South Korea’s SEOUL — North Korea said Thursday that its recent missile launches mimicked “scorched earth” nuclear strikes on South Korea and that it has also been practicing occupying its rival’s territory in the case of war.

Pyongyang has already tested nuclear-capable missiles and indicated how they would be used in hypothetical conflicts with South Korea and the United States. However, according to observers, the North’s disclosure of specific war plans underlined its aggressive nuclear strategy to terrify its opponents, as it escalated its protest of the continuing South Korean-US military drills, which it sees as a huge security threat.

According to the official Korean Central News Agency, North Korea’s military fired two tactical ballistic missiles from the capital on Wednesday night to practice “scorched earth strikes” on major command centers and operational airfields in South Korea.

The North Korean military claimed that the missiles carried out their simulated hits via air bursts, implying that it validated the explosions of dummy warheads at a predetermined altitude.

North Korea claimed its missile tests were in response to the US flying long-range B-1B bombers over South Korea earlier Wednesday as part of the partners’ field drills.

South Korea’s SEOUL — North Korea said Thursday that its recent missile launches mimicked “scorched earth” nuclear strikes on South Korea.

“(The aerial drill) poses a serious threat to (North Korea) because it was conducted in accordance with the scenario for a preemptive nuclear strike against” North Korea, according to the Korean People’s Army general staff. “The KPA will never forget the reckless actions of US forces and (South Korean) military gangsters.”

The Wednesday missile launches were the most recent in the North’s onslaught of weapons testing since last year.

According to estimates from South Korea and Japan, the two short-range missiles flew 360-400 kilometers (225-250 miles) at a maximum height of 50 kilometers (30 miles) before landing in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff described the launches as “a grave provocation” that endangers international peace and breaches United Nations Security Council resolutions prohibiting North Korean ballistic missile launches. The US Indo-Pacific Command stated that the US commitment to South Korean and Japanese defense remained “ironclad.”

On Wednesday, South Korean and Japanese authorities reported their jets engaged in joint aerial exercises with US B-1B bombers. According to South Korea’s Defence Ministry, Wednesday’s B-1B deployment is the tenth flypast by US bombers over the Korean Peninsula this year.

North Korea is highly concerned with deploying US B-1B bombers capable of carrying many conventional bombs. The North describes the bombers as “nuclear strategic” even though they were converted to conventional weapons in the 1990s.

South Korea’s SEOUL — North Korea said Thursday that its recent missile launches mimicked “scorched earth” nuclear strikes on South Korea.

The United States and South Korea began their summer Ulchi Freedom Shield computer-simulated command post exercise on August 21. This year’s training, which is set to culminate later Thursday, has featured more than 30 field exercises, such as Wednesday’s combined aerial exercise with the B-1B aircraft.

North Korea describes significant US-led military exercises on and around the Korean Peninsula as preparation for an invasion. Officials in both Washington and Seoul argue that their exercises are defensive. The United States has approximately 28,000 troops stationed in South Korea.

According to KCNA, Kim visited an army base on Tuesday where his troops have been undertaking command post maneuvers in reaction to the South Korean-US military training. The drills are intended to practice procedures for “occupying the entire territory of the southern half” of the Korean Peninsula in the event of a conflict, according to the statement.

Kim emphasized the importance of “dealing a heavy blow at the enemy’s war potential and war command centre, as well as blinding their means of command communication at the initial stage of operation.” According to KNCA, Kim also specified requirements for acquiring the ability to launch “simultaneous super-intense strikes” at important enemy military objectives and other places whose destruction can bring social and economic upheaval.

According to researcher Cheong Seong-Chang of South Korea’s private Sejong Institute, the North’s study shows it has operational plans to launch full-fledged attacks on South Korea during armed hostilities between the rivals to achieve Korean unification by force. He claimed North Korea was planning nuclear and EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attacks early in the war.

South Korea’s SEOUL — North Korea said Thursday that its recent missile launches mimicked “scorched earth” nuclear strikes on South Korea.

Later Thursday, South Korea’s Unification Ministry harshly condemned North Korea for publicly declaring its intention to invade the South. It warned North Korea that if it maintains its provocations and military threats, it will face “an overwhelming response” from South Korea, the United States, and Japan.

According to the ministry, it was the first report on command post training involving the whole military since Kim took office in late 2011.

Since last year, when it passed new legislation authorizing nuclear weapons in various situations, North Korea has openly threatened to deploy its nuclear weapons first in prospective battles with South Korea and the United States.

Kim has been working hard to grow and modernize his arsenal of weaponry. Its second effort to launch a spy satellite failed last week, but a third attempt is planned for October.

Foreign experts believe Kim will eventually utilize his expanded military arsenals to push the US to make concessions when negotiation restarts.

The Canada Gun Ban Trudeau Adds 325 New Firearms

The Canada Gun Ban Adds 325 New Firearms
Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says the Canada gun ban takes effect immediately

The Canada gun ban by Trudeau and his Liberals has added three-hundred and twenty-four firearm makes and models and variants to the banned weapons list, on Thursday.

“It is no longer legal to use, sell, or import these firearms in Canada,” Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc informed reporters.

According to RCMP Deputy Commissioner Bryan Larkin, the models evaluated and included on the list are assault-style guns as defined by the government in 2020. In the past, the Liberals prohibited 1,500 models using that criterion.

Current owners will have until October 30 of next year to comply with the ban during an amnesty period. The government’s intended buy-back program will include the new models.

The Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR)’s Tracey Wilson blasted the Trudeau administration, claiming that the Liberals have not learnt anything from their eight-year effort to seize firearms from their rightful owners.

“They know they are out of time and Canadians are out of money, so this is just typical Liberal Party divide-and-conquer politics,” she added. They are aware that in less than ten months, the Conservatives will repeal everything.

They haven’t responded to law enforcement’s pleas, taken action against violent offenders who commit the same crimes repeatedly, or used an Order in Council to address the daily violence that afflicts Canada. Nothing.

Wilson also took issue with the government’s summary implementation of gun control laws through orders-in-council rather than through legislation.

Nicolas Johnson, a policy analyst and editor of thegunblog.ca, stated that he is not aware of any gun owner who expresses any desire or motivation to surrender their lawfully acquired firearms.

He told the Toronto Sun, “The Liberals have no idea how to carry out their confiscation fantasy, no money to pay for it, and no way to enforce it.” “With this most recent measure, the Liberals are coming across as more extreme, desperate, and weak.”

Even Liberal MPs opposed the Trudeau Liberals’ earlier attempts to impose universal gun control laws because they were so unpopular.

The Liberals subtly introduced two amendments to their gun control bill C-21 in 2022, which would have prohibited the lawful guns used by sport shooters and hunters on a daily basis.

Following strong resistance from hunters, sports shooters, and First Nations, the Liberals retracted those proposals. The opposition Conservatives called this a “humiliating climb-down” for the prime minister.

As of this writing, there is no list of the Canada gun ban for these 325 prohibited firearms.

Man Leaps onto Polar Bear to Defend His Wife in Northern Canada

Published

Polar bear, Canada
The unnamed man suffered serious injuries but is expected to recover

Police say a man in Canada’s far north is recovering from injuries sustained when he jumped atop a polar bear to protect his wife from mauling.

The incident occurred at Fort Severn First Nations, a small community of approximately 400 people in far northern Ontario.

The nameless man was seriously injured but is likely to recover, according to a First Nations police officer.

On Tuesday, about 05:00 local time (11:00 GMT), the couple exited their house to find their dogs, when a bear on the driveway sprang at the man’s wife. He instantly jumped onto a polar bear to defend his wife from getting mauled.

“The woman slipped to the ground as her husband leapt onto the animal to prevent its attack,” police said in a statement. “The bear then attacked the man, causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries to his arm and legs.”

A neighbour arrived with a rifle and shot the bear multiple times. It retreated into the neighbouring woods, where it perished from its injuries.

He was later was transferred to a community nursing station and treated for his injuries.

Police stated they “continued to patrol the area to ensure there were no other bears roaming the community.”

According to Alysa McCall, a scientist with Polar Bear International, polar bears rarely attack humans.

When an attack occurs, the bear is frequently hungry, young, and ill, she explained. Normally, bears avoid human towns and prefer to hunt ice seals at sea.

“If you’re attacked by a polar bear, definitely do not play dead — that is a myth, “you fight as long as you can.”

According to Wikipedia, Fort Severn First Nation is a Western Swampy Cree First Nation band government located on the Severn River near Hudson Bay. It is the most northern community in Ontario, Canada. In 2001, the population was 401, consisting of 90 families in an area of 40 square kilometres.

Macron of France Will Complete His Tenure And Choose a New Prime Minister Shortly.

Published

Macron

(VOR News) – The current French President, Emmanuel Macron, reportedly promised on Thursday to stay in office until the end of his term, which runs until 2027.

Moreover, he said he would appoint a new Prime Minister within a few days after Michel Barnier left, which explained his dismissal from the Prime Ministerial post.

Macron emerged the day following the unheard-of National Assembly vote of no confidence. The vote of no confidence left France without a functioning government. Instead of owning the flaws in his own government, he blamed his opponent on the extreme right for the downfall of Barnier’s rule.

They arrived at a decision. He described using the phrase “not to do but to undo”. “They preferred anarchy.”

According to the US President, the far-right and far-left have teamed to produce what he calls “an anti-Republican front.”

Furthermore, Macron’s carelessness will not be blamed on him.

Although he did not say anything about the name of the next prime minister in his statement, he said that he would choose a new prime minister during the next days.

The Elysee presidential palace’s communiqué said that President Macron “acknowledged” the resignation Barnier had turned in earlier that day. According to the statement, until a new government is chosen, Barnier and other ministers will keep responsibility for current affairs. The sentence included this phrase.

Following just three months in office, Barnier was obliged to resign as prime minister, hence shortening his tenure in modern France. Support for the no-confidence resolution—which the National Assembly finally approved—was shown in 331 votes overall.

In a parliament without a majority, Macron must choose a successor able of running a minority government. This is a difficult project. President of the National Assembly Yael Braun-Pivet, a Macron party member, advised him to act quickly.

Braun-Pivet made a statement on Thursday that France Inter radio carried. “I advise that he promptly pick a new prime minister,” she said. Regarding political issues, uncertainty had no place. Essential is a leader who can successfully interact with all the stakeholders and help to approve a new budget item.

Still, the approach could be difficult. French media claims that a shortlist of moderate candidates with ability to appeal to both political extremes has been produced. Still, Macron’s government has not confirmed any of the recommended public post choices.

Concerns have been voiced regarding possible delays this time resulting from Macron’s extended two-month term to name a replacement to Barnier following the June legislative elections’s loss by his party.

Following the no-confidence vote, Macron has been called on to resign.

Leading far-left France Unbowed party member Manuel Bompard said on BFM TV Wednesday night, “I contend that stability necessitates the resignation of the President of the Republic.” Bompard was addressing the matter involving the Republic’s President. Bompard was considering the matter at that moment.

The head of the National Rally, the party with the most Assembly seats, Marine Le Pen said that “the pressure on the President of the Republic will intensify” but did not demand Macron’s resignation. This happens even though she refrained from advocating Macron’s leaving.

On the other hand, Macron has rejected these demands and declared that under his government there would not be any further legislative elections. The French constitution states that should their administration be ousted by the National Assembly or should the National Assembly decide to dissolve the government, a president is not obliged to retire.

“I will execute that mandate; I was elected to serve until 2027,” he said to reporters earlier this week. “I will totally meet that mandate.” “I will fulfil that mandate.”

The constitution says that fresh legislative elections cannot take place before July. For those assigned policy formulation, this might cause an impasse.

Political unrest has heightened worries about France’s economy, especially with relation to the national debt, which, should significant action not be taken, may equal seven percent of GDP.

The collapse of Barnier’s government could cause a rise in French interest rates, therefore aggravating the debt load of the country. This is grounded in analysts’ evaluations.
