SEOUL — The North Korean army said Thursday it had final approval to launch "merciless" military strikes on the United States, involving the possible use of "cutting-edge" nuclear weapons.
In a statement published by the official KCNA news agency, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) said it was formally informing Washington that reckless US threats would be "smashed by... cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means".
"The merciless operation of (our) revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified," the statement said.

My sister and BIL live in Seattle. And I agree.
There are ways of delivery that no one seems to be thinking about.
Could even be Hussein — just the right kind of activity to get the President for Life thing going, a couple of nukes or an EMP to get a good “National Security Crisis” rolling in time to suspend elections for a few years.
correct assessment .. terribly sad that truth is a truth.

Agreed.
The first rule of war: Never underestimate the enemy.

April 19 was also Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City. We should be paying attention to NK and it’s leader. The warning signs are there.

maybe an East Coast Strike, I do not know but in my mind a possibility..........
That could be the kind of thing he means by "diversified strike means."
When crazy people start threatening to kill you, I suggest paying attention.
I think this is a good idea as well.
It is believed that China will attempt to gain control of some disputed islands by military means, possibly even Taiwan, as a way to show the Chinese public that its leadership is competent.
They can only do this if the United States is not involved. If North Korea can divert US military attention away from Chinese military action, then the Chinese can take these islands easily, and (as the theory goes) stabilize confidence in Chinese communist leadership.
Expect North Korea to make a minor push into South Korea, or set off a nuke on/near a minor US holding. Something that will require full American attention without causing a full-blown war.
And yes, a weak and inexperienced American CIC with communist sympathies, is part of the Chinese-NK strategy.
I don’t find any of this funny. If the man is suicidal and/or mentally ill, he just might do it. And to think we pretty much would have a flawless missile defense system in place by now if we never had a democrat majority - it makes me sick.
Actually your scenario makes more sense. Why launch from NK? Launder the operation through a 3rd pty that can’t be traced to NK. Puts Obama is same place Bush was in with Iraq. Crazy people are not necessarily suicidal
my personal favorite was the map showing their missiles going STRAIGHT through the earths core to hit the US :)
I am imagining missiles with little drill bits on the tips !
LOL
Meanwhile, Soetoro and his wookie wife are busy planning the White House sequester concert..
um.... it would be much easier to just load it on a commercial jet and fly the jet into LA.
I think you are on the right track... but fail to see the bigger prize ...
China could use this as an excuse to take all of Korea.
I thought of that, and it has always been a possibility since the Korean war.
But I think China has become too dependent on business with the United States, or the rest of the world, to risk a trade embargo because of South Korea.
However, Taiwan is a real possibility (and has been the goal of mainland China since 1950), since this administration has a one-China position.
