North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has replaced the country's top general and emphasized heightened preparations for potential conflict, an increase in weapons production, and the expansion of military exercises, as reported by state media KCNA - https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/north-koreans-kim-calls-better-war-preparations-kcna-2023-08-09/

The changes were announced during a meeting of the Central Military Commission aimed at formulating deterrent measures against unnamed adversaries.

Chief of the General Staff Pak Su Il was removed from his position after seven months and succeeded by General Ri Yong Gil, who had previously held roles as defense minister and top commander of conventional troops.

Kim also outlined goals for expanding weapons production capacity and urged military drills with advanced equipment.

Amidst ongoing tensions, North Korea is planning a militia parade, and the United States and South Korea have scheduled military exercises that the North perceives as a security threat.

Will he pull the trigger this time? For your sake and mine, I hope he's still bullshitting.
