SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea will respond to a pre-emptive U.S. military attack with an "annihilating strike and a nuclear war," the state-run media said Monday, heightening its antagonistic rhetoric.
The Korean Central News Agency, citing an unidentified Rodong Sinmun newspaper "analyst," accused the United States of increasing military pressure on the isolated communist state.
The North Korean threat of retaliation, which is often voiced by its state-controlled media, comes amid U.S. official reports that Pyongyang has shown signs of preparing for a test of a long-range missile.
"The army and people of the DPRK are now in full preparedness to answer a pre-emptive attack with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear war with a mighty nuclear deterrent," the report said. DPRK stands for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The report accused Washington of escalating military pressure on the country with war exercises, a massive arms buildup and aerial espionage by basing new spy planes in South Korea.
North Korea routinely accuses the U.S. of aerial espionage, issuing a tally of such flights at the end of every month. The U.S. military doesn't comment, although it acknowledges monitoring North Korean military activity.
Pretty hard to conduct a nuclear war when one's molecules are dancing around in the upper atmosphere.
Snort.
They fueled that missle two or three weeks ago? Assuming a liquid fuel, is it still viable? And if it comes to a nuclear blast - they'll target what? Japan, Australia, maybe S. Korea? It will be a quick war, possibly an hour long, if they do that. The surviving North Koreans will be receiving relief supplies within a day or two after their current regime returns to dust.
Another thing to thank Madaline Halfbright and Clinton for.
So much BS in one sentence. Y-a-w-n.
"The surviving North Koreans will be receiving relief supplies within a day or two after their current regime returns to dust." ........ If not dust, it will take heavy equipment months to dig them out of their bunkers, if we want to bother with it.
It took NK what, two days to fuel that rocket?
And they will fight a nuke war with the US?
Every day he delays the test, he loses more respect.
Either shite or get off the pot!
How much of a nuclear war can one wage with 3 or 4 nukes? One Trident missile outguns their whole arsenal.
Does using missile defense to shoot down a ballistic missile tested by North Korea count as a "U.S. military attack."?
Kim's merely stealing oooh-look-at-me headlines from Hugo.
In the logic of the mad, yes.

But no one is talking about why. The Cheyenne Mountain Air Station, which houses NORAD – charged with monitoring the North Korea situation – is now at "Bravo-Plus." Other air bases in Colorado, California and Florida are also on heightened alert status. There are five levels of alert: normal, Alpha (low), Bravo (medium), Charlie (high) and... |

It has already happened with Japan and Al Qaeda... It will happen again.
The amazing things about the war with Japan - we change centuries of thinking. We totally flipped a culture. Maybe the same can happen with Al Qaeda or North Korea.
Nah! Even North Korea wouldn't hit an ally.

Honest to God, Miss mewzilla, sometimes I read this stuff ( and all the other lunacy going on in the world ) and think I've awakened into an alternate universe run by a mad god.

NK - Yes, but we will have to decimate the country, eliminating the entire leadership.
Al-Queda - No, this kind of change isn't possible, more to the point islam cannot be fundamentally changed. islam must be destroyed.

LOL. Or a bunch of folks who've been into the wacky weed, big-time...But I guess that's why they call it dope, right? :)
Doesn't North Korea's rants just remind you of that old joke about the flea climbing up the elephants leg with rape on it's mind.
That would be this universe while Satan thinks he's in charge.

Thanks for that link. I was wondering about NORAD, but have not had time to look for it.
Just an average citizen here hoping we do not have unexpected fireworks July 4th, be it in the sky, on the ground, domestic or abroad.
We can ignore such warnings. North Korea's leader knows that if even one N. Korean missile is fired in a eastern direction it will bring retaliation that would wipe North Korea completely off the face of the Earth.
Unfortunately, the wimps in our State Department can make no distinction between Communist N. Korea and Communist China.
Thanks in part to the former impeached and disbarred president Bill Clinton's exchange with Red China of super computer technology for campaign donations, Red China can make their threats good.
And after TD-2 is destroyed, what do they want us to believe will be their delivery system?
The People's Democratic Paranoid State of N Kor must be up to something bad if they expect to be attacked out of the blue.
Must be Mao-Masochists! A one way nuclear War!
I'm sure the guys with the airborne laser, the naval missle lanchers, and the SDI rockets are all doing a rock-paper-siscors to see who get's to take the missle out!
Yep. Have a couple of Boomers pop up and say howdy. I'd reckon that might just change the little gargoyles tune.......
There would be no surviving North Koreans in what used to be North Korea.

What a great quote. What a great man. I miss that guy.
bump for graphic
How much nuclear war can you wage with six bombs?
Uh...with what?
This whole sequence of events stinks like a dead mackerel. They throw a missile onto a launching pad and the world starts to spin. It hasn't actually flown anywhere yet and I doubt if it ever will. Now this stuff about nuclear war...I honestly wonder. If their nuclear programs turn out to be as productive as their rocketry, do they really have anything at all? Anything that will work? Or is the whole thing a bunch of hot air intended to instill fear and extort a few more concessions out of the West?
This sort of stuff was pretty effective before Saddam came along. Since that, acting like a lunatic and trying to convince the world that you're considering using WMD as a foreign policy initiative isn't quite as safe as it used to be. It's a pity the kooks are always the last ones to notice that the world has changed.
Former president Carter was involved in that deal to, I believe. Don't forget that dolt.
Any good dictator knows the surefire way to stay in power is to invent foreign threats so he can focus the frustrations and anger of his countrymen on something other than himself and his regime's failings.
Please dont' call them the DPRK....
