North Korea Accuses US Soldiers of Provoking Border Troops

By hyung-jin kim, associated press

SEOUL, South Korea — Apr 29, 2016, 4:13 AM ET

North Korea on Friday accused U.S. soldiers of trying to provoke its frontline troops with "disgusting" acts and encouraging South Korean soldiers to aim their guns at the North.

A North Korean military statement warned U.S. soldiers to stop what it called "hooliganism" at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom or they'll meet a "dog's death any time and any place."

"GIs hurled fully armed MPs of the South Korean puppet army into perpetrating such dangerous provocations as aiming at" the North Korean military side last week, said the statement carried by Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency.

It said U.S. troops pointed their fingers at North Korean soldiers and made strange noises and unspecified "disgusting" facial expressions.

North Korea occasionally accuses South Korean and U.S. troops of trying to provoke its border troops and vice versa. After North Korea's first nuclear bomb test in 2006, the U.S. accused North Korean troops of spitting across the border's demarcation line, making throat-slashing hand gestures and flashing their middle fingers.

Great, so now even the NORKS are demanding safe spaces and protection from microaggressions.

Guess the NK army is going to need a safe space...

I’ve been to Panmunjom...its like a time warp that takes you right back to the height of the cold war.

Anyway, we were told not to point at the Norks...as they would try to snap a photo, and make a stink over it. If anybody was ‘pointing their fingers at them’, I’d expect to see photographs.

Side note, the guards spend all day standing at their post, staring at each other. Its some of the biggest Koreans I’ve even seen, on the south side...and the Nork guards are noticeably smaller. Surely they have to figure out that decades of communism and famine has been harmful to themselves.

"dog's death any time and any place."

So does this mean that the NORKS are going to eat them?

“It said U.S. troops pointed their fingers at North Korean soldiers and made strange noises and unspecified “disgusting” facial expressions.”

Did they stick out their tongues at you and yell “I fart in your general direction”?

The next time I’m at the 38th parallel, I’m going to fart in little Kim’s direction.

Heck, that may start a war...

The danger is that they know the window of opportunity closes with Øbama’s exit.
