North Korea puts army on alert, warns U.S. of 'horrible disaster' 7:42pm EDT

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Tuesday its military would be put on high alert and be ready to launch operations, stepping up tension after weeks of rhetoric directed against the United States and South Korea, who it accuses of instigating hostility.

Reclusive North Korea has often issued threats to attack the South and the United States but has rarely turned them into action. Such hostile rhetoric is widely seen as a means to perpetuate its domestic and international political agenda.

In the latest outburst, a spokesman for the North's military warned the United States of "disastrous consequences" for moving a group of ships, including an aircraft carrier, into a South Korean port.

"In this connection, the units of all services and army corps level of the KPA received an emergency order from its supreme command to reexamine the operation plans already ratified by it and keep themselves fully ready to promptly launch operations any time," the spokesman said, referring to the Korean People's Army (KPA).

"The U.S. will be wholly accountable for the unexpected horrible disaster to be met by its imperialist aggression forces' nuclear strike means," the spokesman said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.

They want one of several of the following:

1. Money

2. Food

3. Re-opening of NK/SK co-prosperity city

4. Something diplomatic and sorta complicated

When they threaten things are NORMAL. If it gets too quiet and normal then THAT is scary.

NOTHING IS NORMAL WITH NORTH KOREA —NOTHING.

Sadly the gay MO is to be a sexual preator on your fellow mate while claiming you are being stalked and hated. thus it seems our government and leaders are completely gelded to such rhetoric.

Seems we can’t and to prove the point we elected a gnat of our own.
