ROK will be wiped off the map. As it wants a war, we are willing to put an end to its existence.

The passionate young people are determined to turn out in a sacred war of destroying the enemy with the arms of the revolution. Their great enthusiasm for joining the army is being displayed in all the places of the country, including worksites where a campaign for increased production is underway, construction sites, farms having a bumper harvest, and educational institutions.

According to data available, more than 1.4 million youth league officials and youth and students across the country volunteered to join or rejoin the Korean People's Army on October 14 and 15.

The young people's zeal for joining the army is an eruption of the hatred and retaliatory spirit of the younger generation who are determined to punish the scum who committed a hideous crime to ignite a war at any cost, and end the horrible evil relationship.

Youth and students across the country signed the petitions for joining or rejoining the army out of the pledge to find out the heinous confrontation maniacs and criminals to the last one and cut off their windpipes.

The commanding officers and members of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade, the young people of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex, the Taean Heavy Machine Complex, the Pyongyang Kim Jong Suk Textile Mill and many other working youth across the country volunteered to join the army with the spirit to resolutely wipe out the sworn enemy seeking to bring down their socialist system that represent their life and soul, and their dignified life and happiness.

At the universities across the country, including Kim Il Sung University, Kim Chaek University of Technology, Phyongbuk University of Technology and Sariwon Kye Ung Sang University of Agriculture, many students, including discharged officers and men, vowed to make the lunatics experience the real war and showers of fire.

The number of the angry revengers of the rising generation determined to plunge the heinous enemy into an abyss of final ruin, those who volunteered to join or rejoin the KPA, is on the increase with the passage of time. -0-

I posted my belief that this was a possible way into a war/proxy-war with China several months ago. Not sure if it was me you talked to.

It makes sense. It's either that or somehow getting the Philippines to go to war with China over the SCS. The likelihood of Taiwan being the flashpoint is massively overhyped.

I believe that the US wants a second Ukraine to pressure China. That's what this would be.

Taiwan is useless for that, it can't be supplied. ROK can be supplied and it will be militarily impossible to blockade it. A Taiwan blockade works for China because Taiwan is China, a Korea blockade would play completely differently internationally and it's too large to do anyway.

Korea can be turned into China's Ukraine. An endless war fought to the last South Korean. And it can be used to segue into the actual US/China war that they're openly planning for 2027.
