North Korea Threatens U.S. With Nuclear Attack At Any Sign Of Pre-Emptive Strike
Zero Hedge ^ | 4-11-2017 | TylerDurden

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.

Investment is probably an OK word here, demoncrats use that term quite loosely.

“The next North Korean missile fired into the Sea of Japan will be downed by the American Navy....The act will be self defense”


Hopefully, followed up by a MASSIVE missile strike against ALL the launch sites recently used in the entire country....

...leaving a clear message with the fat punk like ‘you really don’t want me to come back and kick your ass again, do you?’

I think conducting foreign policy via twitter is a recipe for disaster and puts things out there on the record that may have to be back-tracked and/or rescinded at a later date.

President Trump is now on the record saying either China does something to reign in North Korea or the US will. What options do we have to reign them in?

And so much for not telegraphing intentions.

It was insane to wait until they had them. It will only get worse.

Same with Obama/Iran nukes.

Since for such a strike, only LA, San Fransisco, Berkley, Oakland and surrounding areas would be in range.... is this really all a negative?

“First, I’m not convinced NK has developed a deliverable nuclear weapon.”

A very senior NORK defector said back in the late eighties that they had functioning nuclear weapons.

to do it all at once

I have to believe that every military site, storage facility and airfield in NK has been targeted and now sits in the cross hairs of not only our bombers but sea launched missiles.

“Having said that, I fully expect that one of our Aegis class destroyers will knock down one of their missile tests within the next 6 months.”


NOT GOOD ENOUGH, time to make the fat punk pay for forcing the US Navy to come over and kick his butt, this is payback time.....

MAKE IT HURT, .....teach Iran a lesson.

“You’re in luck” the US has deployed anti-ballistic missile interceptors ABMs at Vandenberg AFB, California.

Also Ft. Greely, Alaska.

“China is NOT giving Kim nukes!”


No, you can thank President Bush & the Washington establishment for giving NK that manufacturing capability ....

Note the difference between: Deliverable and Functioning.

And what if the NORKs put an “undeliverable” weapon on a ship and drive it under the Golden Gate Bridge, or into any of our other deep-water ports?

It is past time in dealing with this lunatic in NK. In 10 years he will have a large arsenal of nuke. I say go ahead and take him out now. However they do it it needs to be swift. Enough talk.

I already addressed that:

Does NK have any NK flagged vessels we allow to dock?

Do other nations allow NK to load their cargo on ships bound for US?
