Li’l Kim’s new nuke warnings

Diminutive North Korean despot Kim Jong-un reemerged in public Monday for the first time in more than a month — to tout his troops’ “preparedness for war” in a fresh warning to the US and its allies.

Kim was photographed presiding over a meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party’s Central Military Commission just two days before the country’s huge armed forces parade to mark the 75th founding anniversary of the Korean People’s Army.

It was the first time he’d been seen in public in 36 days — his second-longest break — sparking renewed speculation over his health, NK News said. His longest absence was 40 days in 2014.

Kim used the meeting to announce expanded military drills just days after his nation warned it was prepared to use the “most overwhelming nuclear force” over the expansion of US military exercises in the region.

His top military brass discussed “expanding and intensifying the operation and combat drills of the KPA to cope with the prevailing situation and more strictly perfecting the preparedness for war,” the state’s official Korean Central News Agency reported Tuesday.
