North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has weighed in on the heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula, with a personal analysis of President Trump's Wednesday speech at the United Nation General Assembly.

Trump's speech, which was notable for its apocalyptic rhetoric — it vowed to "totally destroy" North Korea and its 25 million people if the United States had to defend itself and its allies — aroused greater fears of military miscalculation that could lead to catastrophe.

Kim, in a lengthy statement released by North Korean state media KCNA, used the first person to respond to Trump's own fiery statements, which is rather unusual and exceptional, says Martyn Williams, a longtime North Korea media specialist who runs the site North Korea Tech.

"This is the translation of a direct message from Kim to President Trump. I don't think I've seen anything like this before from Kim Jong Un, and it could be a first for North Korean media," Williams says.

In the message, Kim starts off bemused, saying he expected boilerplate talking points from Trump at the UN. "But," Kim says in the statement, "He made unprecedented rude nonsense one has never heard from any of his predecessors. A frightened dog barks louder."

Kim then goes on to lecture Trump, saying he should better read the room and practice prudence when making these types of international speeches, then reminds Trump that the pledge to "totally destroy" a nation state and its people would undermine the very point of the United Nations, which is to maintain global order and peace.

Welp.

A frightened dog barks louder.

The pot calling the kettle black

 

[Numb]

This is the world we live in

 

[killertofu]

I can't believe I'm living in a world where a dictator is telling the united states president what the UN stands for lol

 

[weekev]

When Kim Jong Un sounds more sane than you, it's time for some reflection.

 

[vatstep]

This is my favorite part:

And we should mention that Kim also reintroduces an old English vocabulary word into the American vernacular before he wraps up.

"I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U. S. dotard with fire," he says. Dotard, which according to Merriam-Webster, means "a person in his or her dotage — "a state or period of senile decay marked by decline of mental poise and alertness."

The term is now trending online.

The pot calling the kettle black

He ain't wrong tho

"A frightened dog barks louder" could have been Trump's campaign slogan

 

[TheCochese]

 

[frontovik]

They are both repulsive individuals.

[Draper]

Where's the part where he calls him a dotard?

Spot on, Kim

 

[Schattenjäger]

The pot calling the kettle black

Exactly

They probably thought we'd be giving them barrels of oil by now

With China actually doing something and Trumps unpredictability, they are getting backed into a corner and lashing out

 

[Wallach]

feel like @dril right about now

 

[PSqueak]

The pot calling the kettle black

He's boldly going for the "He's the POTUS, he should know better" angle, which frankly is what a lot of the west world already thinks.

 

[polyh3dron]

So it seems it is Kim Jong Un who knows the best words, because dotard is the perfect word.

 

[CrocMother]

Imagine if Kim Jong Un started using twitter

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Broken clocks.

 

[Kevtones]

Dotard is my word of the day.

 

[Azuran]

Only Trump could make Kimmy boy sound somewhat reasonable.

Jesus Christ, what did we do to end up in this fucked up timeline.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Both sides, for once, finally.

 

[Boke1879]

Exactly

They probably thought we'd be giving them barrels of oil by now

With China actually doing something and Trumps unpredictability, they are getting backed into a corner and lashing out

Lets hope it just stays with verbal insults.

 

[MIMIC]

I wish both would just go away

 

[AmayaPapaya]

This is my favorite part:

Dotard? Well okay then. It's not wrong

 

[bitbydeath]

I can't believe I'm living in a world where a dictator is telling the united states president what the UN stands for lol

And Dennis Rodman is mankinds only hope for survival.

 

[BocoDragon]

And Dennis Rodman is mankinds only hope for survival.

Hmm... He does know both of them personally.

 

[18-Volt]

Man, this is much better feud than Cena vs Reigns. Trump and Un need to get on WWE ring and say those things again.

 

[Alienous]

After all the threats from Kim Jong Un?

I wonder if deep down he's just a troll.

 

[Niks]

They are both repulsive individuals.

Should have been first post.

 

[qcf x2]

I know you guys hate to hear this, but it looks to me like Trump has this guy legitimately rattled. Some choice, non-DPRK-like quotes:

“Far from making remarks of any persuasive power that can be viewed to be helpful to defuse tension, he made unprecedented rude nonsense one has never heard from any of his predecessors.”

I just want to go back to playing the game, I make threats and you relieve sanctions and let me continue to build a nuclear arsenal.

The mentally deranged behaviour of the US president openly expressing on the UN arena the unethical will to ‘totally destroy’ a sovereign state … makes even those with normal thinking faculty think about discretion and composure,”

Shit... we aren't supposed to be the ones who feel threatened. Let me consult grandpa's Western Strategy manual.

“Now that Trump has denied the existence of and insulted me and my country in front of the eyes of the world and made the most ferocious declaration of a war in history that he would destroy [North Korea], we will consider with seriousness exercising of a corresponding, highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history.”

(This is just weird because NK has threatened/promised nuclear annihilation of the US, I'm not sure how this is more ferocious a declaration of war)

Usually with NK you would hear rhetoric of total annihilation, they will smite the cocky Yankees and reduce General Washington's farmland to ashes with their impenetrable patriotic forces, etc. Now it seems like the dog got barked back at and is whimpering a bit.

So it seems it is Kim Jong Un who knows the best words, because dotard is the perfect word.

Yeah, wish he was deposed and NK ended their nuke program, but "dotard" is pretty good.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

It's like watching two guys who don't want to fight but love to talk fake shit go back and forth again and again and again.

 

[rekameohs]

#Dotard

Almost redeems Kimmy.

Nah.

 

[Sulik2]

This is a hilariously on point speech from Kim Jong Un, even the worlds former most incompetent leader is significantly smarter then trump

I spit out my drink
Trump making KJU look good

 

[Deuce Deuce]

I can't believe I'm living in a world where a dictator is telling the united states president what the UN stands for lol

No kidding. Wow.

 

[Apathy]

These two were made for each other

 

[norm9]

Still a maniac but Un took this round with the hot fire.

 

[Blablurn]

Im sure they would be best buddies under different circumstances

 

[Loxley]

These two deserve each other. Please fuck off to a deserted island together and leave the rest of the human race alone.

He's not wrong
I can't believe Kim said something that is not wrong

 

[sibarraz]

I really hope that Dennis Rodman is moving the pieces to make this 2 became best friends.

Or maybe that could really make the end of the world

 

[Dynasty]

He's not wrong
I can't believe Kim said something that is not wrong

Yep was reading that and was thinking WTF.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Kim is loving the shit out of this. God damn it America.

Goddamn this is so true.

Also TIL what dotard means.

 

[PingPongvonLaserstein]

Trump: "Reflection, huh? Fair enough."

Poor un un is sad. Boohoo. #getfucked

maybe start by treating your people less like dogmeat, and put some of your cash into food instead of idk nuke tests

True, though are hundreds of points at which you should reflect before you get to the place Trump is at.

 

[Steeped in a Sea of Games]

"After taking office Trump has rendered the world restless through threats and blackmail against all countries in the world. He is unfit to hold the prerogative of supreme command of a country, and he is surely a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire, rather than a politician. His remarks which described the U.S. option through straightforward expression of his will have convinced me, rather than frightening or stopping me, that the path I chose is correct and that it is the one I have to follow to the last."

Jesus Christ. I can't believe how measured he sounds here. He just walked all over Trump and left the flaming wreckage behind. I never thought that in my entire life I would feel good about and completely agree with something a Kim would say.
