N Korea threatens attacks on USA after being blamed for Sony hacking

North Korea has warned of strikes against key sites in the US in retaliation for Washington blaming Pyongyang for the recent Sony cyber attack, saying any US punishment over the incident would lead to damage thousands of times greater.
Late on Sunday North Koreas National Defence Commission said President Barack Obama was recklessly spreading rumours that Pyongyang was behind the cyber attack. Sony has pulled The Interview , a satirical film depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after the hacking and subsequent threats of terrorist attacks against cinemas that screened it.
The NDC said its 1.2m-member army was ready to use all types of warfare against the US. Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon, and the whole US mainland, the cesspool of terrorism, by far surpassing the symmetric counteraction declared by Obama, said the NDC statement, carried by official news agency KCNA.
Pyongyang has routinely made similar threats against South Korea and the US during times of confrontation, but the latest hostile rhetoric against Washington underlines Pyongyangs anger over the movie.
The threat comes as US officials are scrambling to come up with ways to retaliate after the FBI announced on Friday that it believed North Korea was behind the cyber attack against Sony, and warned that it would impose costs and consequences on those responsible.

You know, after a while you kinda see a pattern from this piss ant: Rattle a saber or two and the US will throw a couple of billion his way to keep his tin horn regime in power. Enough is enough...

I’m pretty sure Adolf Hitler had a similar reaction to Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator”... but Hollywood didn’t go into paroxsyms of fear about offending him. They released it anyway.
But then again... that was a better time, with better people in Hollywood.
