U.S. urged not to run amuck
2003-01-14
If the U.S. evades its responsibility and recklessly challenges the DPRK, the army and people of the DPRK will never miss the chance but certainly make them pay for the blood and turn the stronghold of the enemy into a sea of fire. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary.
"Sea of fire" seems a pretty definite threat...
It goes on:
The U.S. reacted to the DPRK's sincere proposal for concluding a non-aggression treaty between the DPRK and the U.S. and its patient efforts for negotiations with the threat of "blockade" and "military punishment". It even instigated the international atomic energy agency to build up a public opinion over the "nuclear program" and internationalized the moves of stifling the DPRK.
How sweet. They noticed...
The DPRK can not sit with folded arms under the prevailing situation where the supreme interests of the state are being seriously encroached upon by the U.S. It is the unshakable revolutionary principle and stand of the DPRK to respond to a hard-line with a super hard-line.
And to a soft-line with a super hard-line...
It has nothing to be afraid of even under the worst situation.
What have they got to lose? They've got nothing now but ammunition...
It is the fighting experience and maxim gained by the DPRK in its more than half-a-century-long confrontation with the U.S. that if all the army and the people unite to fight in a do-or-die spirit against the arrogant U.S. imperialists, they would certainly emerge victorious. The Yankees are well advised to stop running amuck, facing up to the essence of the situation and its consequences.
This is worded in English, but it still makes no sense. Would translating it back into Korean make it coherent?

#5  Just to be sure, we better have the text translated again by an independent party. That way we determine if it is a translation problem or the real McCoy.

#3  Wasn't there an AMOK time in the first Star Trek? Perhpas running a little amuck is not a bad thing. We could be the craziest m-f's on the planet.

#2  The peasants must be revolting, or threatening to eat Glorious leader.

Let that kettle boil. Can you say "no delivery system"?
