North Korea does not stop missile tests
Yesterday, the 14th, North Korea conducted its third missile test of this year. This ballistic missile appears to have flown approximately 400km and landed outside Japan's EEZ. North Korea has frequently carried out provocations this year. The move is seen as retaliation for sanctions imposed by the United States on the 12th. Why doesn't North Korea stop its missile tests in the first place?
It is said that one in five people in North Korea is a military member. It is an army that protects the Kim dynasty. Kim Jong-un says the missiles are for the country's self-defense, but in reality they are nothing more than an army under a dictatorship. North Korea continues to suffer from chronic food and resource shortages. Even if the people starve to death, a large amount of national funds will be spent on missile development. It is easy to notice this contradiction when you consider how many people will be saved by the cost of missile development.
Military personnel do not engage in production activities
One in five people, or 20% of the population, are not engaged in production-related industries. If there is no war, the main jobs of military personnel are training and security. In other words, the remaining 80% will be the labor force that supports North Korea's GDP. 20% of the poor people are not engaged in production . Most of the North Korean soldiers are said to be malnourished. A North Korean soldier who escaped from Panmunjom to South Korea was shot multiple times from behind by North Korean soldiers and underwent surgery in South Korea, where a large number of parasites were discovered in his intestines. .
North Korea's economy is no longer at a level where it can run a country, and its soldiers do not have the stamina to carry out operations. This led to the development of low-cost nuclear missiles. No matter how many soldiers they feed, they no longer have the ability to conduct land battles.
POINT North Korea will not stop nuclear missile tests for these reasons. There is no longer an option for the military to protect the country by stopping nuclear missiles.

North Korea does not stop missile launches.The purpose is just to develop nuclear weapons to protect King Kim Jong Il regime.
At a press conference after 9 a.m., Matsuno said, "North Korea fired a ballistic missile on the morning of June 30 and reached a maximum height of about 2,000 kilometers, which is believed to have fallen outside Japan's EEZ= exclusive economic zone."Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said, "North Korea fired a ballistic missile eastward from the interior of North Korea around 7:52 a.m. today.We are currently investigating the details, but if the missile is a normal trajectory, it is estimated that it flew about 2,000 kilometers high, 30 minutes long, and 800 kilometers away from Sea of Japan's exclusive economic zone."
Regarding Matsuno's remarks to reporters that the launch was "high-intensity," a senior Foreign Ministry official said, "I think that's what he said about the missile.In other words, the threat is growing.North Korea is likely to resume ICBM= intercontinental ballistic missile tests or nuclear tests in the future, as it seems to be launching various missiles on a trial basis."
The other day, Matsukawa, a former defense parliamentary secretary, replied, "North Korea has a clear target point, and I think is just proceeding with the plan there."Kim Jong-un is trying to build a North that will protect the Kim Jong-un regime forever, and if other countries criticize the missile launch, he will respond with provocations.Matsukawa's statement may be closer to the truth because nothing will change after the U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution.
North Korea may just be using criticism from other countries as a diplomatic strategy.You should think that they will not stop until they reach the target point of nuclear and missile development.
North Korean military expenditure According to the World Peace Index(GPI) 2021, North Korea's military expenditure on GDP was 24.0 percent, the highest among the countries surveyed.North Korea ranked 151st out of 163 countries and regions surveyed in the GPI ranking, ranking as "very low."
It's the highest level of military spending compared to GDP, and the level of peace is very low.Thank you for your hard work.Please spend your national strength on self-destruction as in the past.

real estate fraud by Kim Jong Un In the past, there was a real estate bubble in North Korea.Real estate worth more than 20 million yen is not affordable to the people of that economic level of communist country.North Korea is always short of foreign currency, and the underground economy is the foundation of North Korea's economy.On the surface, large amounts of money are flowing into foreign products and DVDs that are considered illegal.
More than half of the high-end villas in Heungmu-dong, Peony Peak, Pyongyang, were found to be empty, and Kim Jong-un held a state-led auction.At the time of the auction, the authorities ordered that the source of the money and the background of the successful bidder be independent.Since there is no need to worry about money from the black market, elite officials from 11 agencies that procure, research, and analyze nuclear and missile development parts from abroad participated in the auction, raising the purchase price to 23 million yen. by National Leaders
Two years later, at the end of 2019, Kim Jong Un suddenly announced that he would provide new luxury apartments to executives of 11 stations, and ordinary employees would be given apartments in the middle and new apartments in Mangyeongdae would be given to section chiefs.No one can refuse to provide Kim Jong Un with an apartment.They gave up luxury villas one after another and moved to a new apartment.Of course,at the past almost half of the rooms were empty, so no one could buy them even if real estate prices continued to fall.
Kim Jong-un sold high-end villas to elite executives at auction and transferred them to poor-quality new apartments and deposited the difference into the national treasury.Real estate prices have fallen by one-tenth since 2021, with the government ordering the eradication of private transactions in state-owned housing.

A sports festival that destroyed North Korea.Mayday Stadium was built at this time.
One of the reasons why the North Korean economy has fallen into the abyss is the 13th World Youth Student Festival.North Korea is also planning to host the Olympics in Seoul, but Samaranch, the president of the IOC, visited Pyongyang and returned home saying, anyway we will consider some opportunity but I don't know when.
The World Youth Student Festival is a sports, culture and art festival held in socialist countries.This was the first time that parent and children had clashed head-on over Kim Jong Il's proposal to hold other sports festival event against the hosting of the Korean Olympic Games.As a result, the decision was made in the process of transferring power to his son, Kim Jong Il.
The May Day Stadium (now a stadium where mass games and missile exhibitions are held) and hotels have been built, attracting 12,000 people from other countries for free.Most of North Korea's GNP was invested in the event.The huge state-funded festival put the country's finances in jeopardy.Since then, North Korea's domestic distribution has stopped, causing a large number of people to starve to death.
Hamgyeongnam-do, which earned 60 to 70 percent of North Korea's foreign currency at that time.It is said that the first people to starve to death were those who worked in a mine in Hamgyeongnam-do.
North Korea's country's huge tilt was due to the huge investment in the sports festival.It was a product of ostentatiousness against Korea.
The South Korean government says it has reached a basic agreement to end the Korean War, but there is no such fact.
The South Korean side's recent insistence on an agreement in principle between the United States, China, and North Korea to end the Korean War appears to be referring to an armistice agreement. The agreement stipulates that the two countries ``guarantee a complete cessation of acts of war and all use of force in Korea until a final peace settlement is reached.''
This interpretation is that the armistice agreement means a temporary cessation of the use of force toward a peaceful resolution, and that an agreement in principle has been reached toward an end to the war.
Section 13(d) of the Armistice Agreement stipulated that North and South Korea should not bring new weapons to the Korean peninsula, other than to redeploy damaged or worn-out equipment, but the United States abolished this. In 1958, the nuclear-armed MGR-1 and M65 280mm cannon were deployed to South Korea, and a year later they were joined by the nuclear-armed MGM-1, which had China and the Soviet Union within range.
In 1975, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution supporting the replacement of the Armistice Agreement with a peace treaty and the dissolution of the United Nations Forces.
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan refused talks toward a peace treaty, citing the Korean Air Incident.
In 2009, North Korea announced that it considered the armistice agreement no longer valid.
The Armistice Agreement appears to be in a state of abandonment, and the current situation is not a truce under the Armistice Agreement, but rather a state that has not yet led to war.
In March 2018, Xi Jinping called for a ``new security framework'' with the United States that would include a peace agreement among the four countries: the United States, China, North Korea, and South Korea, but former US President Trump did not indicate his approval or disapproval.
In April 2018, U.S. President Trump welcomed South Korea's intention to convert the armistice into a peace agreement at the inter-Korean summit. Moon Jae-in and Chairman Kim Jong-un agreed to actively promote trilateral talks between the South, North Korea, and the United States, as well as four-party talks between the South, North Korea, the United States, and China, aimed at building peace.
As a matter of fact, no basic agreement has been reached by the four parties. If I had to say it, we only agreed on the direction based on the interpretation of the Armistice Agreement. An agreement comes with agreed terms.
First of all, it is necessary to agree on the conditions, but there is no such agreement.
In fact, the Armistice Agreement has become a mere shell, and the interests of the signatory countries have changed. It would be better for the US and Russia to leave North Korea as a buffer zone.
Once the two countries, North and South, conclude a peace treaty, that will be the end. I find it strange that the situation can't be done between the two countries because of the armistice agreement. Rather, it seems like they are asking for help because they are unable to have dialogue between the two Koreas.
Is there any meaning in a peace treaty in a relationship where dialogue is impossible?
When you ask Koreans this question, the majority of them are of the opinion that a peace treaty cannot be concluded without the consent of the signatories of the Armistice Agreement. Both South and North Korea are independent states, so it is possible to conclude treaties between the two countries.
