With the USS Carl Vinson carrier group steaming toward the Korean peninsula for what some speculate may be to launch a "decapitation" strike on the Kim Jong-Un regime, on Tuesday North Korean state media threatened the US with a nuclear attack at any sign of a U.S. pre-emptive strike, and warned it is ready for "war" as Washington tightened the screws on the nuclear-armed state.

North Korea's official Rodong Sinmun newspaper said the country was prepared to respond to any aggression by the United States. "Our revolutionary strong army is keenly watching every move by enemy elements with our nuclear sight focused on the U.S. invasionary bases not only in South Korea and the Pacific operation theatre but also in the U.S. mainland," it said.
The North's foreign ministry, in a statement carried by its KCNA news agency, said the U.S. navy strike group's approach showed America's "reckless moves for invading had reached a serious phase".
"We never beg for peace but we will take the toughest counteraction against the provocateurs in order to defend ourselves by powerful force of arms and keep to the road chosen by ourselves," an unidentified ministry spokesman said.
Tensions escalated sharply over the past week on the Korean peninsula with talk of imminent military action by the United States gaining traction following its strikes last week against Syria and amid concerns the reclusive North may soon conduct a sixth nuclear test.

I think his subs have to surface for air in order to get here. I doubt they would get here undetected. The nukes they have are too big, and will not fit on their missiles. They are a regional, not global power.
God help us all.
“Let’s roll!”
I’m say its naive to think China would give Kim a nuke.
About the same degree of support the nazi’s had 75 years ago when they destroyed a bunch of shipping 5 miles from my back door near the St John’s River in North Florida. Those ships had an operational range of over 15K miles.
We are not dealing with rational people here. They are apt to do suicide runs as much as the raggies.
No. their missiles dont carry the payload of their nukes.
What is North Korea living on? Is China giving them that much money? They certainly don’t produce enough to support a large military on their own unless I am totally missing something.
An extended electromagnetic pulse over N Korea would shut them down for good. It is my fervent hope that the U.S. has harnessed and militarized this phenomenon.
Not a big fan of this tweet in regards to a potential military strike on a nuke armed country with a crazy mans finger on the button.
>>Good thing Truman canned MacArthur
Imagine wanting to win a war<<
Thanks for reminding us. How many unfortunate souls have died because MacArthur wasn’t heeded?
>>IMO such not-quite-together trials serve China’s purposes perfectly as a proxy threat<<
Huh????
“Not a big fan of this tweet in regards to a potential military strike on a nuke armed country with a crazy mans finger on the button.”
Unprecedented to tweet in this manner, but Trump is reasserting the US as THE world power, and sending a clear message that recess if over. Obama the school marm is no longer bending us over for the rest of the world.
Mixed with centuries of inbreeding.
“who’s used them on Asians”
As opposed to losing 500,000 or more American lives to stop a nation of fanatics that make today’s islamo terrorists look like child’s play.
Don’t forget, Russia was already on the way to a nuke...it’s not like we would be the only ones to have it.
The ugly fat man - his days are numbered.
Never happen. The Chinese, South Koreans and Japanese would all go ballistic. (pardon the pun) All that fallout would head for them, and likely Russia too. The only way we can release Nukes there is if they do it first. And they won’t. Unless Fat boy really is insane.
Napa Valley. That’s all.
I’m not criticizing the decision. I’m pointing out the absurdity of Premier Fatty-Boy thinking he’s the king of the nuclear hill.
My sense is that China would be fine with Kim gone and nukes gone so long as N. Korea stays in China’s orbit.
Even though the GLOBALIST military-industrial-complex continues to press for an extended war with Russia over Syria,.....It looks like our NATIONALIST President is wisely choosing to pick his targets....
....Taking out that fat punk North Korean dictator before he becomes fully armed with nuclear missile technology is a must.
How many ineffective United Nations Resolutions have been ignored by Fat Boy? Time somebody does something!
