PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea promised Monday to reduce South Korea's conservative government "to ashes" in less than four minutes, in an unusually specific escalation of recent threats aimed at its southern rival.

The statement by North Korea's military, carried by state media, comes amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula. Both Koreas recently unveiled new missiles, and the North tried unsuccessfully to launch a long-range rocket earlier this month.

North Korea's military vowed in its statement to begin "special actions" soon against the government and conservative media companies that would "reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes, (or) in much shorter time, by unprecedented peculiar means and methods of our own style."

While they have a new leader, the NKs have obviously retained the same PR firm with a pechant for hilarious, convoluted bombast.

Well, it’s already been more than four minutes. Nothing happened that I am aware of.

Apparently they want us to send more food or something.

If North Korea wanted to do something REALLY different - something that would shock the world - they could up the standard of living for the slaves -— oops, I mean citizens, forced to live in that hell hole...

The way to stop NK’s idiocy is every time they speak, increase the duties on imported goods from China.

The message will get through loud and clear.

Will this ever happen ?

Not as long as most everyone in Congress views this as a “game”. Not as long as most everyone in Congress thinks that the ultimate cool ability they can have is fundraising for elections.

There are a few choice lines in this C-Span video from a few days ago... (interesting at 26:54)

Could be interesting...I think the latest Kim might be thinking a nuclear test along with some hit squads on some of aforementioned folks..I think the ROK better increase the alert status.

It’s four minutes in Kim time, so who knows when that’ll be.

Concerning N. Korea, here is my plan: Send John Bolton over there with this message, STFU or as soon as we dump this dumb ass incompetent president at our coming election, we will wipe your sorry buts off the peninsula.

Not before we stop borrowing trillions of $$$ from them (which is not going to happen under this administration)/ Until then we cannot afford to be proud.

Six microphones?? Really, are there even six news outlets in NKorea? Judging by their electrical grid at night, I’d say a Sony Walkman recoder on the lectern would have been sufficient.

'Special Actions' Soon

Haven't heard that term used since the Einsatzgruppen.

What’s really sad is that hell is probably better than North Korea. Guess those two bit ‘rulers’ over there must be proud of running the worst country in the world.

Nice ‘do. Looks like the lead in the world’s worst barbershop quartet.

While sitting in the command center in Seoul we’d watch as Nork jets would scream towards the 39th. We’d scramble our jets out of Kimpo and at the last minute the Norks would turn off.
At 600+ mph it takes a jet about no time to reach Seoul which is about 25 miles south.
Add to this maybe 20,000 rockets and who needs nukes?

It's been theorized, in some circles, a massive attack on and capture of Seoul would be the singular aim (rather that total peninsula reunification) of the North. After that, they would sue for peace and claim victory.

It would seem to be a more realistic goal for their large, but outclassed conventional forces.
