At the Pentagon, American and South Korean officials warn DPRK about recent nuclear threats

The U.S. and South Korea issued a joint warning to North Korea that any use of nuclear weapons would result in the end of Kim Jong Un’s regime.

U.S. Secretary of State Lloyd Austin III and his counterpart the South Korean Defense Minister Jong-Sup Lee met for the 54th Security Consultative Meeting.

On Thursday, at the Pentagon both officials held a joint press conference.

“Secretary Austin and I affirm that any nuclear attack by DPRK including the use of tactical nuclear weapons is unacceptable and result in the end of Kim Jong-un regime by the overwhelming and decisive response of the alliance,” Lee said. “This is a strong warning against the DPRK.

Just one day prior, North Korea fired an unprecedented 20 missiles in a single day on Wednesday amid joint air force exercises between the U.S. and South Korea.

Additionally, Kim’s regime has also made veiled threats about nuclear weapons in recent days.

“The United States remains fully committed to the defensive of the ROK and our extended deterrence commitment is firm, and it includes a full range of our nuclear and conventional and missile defense capabilities,” said Austin.

South Korean media reported that officials believe the North’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) failed in flight, however, they did not elaborate.

Meanwhile, North Korea’s two short-range ballistic missiles fell into the sea to its east.

The U.S. and South Korea’s joint air force exercise, dubbed ‘Operation Vigilant Storm’ was scheduled to end Friday but following North Korea’s launches—it will now extend into the weekend.

In Short:
– Hollywood’s entertainment industry faces a severe job decline, impacting many professionals like Brian Mainolfi.
– Proposed federal measures to revive local production have been insufficient, leaving the industry’s future uncertain.
Hollywood’s entertainment industry faces a significant downturn, with work evaporating and many creative professionals searching for new avenues to survive.

The industry has seen a sharp decline in jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Los Angeles County employment in motion picture production fell from 142,000 to 100,000 in two years due to reduced movie and TV productions.

Fewer projects are moving to Los Angeles because of high costs and a lack of tax incentives compared to other regions.

The impact on local businesses dependent on production workers has been severe, contributing to a broader economic challenge in the area.

Industry Decline

The absence of steady work has led some professionals to leave the industry entirely.

Many workers, including Thomas Curley, who won an Oscar for “Whiplash,” have struggled with the loss of purpose, and job scarcity remains pervasive.

Federal measures have been proposed, including a possible tax credit to stimulate local production, but efforts have thus far been insufficient.

With the continuing effects of recent strikes and a potential shift away from traditional content consumption, the outlook for Hollywood’s future remains uncertain.
