SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea will respond to a pre-emptive U.S. military attack with an "annihilating strike and a nuclear war," the state-run media said Monday, heightening its antagonistic rhetoric.
The Korean Central News Agency, citing an unidentified Rodong Sinmun newspaper "analyst," accused the United States of increasing military pressure on the isolated communist state.
The North Korean threat of retaliation, which is often voiced by its state-controlled media, comes amid U.S. official reports that Pyongyang has shown signs of preparing for a test of a long-range missile.
"The army and people of the DPRK are now in full preparedness to answer a pre-emptive attack with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear war with a mighty nuclear deterrent," the report said. DPRK stands for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The report accused Washington of escalating military pressure on the country with war exercises, a massive arms buildup and aerial espionage by basing new spy planes in South Korea.
North Korea routinely accuses the U.S. of aerial espionage, issuing a tally of such flights at the end of every month. The U.S. military doesn't comment, although it acknowledges monitoring North Korean military activity.
Pretty hard to conduct a nuclear war when one's molecules are dancing around in the upper atmosphere.
Snort.
They fueled that missle two or three weeks ago? Assuming a liquid fuel, is it still viable? And if it comes to a nuclear blast - they'll target what? Japan, Australia, maybe S. Korea? It will be a quick war, possibly an hour long, if they do that. The surviving North Koreans will be receiving relief supplies within a day or two after their current regime returns to dust.
Another thing to thank Madaline Halfbright and Clinton for.
So much BS in one sentence. Y-a-w-n.
"The surviving North Koreans will be receiving relief supplies within a day or two after their current regime returns to dust." ........ If not dust, it will take heavy equipment months to dig them out of their bunkers, if we want to bother with it.
It took NK what, two days to fuel that rocket?
And they will fight a nuke war with the US?
Every day he delays the test, he loses more respect.
Either shite or get off the pot!
How much of a nuclear war can one wage with 3 or 4 nukes? One Trident missile outguns their whole arsenal.
Does using missile defense to shoot down a ballistic missile tested by North Korea count as a "U.S. military attack."?
Kim's merely stealing oooh-look-at-me headlines from Hugo.
In the logic of the mad, yes.

But no one is talking about why. The Cheyenne Mountain Air Station, which houses NORAD – charged with monitoring the North Korea situation – is now at "Bravo-Plus." Other air bases in Colorado, California and Florida are also on heightened alert status. There are five levels of alert: normal, Alpha (low), Bravo (medium), Charlie (high) and... |
