Kim Jong-un’s rogue state issued the stunning warning as Washington and South Korea carry out war games in the region.
Pyongyang blames the rest of the world for rising nuclear tensions as the DPRK continues its quest for nuclear missiles capable of striking the US mainland.
Last week, US President Donald Trump’s White House admitted war is now “on the table” with North Korea.
Snip...
In a statement, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said: "The Korean People’s Army will reduce the bases of aggression and provocation to ashes with its invincible Hwasong rockets tipped with nuclear warheads and reliably defend the security of the country and its people’s happiness in case the US and the South Korean puppet forces fire even a single bullet at the territory of the DPRK."
North Korea has sparked international fury by launching four missiles into the Sea of Japan, not long after the alleged assassination of Kim's brother Kim Jong-nam.
Kim Jong-un is believed have fired up an H-Bomb factory in North Korea in a bid to produce a nuclear weapon 14-times more powerful than their previous test.

The rational answer is to roll your eyes and mutter “shut up, you putz.”
Those are fair, but I was going to blame Truman and his firing of MacArthur, instead of letting him free China too.
Why do we continue to let this Hitler wanna be live?
Move to Nevada, we've been nuked hundreds of times!
Yup. My thought exactly.
And it doesn’t even have to be nuclear.
Bunker busters will do.
Hit their only main city and a few military targets and game’s over for them.
YES!!!!

Axis Evil no more.

Mini subs. And maybe an old Whiskey or Romeo class Soviet boat.
He needs to be put down for a very long nap.

When I was in high school, a loooong time ago, a bunch of us used to sing this song and it drove our history teach nutz!
The school folks forbade it being sung.
This was in the early 60’s...lots of change, eh?

Re the picture: why are they wearing heavy outdoor jackets when they are inside an office building?
(No heat?)
If they only take out San Francisco and LA they just might be doing US a favor.
I like the way you think!
Thanks! Most of those were built in the 50’s.
Interesting times
If a single shot is fired, it should be through Kim Dung Ill’s fat little head. Then there won’t be a “we” in Nork.
Don’t forget DC!
I like to call it fail safe term limits
Short answer: no. NK submarines, even the model capable of launching ballistic missiles, are diesel-electric boats. They would need a network of tenders/mother ships to help them reach launch areas in the central and eastern Pacific. That sort of activity would certainly attract the attention of the USN.
Additionally, NK subs are noisy in comparison to newer diesel-electric boats and easier to track. It’s not a stretch to think that any DPRK missile sub enroute to a launch position would be dispatched by a P-8; an ASW helo, a surface vessel or even a Los Angeles or Virginia-class attack boat.
The real problem with North Korean SLBMs is that as the technology improves, range and accuracy will improve. At some point, Pyongyang will have long-range missiles than can be fired by subs in “bastion” locations in the Yellow Sea or Sea of Japan. Operating from home waters, it is much easier to protect the boomers and for those systems to initiate a first strike.
