SEOUL — North Korea Saturday threatened to attack loudspeakers set up to broadcast South Korean propaganda and said it could turn Seoul "into a sea of flame" as tensions flared over the sinking of a warship.

The North's General Staff of the Korean People's Army made the threat in response to Seoul setting up the speakers at 11 locations along the tense border....

North Korean needs to lighten up and knock off all the macho man talk. Kimchi Kowboys.

In a sensible world, rhetoric like this would be seen as a declaration of war, and citizens would demand that their nation defend them by responding with force.

What's the alternative? Waiting until Seoul is literally a sea of flame and then saying, "Huh. I guess he meant it. Well, uh, let's mobilize our forces."?

The North said could rather than would. I guess in their minds this
is moderation.

Seoul a sea of flame = Pyongyang a sea of glass.

“it could turn Seoul “into a sea of flame””

then they should have dealt with you before.

And you could do worse in the future.

So deal with you now.

The two sides [Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russia] agreed to "promote and enhance friendly relations" in line with the joint declaration of July 19, 2000 and the Russia-DPRK friendship and good neighborly cooperation treaty of February 9, 2000.

Putin and Kim agreed during their talks to promote a Russian- DPRK political dialogue on the Korean issue and international affairs, and discussed many topical international problems, deputy head of the Russian presidential administration Sergei Prikhodko told reporters following the talks.

The two leaders spoke for an independent and peaceful solution to the issue of reunification of the Korean Peninsula, and against "any outside obstacles to this process" as "unacceptable."

It should bear in mind that the military retaliation of the DPRK is a merciless strike foreseeing even the turn of Seoul, the stronghold of the group of traitors, into a sea of flame.

3rd grade bully meets Napoleonic complex meets warrior cult meets international diplomacy.
