SEOUL (AFP) - North Korea threatened "all-out war" in response to exercises by South Korean and US troops due to start Monday and told Seoul to stop cross-border propaganda, upping the rhetoric against its arch rivals.
Pyongyang would respond to the upcoming drill, with "unprecedented all-out counteraction" that would turn the South's capital Seoul into a "sea of flames", the Korean Central News Agency said Sunday.
"The army and people of the DPRK will return bolstered nuclear deterrent of our own style for the continued nuclear threat... and our own missile striking action for their vicious attempt to eliminate our missiles," KCNA said.

We have become a paper tiger again. The PAX America is over.
Obama will capitulate.
The last time they threatened this, courageous Korean soldiers died in defense of innocent civilians slaughtered by a cowardly attack.
I hope South Korea is preparing for decisive preemptive actions.
They’re threatening war because they want to cull their population. Too many to feed.
That might not work. North Korea is such a crappy country that even some of the elite are struggling to find food. The military officers would just gobble the package up on the spot, including the plastic casing...
Wookie would teach the North Koreans about the importance of eating 3 meals a day to stay healthy...
If any foreign enemy ever attacked us during the reign of Obama, he would immediately call for ‘peace talks’ and all the politicians would blame ‘cultural insensitivity’.
Perhaps they are waiting for our government to finish pansifying our military.
kim Jong Il - Is ranting I am not getting enough attention the world is to focused on the Middle East. My people (soldiers) need more food. It has been a tough winter here in North Korea, and I am out of fuel. I need more money to support my deluded idealogy. So I threaten war and Obama will give me more and more.
Again? Is it that time of the week again?
Lost WWII to the Soviet Union, what are talking about. The Soviet Union was an ally, yes there were some Generals (george S. Patton) whom thought while the US was there to just finish the soviet Union right there but Eisenhower said no.
basically the US won the Battle of the Cold War, but lost the COLD WAR to the Soviet Union with appeasement and giving into to Periostoika. More Soviet BS has lead America diplomacy to be stupidly achieved. Odumbo signed a treaty with the current Soviets for whatever they desired to see the US give up and they have to give up nothing..
If they do not take Seoul in 36 hours they are all through.
The ROK's best defense is a reprise of Gen. Tommy Ridgeway's "meat grinder". Plenty of lead for the charging NORKS.
But we didn’t lose WWII to Soviets. Rather Socialist countries National Socialist Germany and their ally against Poland, Soviet Socialist USSR each lost, as Western Europe was rescued by US again.
Wait a sec, we have Obama in office.
Can you guys in North Korea hold off until we have a Conservative in office?
Not so sure I can agree with your assesssment. Less than two weeks ago over 350 Muslim Leaders and Clerics, along with “special” guests, met to further their agenda for uniting all Muslim nations into one block....which includes a united effort between Shia and Sunni regardless of their differences....with the ultimate target of bringing Saudi Arabia on board by what ever means is necessary.
Europe has no oil and are completley dependant on ME and Russia oil...along with that of N.Africa. The pipeline between Europe and Russia certainly would give Russia the upper hand to threaten a shutdown were international events esculate....but Russia and Iran have their sites on SAudi Oil, always have...Syria and China fits in that..China will not implode as many think possible...though there may be some rough spots. They are already purchasing lands with resources in other countries to insure this won’t happen.
As for our forces, we can only attempt a gradual withdrawal from the East...unless there is another front to send them to. Bringing them home at once will mean all these soldiers out of work..and the result of that on our monetary system let alone the civil unrest possible would further position us to fall faster and harder than we are currently.
Phasing out all our troops along the DMZ and deploying them along our own southern border would improve our own national security 100%.
Obviously we must agree to disagree. But since America lacks the will to enact my vision, we’ll never know who is right.
America’s best day are past us.
You can’t take the North Koreans seriously on the all out war threat unless they throw in the term Lake of Fire with it.
Good Point!!
Yes and maybe with our military back home they could do an “Egypt”followed by fair and free elections to get our country back on track. Sadly the way it is now with voting rigged and with a majority of the sheeple brainwashed or living off government handouts I'm not sure the conventional way will work in time.
So in other words, “blah blah blah blah blah”
