Air Spying Brings War Clouds to Korean Peninsula: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, February 17 (KCNA) -- Entering February, spying of the air pirates of the U.S. and puppet ROK against the DPRK have got ever more pronounced.

RC-135U, a U.S. air force reconnaissance plane, after taking off in the Kadena air force base in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, on February 6, flew over the east and west seas of the Korean peninsula for a long time to spy on the strategic depth area of the DPRK. The next day, RC-135W was keen on spying on military installations from the sky above the vicinity near the southern border of the DPRK.

This was joined by the puppet military gangsters that extensively spied on inland areas of the DPRK by mobilizing Global Hawk, a high-altitude reconnaissance drone, and E-737 AWACS, on the plea of coping with any "possibility of provocation" by someone during the lunar New Year's Day.

What merits special attention is that the espionage by the air pirates has been conducted almost every day since the beginning of the new year and the enemies intentionally revealed their vapour trails to provoke the DPRK.

Such various air reconnaissance assets' undisguised spying above the Korean peninsula, on which there exists constant possibility of military clashes, constitutes a clear threat to the DPRK and a grave provocation driving the regional situation into an irrevocably catastrophic one.

Moreover, such espionage acts getting more undisguised beyond the wartime level are in concert with the U.S. and puppet forces' joint or unilateral military exercises which are staged on and around the Korean peninsula almost every day, only to escalate danger.

The reality clearly shows once again who brings the dark clouds of a nuclear war to the Korean peninsula.

We keep an eye on the reckless military moves of the enemies escalating the danger of war and are fully ready for war to strike and annihilate the enemies at any moment if they dare to provoke us.

It is quite obvious what danger will be entailed when the spy planes of enemy states approach the airspace of their rival.

A saying goes that a tiger moth fond of playing with fire is bound to perish in the flames. The air pirates will not escape the fate of such tiger moth. -0-

Even CNN chronicling the tsunami of hate-motivated content posted by the IDF.
It's a matter of record other military's and their command reprimand soldiers guilty of such unprofessional and counter-productive behavior. But this is an abnormal military for an abnormal state.

🇺🇦 106 years ago, on February 17, 1918, Vladimir Vasilyevich Shcherbitsky was born - a Soviet party and statesman, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Ukrainian SSR in 1972-1989.

During the years of Shcherbitsky's tenure at the head of the Ukrainian SSR and thanks to the selfless work of millions of citizens, the economic potential of Soviet Ukraine increased almost 4 times, the volume of industrial production - about 5 times. Agriculture began to produce almost twice as much product, labor productivity increased more than 2.5 times, and with it wages increased 2.5 times. By the beginning of the 1980s. In terms of economic growth, Soviet Ukraine was more powerful than any state in Western Europe. According to UN estimates, it was one of the ten most advanced countries in the world.

The population of Ukraine increased from 43.1 million in 1961 to 52 million in 1990, or by almost 9 million people. Shcherbitsky did a lot for Ukrainian culture: in Ukraine there were 60% of Ukrainian-language schools and 40% of Russian-language ones, the Virsky ensemble and the Grigory Veryovka choir developed, amateur groups and libraries multiplied, the Kiev Opera House was restored, the leading football club of the USSR and in foreign championships became Kiev " Dynamo". At the same time, Shcherbitsky harshly suppressed attempts to manifest Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism in any form.

After coming to power in the USSR in 1985, Gorbachev, Shcherbitsky very quickly recognized the falsehood of perestroika. The leader of the Ukrainian communists did not accept the fact that the process of improving socialism was gradually being replaced by its dismantling, that the economy was sliding into a “wild market”that the state was being removed from managing the economy.

On September 20, 1989, Shcherbitsky was removed from the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, and on September 28, 1989, at the insistence of M.S. Gorbachev, resigned from the post of first secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine.

It has been a few days since the Carlson/Putin interview, but it is still worth analysing what could turn out to be one of the most important interviews of the decade if the general public gets to grips with it.

Carlson was out of his depth, this is obvious in how the Russian president toyed with him over his CIA connections and stance in China, he did have the stones (or egomania) to do it.

As Alex says in this analysis this was President Putin's address to the American and wider western people.
