Before Winter Olympics North Korea to Host Threatening Military Parade
South Korea celebrates the upcoming Olympics with torch relays while in comparison North Korea conducts a threatening military parade:
North Korea is gearing up for an “extremely large-scale” military parade that will likely fall on Feb. 8, its army founding day and the eve of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, South Korea’s Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon said Friday.
Cho, speaking at a forum hosted by the Korea Peace Foundation in Jung District, central Seoul, confirmed local speculation that Pyongyang was preparing to show off its military even as both Koreas have been on convivial terms lately, saying there was a “high possibility” that the North would make it a “threatening” event by showcasing “nearly every troop and weapon” it has.
The parade, said Cho, is expected to be held at Mirim Airport on the outskirts of Pyongyang, as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un tries to solidify his leadership by using the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean People’s Army and the regime. [Joong Ang Ilbo via reader tip]

North Korea to Host “Threatening” Military Parade
I don’t know that I’d call it a “threatening” parade. It’s something they do like clockwork a few times a year. Kind of like calling UFG a “threatening” training exercise.
Nork military parades remind me of the neighborhood kids who dressed up as pirates last year… Lots of money spent on flashy costumes; but none of ’em ever found any treasure…
Just look at all that Chinese hardware.
It is not threatening, it is a sales pitch to south korea, saying look we can unify and put our strength together to finally attack japan.
Japan has F35s and probably could build a nuke in a few weeks tops. Be careful what you wish for Mr. Fatty.
F35s only work 50% of the time if they work at all…http://www.aviationtoday.com/2018/01/26/f-35-program-struggling-meet-dod-readiness-criteria/
Probably still better than the F4s and 16s the Commie Renegade ROKAF would have.
