Speech of Kim Jong Un before the United Nations General Assembly

“Distinguished delegates, leaders of the world, and peoples watching from every corner of the Earth,

Today I stand before you not with empty rhetoric, but with a warning and a proposal. For too long, my nation has been painted as a villain, while the powerful nations wield weapons of destruction that hang over humanity like the sword of Damocles.

We hear talk of the ‘Rod of God’—an orbital strike weapon, raining devastation from the heavens with the force of divine punishment. This is no myth, no rumor. It is a threat, sharpened and aimed at my country, a weapon of terror masked as progress.

I say to those who built it: call it off. Dismantle the weapon that promises annihilation from the skies. Show the world that you do not see yourselves as gods above mankind.

In return, I declare before this Assembly: if the Rod of God is called off, I will power down the doomsday missile. The key will not turn, the launch code will not be entered. The specter of fire will recede.

This is not surrender—it is balance. This is not weakness—it is wisdom. The world cannot afford two hands hovering over two triggers, waiting for the smallest spark to ignite a chain that ends civilization itself.

I extend this bargain in the sight of all nations. Call off your sky-weapon, and I will silence my earth-weapon. Let us step back from the edge of the abyss, together.

If you seek peace, show it in action, not in speeches. If you want survival, then disarm the heavens, and I will disarm the horizon.

The future of humanity hangs not on pride, but on restraint. The choice is yours. The choice is ours.”
