North Korea Threatens to Nuke USA

My, oh my!  North Korea is mad about the new sanctions the world has placed on them for all of their illegal nuke testing.

So today they threatened to nuke the USA.

That would be a bummer!

Seoul (AFP) - North Korea threatened "indiscriminate" nuclear strikes against South Korea and the US mainland, as the two allies prepared to kick off large-scale joint military drills on Monday.

The threat to carry out what it described as a "pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice" was made in a statement by the North's powerful National Defence Commission, citing the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army (KPA).

It came just days after leader Kim Jong-Un ordered the country's nuclear arsenal to be placed on standby for use "at any moment," in response to tough new UN sanctions imposed over the North's fourth nuclear test in January and last month's long-range rocket launch.

Pyongyang has issued dire warnings of nuclear attack in the past, usually during periods of elevated military tensions on the divided Korean peninsula.

While the North is known to have a small stockpile of nuclear warheads, experts are divided about its ability to mount them on a working missile delivery system.

The National Defence Commission described the annual South Korea-US military exercises as "undisguised nuclear war drills" that threatened the North's national sovereignty, and vowed an all-out offensive in response to "even the slightest military action."

"The indiscriminate nuclear strike... will clearly show those keen on aggression and war, the military mettle of (North Korea)," said the statement published by the North's official KCNA news agency.

Of course we could laugh this off and realize that the leaders of North Korea are basically insane.

Some will say, "That's not even remotely possible!  They don't have the nuclear and missile technology capable of carrying out such a threat!"

I would probably agree with such a statement...but I also know that the world believed that North Korea was nowhere close to having a nuclear bomb....until they successfully tested one and surprised the world.

We can file this one under "Kingdom against Kingdom."
