NKorea warns in latest threat that it will attack specific coordinates of SKorean media groups

By Associated Press, Published: June 4

PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea’s military warned Monday that troops have aimed artillery at the specific coordinates of South Korean media groups as Pyongyang threatened a “merciless sacred war” over perceived insults.

The North Korean statement, which expresses outrage over South Korean media criticism of ongoing children’s festivals in Pyongyang, is the latest in a series of threats aimed at Seoul’s conservative government and news agencies following the December death of Kim Jong Il, the father of new leader Kim Jong Un. North Korea hasn’t yet acted on its threats of violence.

Still, Monday’s comments from the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army contained an unusually specific mention of the longitude and latitude of the locations of seven media outlets. North Korea said it had targeted those agencies and would attack if Seoul doesn’t apologize for orchestrating a “vicious smear campaign” against the festivals in the North’s capital.

In Seoul, the Unification Ministry, which handles relations with the North, called the statement a “grave provocation.”

If it comes to real attack, it would be more likely to be a personal delivery by NK agents or their subcontractors who pray five times a day.

P!

Is it just me, or does it seem that, any time NK needs some cash, it rattles its hollow saber and the US rushes in with a bunch of our cash to keep them in line. Maybe it's time to just tell them to take a hike and see what happens.

North Korea, PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

SKorean media groups

Gosh, this calls for courage. Send in all the alphabet newsgroups, in our country, to defend SKorean media groups. Fuel the planes, put our alphabet newsgroups on board. Arm them, with free pens and paper. Send maddie not-so-bright too.

In the 1960s, a NK defector reported the North had collected the remains of American military, lost during the Korean War.
Anytime they needed a food transfusion, some of these remains were suddenly “discovered” and repatriated in exchange for a bailout from the US.

Given the NK’s prowess in rocketry, those “specific coordinates” will be given with a tolerance of plus/minus 5000 km.

In the spirit of cooperation with fellow citizens of the earth, I would like to help the North Koreans in their targeting of South Korean media locations. Here are what I believe to be the coordinates...

38.9051 -77.0350

40.7698 -73.9895

40.7765 -73.9871

LOL! Sorry, I’m having a hard time being upset at them for this one!

[TigerLikesRooster]

Yep. If their missiles are coming, they should comes in dozens to do the job. N. Korea knows that. I mean, if they fire one and it lands a mile away from intended targets, it would very embarrassing, whether it managed to wreak havoc or not.

[TigerLikesRooster]

I understand why you included the first one. As for the other two, do you have something against Nassau County and Queens ?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

There a little good in everyone.

Here are two juicy NK targets we can hit. If we do, we will definitely get their attention:

Juche Tower in Pyongyang

Might there be a transcription error? I thought I provided the Norks with the coordinates to the HQs of the Washington Post, CBS and ABC News.

Ok, this is a James Bond movie coming to life, right? The one where that media mogul is trying for - what else - world dominance? In this step he is threatening to take out the competition.

[scram2]

These little pissant dictators are so tiresome.

Someone needs to call them out, bitch slap them around in public and dare them to do something about it after showing them footage of Nagasaki or Hiroshima and letting them know we have a few of these laying around we can afford to do without.

[Sherman Logan]

I must admit an occasional (resisted) desire to launch artillery at certain media groups.

[TigerLikesRooster]

OK. I got you.:-)

[jayrunner]

When will the press stop airing the rants from delusional leaders like the NK and Iranian mini-men?

[econjack]

It doesn’t surprise me.
