N. Korea: US has crossed red line, relations on war footing

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea's top diplomat for U.S. affairs told The Associated Press on Thursday that Washington "crossed the red line" and effectively declared war by putting leader Kim Jong Un on its list of sanctioned individuals, and said a vicious showdown could erupt if the U.S. and South Korea hold annual war games as planned next month.

Han Song Ryol, director-general of the U.S. affairs department at the North's Foreign Ministry, said in an interview that recent U.S. actions have put the situation on the Korean Peninsula on a war footing.

The United States and South Korea regularly conduct joint military exercises south of the Demilitarized Zone, and Pyongyang typically responds to them with tough talk and threats of retaliation.

Han said North Korea believes the nature of the maneuvers has become openly aggressive because they reportedly now include training designed to prepare troops for the invasion of the North's capital and "decapitation strikes" aimed at killing its top leadership.

One of these days wouldn’t it be nice if a US President responded to one of these North Korean declarations of war by acting on it and curbstomping those jerks?

Well, if you are going to do anything, N Korea, you better do it fast...

Once Trump gets in office, your chance of getting away with some sort of BS will be nil...Trump will hit whatever you do 100 times over....

Timing couldn’t be any better-Obama’s term ends. 6 months may be all they need.

Like the old Robin Williams routine:

“This is a ‘Line of Death’.....you cross it, you die!”

“Ok, you cross THIS line you die!”

“Cross THIS line you die!”

“Cross THIS line you die!”

“Alright, that’s it, you come knocking on my door, I’m not coming out...NYAAA!”

Curb stomping those jerks would get a lot of South Koreans killed. I wouldn’t be surprised if they launched a few missiles at Japan, too. The Norks are heavily armed and led by maniacs.

It would be nice if we could send a quiet note to China and Russia that says, “Dear friends: You broke it. You fix it.” Neither of them are too happy with the Norks, either. Meanwhile, if I ran South Korea, I would issue RPGs and automatic rifles to everybody in the country. The thought of a million North Korean soldiers marching fifty miles to Seoul is not good.

They can’t win, but they can kill a few million people before they stop.
