Is this how North Korea sees Americans? Gruesome propaganda pictures resurface

The Kim dynasty propaganda paintings depict alleged atrocities carried out by US soldiers during the 1950-1953 Korean War.

They have resurfaced after Donald Trump warned Kim Jong-un he would “totally destroy” his country if he continued to make clear threats and carry out provocative missile tests.

In one image, three GIs are portrayed torturing a weak North Korean woman by removing her teeth with pliers.

In another picture, US soldiers slice a man’s head with a meat cleaver as he recoils in agony. 

A particularly disturbing painting shows troops sneering whilst they hold a gun to an young girl’s head as she weeps at the sight of her dead family. 

It is believed some of the painting are displayed in Sinchon Museum of American War Atrocities in North Korea. 

The museum commemorates the deaths of more than 35,000 people in the Sinchon Massacre where North Korea claims US forces killed 35,000 civilians at the onset of the Korean War. 

Kim Jong-un visited the museum along with his sister in 2014 and reportedly described Americans as “cannibals and homicides seeking pleasure in slaughter”.

The mood in the Korean peninsula region remains extremely tense as Kim and Mr Trump continue to exchange threats and insults over Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile development program.

North Korea has accused Mr Trump of declaring war after the US President warned Kim’s regime if he persisted in nuclear threats North Korea would be “totally destroyed” in such an event.

Pyongyang conducted its sixth and largest nuclear test on September 3 and has launched dozens of missiles this year as it accelerates a program aimed at enabling it to target the US with a nuclear-tipped missile.

Neighbouring South Korea says it expects more acts of provocation from the north next month as Pyongyang celebrates the anniversary of the founding of its ruling party.

National security adviser Chung Eui-yong told President Moon Jae-in he expected North Korea activity around October 10 and 18.
