The armoured trains used by Pyongyang are a way to safeguard the Supreme Leader.
Unless one can find a way to off him through derailing it…

Eh, derailments are eminently survivable. You'd need to blow it up to guarantee success.

If FF 8 taught me anything, you would need to board the train from another, and then hack at him with swords. (And hope that he is not a body double),

If FFVI taught me anything, if you can suplex a train, you can derail one.
Burning love!
NK News mentions that Russian aid to North Korea include "drones, military uniforms and bulletproof vests". Likely to violate UNSC resolutions on banning military-grade weapons.
Article showed a picture of the Geran-25 reconnaissance drone, although it's reported by Russian media that KJU got five kamikaze drones.
Shoigu showed KJU the Kh-35 “Uran” anti-ship missile system, the Kalibr universal cruise missile system, as well as the A-190 100-millimeter automatic artillery system during a visit to the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet.

"Kamikaze drone". Isn't that just a missile?
Redmess
Well, no, because a drone and a rocket are still two different things. It's more like crashing an airplane with explosives into a target than a rocket.

The munition-type drones are barely removed from missiles. The few features that set them apart is the ability to scout with them and some can be returned and launched later. Many have long loiter times allowing them to be used to search an area.
Who watches the watchmen?
Looks the KCNA got a statement regarding King. AP broke it.
Redmess
I heard South Korea had some rather strong words for NK, about ending the regime should they ever use nukes.
Is this par for the course, or some sort of escalation?
Optimism is a duty.
I believe this is the usual response, even done so by past governments whenever North Korea shows off their weapons like their ballistic missiles and their MLRS vehicles disguised as civilian trucks.
It's also meant to allay South Korean concerns about the DPRK showing off more weapons that they have in their parades and combat drills.

King is back. DPRK border guards showed him out via the land border with China. American officials have him in custody.

So he's heading to Leveanworth now. No way they don't drop the hammer after that disaster.

This'll be fun.

Was that the soldier who defected to NK?
Optimism is a duty.
Goku Black
Yeah they uh sent him back. He's junior private lol. Their wasn't anything he would know Thats worth a secret.
Maybe for the best. The last time that north Korea has us army defectors it didn't end well for them (they sent that guy back in a coma).

The guy who was comatose wasn't a defector, he was an American tourist who got locked up for the horrible crime of pocketing a propaganda poster - and whatever the North Koreans did to him in captivity put him in a coma.

Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen.
NK News has an article on other African-American soldiers who were in the Korean War, but stayed in China due to experiences of racism, which was "legalized" at the time.
The article highlighted Clarence Adams' willingness to move to China since if he did go back in POW swaps, he'll face racism back home.
Kim Kil Uk passed away a few years ago. He's a South Korean, but is suppposedly forced by North Korea to do so by threatening to kill any of their family left behind in North Korea. He's involved in kidnapping Tadaaki Hara in 1980.
NK News documents how far-right (and pro-white) groups look up to Pyongyang as inspiration for "racial purity".
...the regime that had a massive famine, has been reliant on foreign aid for its entire existence, and still has an abysmal human rights record? None of those guys would last a week in a Noth Korea style ethnostate
i sniff ground crayons and cheeto dust
But at least North Korea isn’t *shivers* woke.
Redmess
I;m guessing Norway fell out of favour.
Optimism is a duty.
Yeah. I think that's what those far-right groups see the DPRK as aside from racial purity. Funny they don't know that the Kim's historians in Pyongyang IIRC had to downplay his (itsy bitsy) Japanese heritage.

He also received a glove from a space suit.
