North Korea has responded to recent comments from the United States regarding its intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The North Korean Ministry of Defense, through state media KCNA, stated that the United States should abandon its military threats if it has concerns about its mainland safety.
The KCNA report specifically cited comments made by the head of U.S. Northern Command regarding the capability of North Korea's ICBMs to reach the U.S. mainland. North Korea countered that it is their sovereign right to improve their self-defense power.
Furthermore, the report highlighted the United States' own actions, such as planning war exercises with South Korea and deploying a nuclear submarine to the Korean Peninsula, as examples of confrontational behavior. North Korea maintains that these actions are the true cause for concern, not their own development of ICBMs.

We need to respect North Korea's sovereignty and stop trying to impose our values on them.

The people of North Korea deserve to live in freedom, not under the tyranny of the Kim regime.

It's hypocritical for the US to criticize North Korea's weapons program while having the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

The US is hardly being aggressive by holding military exercises. North Korea is the one firing missiles over Japan.

Let's hope that dialogue and understanding can prevail over threats and aggression.

North Korea is simply responding to the US's hostile actions.

North Korea is playing the victim again. They're the ones threatening everyone with their nukes, not the US.

It's time for the international community to take action against North Korea's nuclear ambitions.

War is never the answer. We should seek a peaceful resolution to the Korean conflict.
