I’ve resisted reporting on every little detail about N. Korea, but they keep upping the rhetoric threatening both S. Korea and the US. Honestly, I almost wish they’d go ahead start a war so S. Korea (aided by US) could decimate the N. Korean regime and free those imprisoned people in N. Korea who live under very harsh and oppressive conditions.
I know, I’m just a war-mongering neocon.
REU: NORTH KOREA ‘FORMALLY INFORMS’ U.S. THAT IT HAS ‘RATIFIED’
STRIKE AGAINST U.S., POSSIBLY INVOLVING ‘DIVERSIFIED NUCLEAR
STRIKE’— Michael van Poppel (@mpoppel) April 3, 2013
AFP – The North Korean army said Thursday it had final approval to launch “merciless” military strikes on the United States, involving the possible use of “cutting-edge” nuclear weapons.
In a statement published by the official KCNA news agency, the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army (KPA) said it was formally informing Washington that reckless US threats would be “smashed by… cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means”.
“The merciless operation of (our) revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified,” the statement said.
“The US had better ponder over the prevailing grave situation,” it added.
North Korea had threatened a “pre-emptive” nuclear strike against the United States a month ago, and last week the supreme army command ordered its strategic rocket units to combat status for strikes on the US mainland and US bases in Guam and Hawaii.
“The moment of explosion is approaching fast,” Thursday’s statement said, adding that a war could break out on the Korean peninsula “today or tomorrow”.
“In view of this situation, the KPA General Staff in charge of all operations will take powerful practical military counteractions in succession,” it said.
