KIM Jong-un has ordered his nuclear missiles to be "combat ready" so they an be fired at any time, reports say.

According to a high-ranking source, officials in charge of North Korea's rockets have been told to be ready to execute orders "at any time."

Every year, special warnings are issued to the military and weapons operators on the annual event, NK News reports.

Military officials have declared Special Guard Week since Monday and issued a special warning order for all troops to be ready.

Yet, one source told the news outlet that the order to prepare missile fire is unusual even during the Sun Festival.

Reports say that a test of a short range ballistic missile (SLBM) is imminent.

News outlet 38 North released a satellite image of the SLBM test barge in the Sinpo Shipyard's security tank on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a report says dictator Kim could be assembling a deadly arsenal of 240 nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles which could wipe out the West.

The report by the Asan Institute for Policy Studies and the Rand Corp has warned allies must identify strategies to counter any nuclear warfare attempts by North Korea that "could cause millions of deaths".

It says despot Kim "appears to be building a nuclear weapon force capable of enabling peninsula dominance", warning "enhanced" South Korea and US defences "to sustain deterrence" should be put in place.

6 North Korea fired a series of short-range ballistic rockets into the Sea of Japan during weapons test in March - the first such tests since Joe Biden won the US election.

The White House has said North Korea has avoided engaging in talks with Washington since Biden's took office on January 20.

In recent weeks, the hermit kingdom has threatened the US with what it called “invincible power” after the US leader criticised the missile tests.

One of the country’s senior officials branded the US President a “gangster” and who has taken a “first wrong” step following his comments about the tests.

Fears over a war with North Korea continue to rise after “heightened activity” was detected this month at the country's main testing site.

Satellite images showing Kim's continued campaign of construction has led experts to believe that the secretive state is now ramping up its nuke programme.

In the images, a coal-fired steam plant can be seen in operation at the site, which is rumoured to be the location where the state’s estimated four dozen nuclear weapons are housed.

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un appears ready to launch a submarine capable of striking anywhere in the world with nuclear rockets.

Given the economic situation in North Korea, if they really have that many nukes, how likely is it they load a few on a plane, fly them to Tehran....

A few operational nukes could fetch a nice amount money for a bankrupt nation and from one with a load of new cash from the USA....

Could it be, that Kim and various terror actors in the middle east, were afraid of Trump? And that this fear helped keep them in line????

I know the liberals would never admit such a thing, as the liberal line is that America is now respected in the world with Biden, as we were with Obama, yadda yadda yadda.

We allegedly lost all respect in the world because of Trump. After all, Greta Thunberg gave Trump the evil eye.

One wonders what Kim really thinks

If I were him, I would fear China a lot more than the USA - China is on my border, China has a large ethnic Korean population also. My government is reliant on China for trade and food. China probably has many spies in my army and government.

Are his nukes designed to impress the USA/Japan - or to warn China? Or both?

Gee, ya think?

"I know the liberals would never admit such a thing, as the liberal line is that America is now respected in the world with Biden, as we were with Obama, yadda yadda yadda."

We were not respected while Obama was President, in fact he was a laughing stock...an empty suit if there ever was one.

"We allegedly lost all respect in the world because of Trump. After all, Greta Thunberg gave Trump the evil eye."

People respect what they fear if only as an act of self preservation. Trump made a conscious decision to put America first and never gave a damn if he was "liked" by other Countries. Fear and respect are opposite sides of the same coin and personally speaking I would rather be feared than liked.
