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.

One bullet?! NK makes threats like that and it won’t be any bullets they hear. In fact they won’t hear a thing just one bright flash....
Little Kim is playing a real life “Game of Thrones” for keepsies.
I think the ones to watch are the SOUTH Koreans on this.
They would be the first to suffer if Little Kimmy got frisky. Most of the North’s missiles are short range and can’t reach the U.S., plus we’d place anti-missile defenses just off his coast to blunt his threat.
The South has (arguably) the better military and I’m sure they have every square inch of the North marked off on a map. Plus they’ve been on the receiving end of Nork crap for generations. The U.S. would not want to cross the 38th Parallel but if the South went across first ... well ... can’t let our allies hang in the wind, can we?
And if Little Kimmy threw a nuke, just one, even the Chinese would be hard pressed to justify his continued survival.
we have peed on our responsibilities before. see Iran. While they threatened us and Israel every day we were busy in Iraq and now they have become very powerful.
When iran said they ere morally responsible to bring in the last made and initiate the end of the world and kill the great satan (us) and wipe Israel off the map, we should have partnered with israel and rained down fire and brimstone on all of their strategic sights and made the underground ones radioactive at their entrances.
Now we have the other fanatic who would make himself a God.
What do people have to do, lob a nuke into the west coast or Tel Aviv before we take them seriously. That’s a little but too late.
Time to call Fat Boy’s bluff. Fire the shot.
Really appreciate the thorough answer.
Seems like NE Asia is in much more danger than our coasts - at least from their subs.
1. They don’t have a peace treaty with us, we are technically still at war
2. They constantly fire on those they feel have encroached on them
3. It says any shot fired, even when fired in defense, I would call them on it and if they don’t back down smack them down.
Not global, just localized. 😁
“I’d go with a neutron bomb, but there isn’t a building in Nork worth saving.”
Than why use a neutron bomb.The neutron bomb was designed to kill people with minimal damage or residual radiation to property.
I fear this maniac loose cannon in NK more than any Russian.
I’ve always felt the same...
The picture of the Nork Generals or whatever they are ...
What in the hell did they do to earn all those ribbons? And what are they for?
Paging Dick Marcinko
I’ll be in South Korea in a couple weeks. Maybe I’ll be safer there than here.
I’m in California...with a big target on my back
Those of us who live in the LA area will remember your wish for a “favor”
The wife and son will be passing through SKorea (INCHEON)in three days on their way back from Saigon.
Long flights from Saigon to E’ville, IN. Especially when you travel in the cattle car section :)
I disagree with you.
The time for talk and doing things for “show” is over when a threatening and unstable adversary has crossed the red line and said or done dangerous things that are beyond the pale.
The eminent philosopher, Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez best explains this, in his own immortal words:

For many in NK a nuclear war would come as a release of their suffering.
