WASHINGTON, DC — North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is pursuing nuclear capabilities to coerce the reunification of the Korean Peninsula under his murderous communist regime, Adm. Harry Harris, the head of U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM), told lawmakers.
While discussing PACOM’s 2018 posture statement before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, the commander told lawmakers:
I do think that there is a prevailing view that KJU [Kim Jong-un] is doing the things that he’s doing to safeguard his regime. I don’t ascribe to that view. I do think that he is after reunification under a single communist system. So he’s after what his grandfather failed to do and his father failed to do, and he’s on a path to achieve what he feels is his natural place and where North Korea’s natural outcome is a unified Korean Peninsula that’s subject to KJU and the communist regime there.
…
It puts him in a position to blackmail the South and other countries in the region and us. And I think that’s the overarching reason why he’s pursuing the nuclear capabilities that he has.
In the posture statement – a comprehensive summary of the combatant command’s role, missions, accomplishments, plans, and programs submitted to Congress each year – the admiral maintained that North Korea remains the “most immediate threat” against the United States stemming from the Asia-Pacific region.
