- For over a decade the US State Department through organizations like “Human Rights Foundation” have carried out programs distributing subversive propaganda across North Korea including through the use of balloons;

- Despite the US itself regarding errant Chinese weather balloons as national security threats, earlier in 2024 the US State Department openly voiced support for the ongoing balloon-borne propaganda campaign;

- The recent alleged use of drones represents the next step in this US-backed campaign, delivering propaganda further and more accurately to population centers across North Korea, however it also represents a genuine threat to North Korean national security and public safety and a violation of North Korean airspace;

- The US demonstrates once again that it is driving hostilities on the Korean peninsula, not underwriting peace and stability, all while using its military presence there toward its much wider regional objective of encircling and containing China;
