Kim Jong Un’s war narrative

Kim Jong Un’s war narrative is authored by Ri Jong-ho for the Korean Regional Review. This should be of interest to all who work in the information environment as it helps us understand north Korean propaganda and Kim Jong Un’s intent.

Ri jong-ho says “The politics of isolation is behind sending troops to Russia.”

“Jan. 27 (UPI) — Kim Jong Un on Sunday visited the Mansudae Art Studio, North Korea’s premier state art institution under the Party’s Propaganda and Agitation Department. According to Korean Central Television’s report Monday, the purpose of this visit was to guide the sculptural work for the “Overseas Military Operations Combat Merit Memorial Hall.”

While it appears to be a routine inspection of an artistic project, beneath the surface lies a calculated political strategy to legitimize North Korea’s involvement in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.”
