N. Korea lambasts Russel for his 'immediately die' comment
2016/10/15 20:37
SEOUL, Oct. 15 (Yonhap) -- North Korea on Saturday vehemently shot back at a comment made by a top U.S. official on East Asia.
In a statement from the Foreign Ministry, reported by the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) on Saturday evening, Pyongyang called Assistant U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Russel's comment "hurting the dignity" of its leader and threatened to pay it back.
Previously, Russel told U.S. defense reporters "Put yourself in Kim Jong-un's place. That is not a good place to be. Perhaps he's got an enhanced capacity to conduct a nuclear attack and then immediately die. But that can't be Plan A," according to an AP report.
On that comment, Pyongyang hit back, saying, "The U.S. hostile acts of hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK have now reached the point of self-contradiction, going far beyond the tolerance limit."
DPRK is an abbreviation for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, North Korea's official name.
"The U.S. will have to pay a high price for malignantly hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK, and Obama will come to understand the meaning of the price before he leaves the White House," it threatened.
Before Nov. 8 or after?
P!
Obama is keeping the options open. If Putin doesn’t directly take the bait and attack, Kim Jung Un could either be Putin’s surrogate or could have an excuse to hit us.
It is NK and Iran who have the satellites with the right orbit to hit us with an EMP. Both could be persuaded to attack (and given the right nuke for the job) by either Russia or China - both of whom have already prepared an alternate financial system that would survive an EMP attack (or other financial collapse causes) in the US.
Oh, what the hell. If we have to have Hillary for president, we might as well have a nuclear war, too. Interesting times, as they say.
Yup, options. Crises to exploit for plausible deniability.
As for Putin, he may prefer Syria as a theater for military clash against U.S., but Kim helps out, Putin will take it.
Yep.
I wish somebody could get the American public to understand just how many options Obama has opened up for our enemies (his allies). If people knew how very, very vulnerable he has made us - and how deliberate his actions were - scales would fall from their eyes. But they may be too demoralized to ever be able to see it, until the mushroom cloud hits ‘em in the behind...
And, no, I am not kidding.
I have several options for President Trump, all of them unprecedented.
I think all Christians on FR and elsewhere should pray fervently as the Holy Spirit guides them: and to urge all those with ears to hear to do the same.
Not surprised at Kim’s response.....the question is always if and or when he carries out those threats....
They’re NOT going Hillary’s way which is of course why this is happening even at this low level....and Obama well knows it.....
