North Korea's foreign minister said on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump had declared war on North Korea and that Pyongyang reserves the right to take countermeasures, including shooting down U.S. strategic bombers even if they are not in the country's air space. "The whole world should clearly remember it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country," Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho told reporters in New York.

"Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country."

"Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country."

His words echoed warnings from the Trump administration that all options were on the table in dealing with North Korea's nuclear and missile development and its threats to have a weapon capable of reaching the continental United States.

” including shooting down U.S. strategic bombers even if they are not in the country’s air space. “

Go ahead, just try that — S. Korea will become an island, because N. Korea will cease to exist.

Bingo.

It's a predictable path for the psychopath.

Why is this Kim dude constantly threatening suicide? He’s like the drunk in the middle street, waving a gun around and daring the cops to shoot him.
