North Korea warns of 'merciless strike' ahead of US-South Korea drills
CNN ^ | 8/20/17 | Faith Karimi, Brad Lendon and Yuli Yang

(CNN)North Korea warned Sunday that the upcoming US-South Korea military exercises are "reckless behavior driving the situation into the uncontrollable phase of a nuclear war."

Pyongyang also declared that its army can target the United States anytime, and neither Guam, Hawaii nor the US mainland can "dodge the merciless strike."

The messages in Rodong Sinmun, the official government newspaper, come a day before the US starts the Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercises with South Korea.

Tensions between the US and North Korea have grown in recent weeks. Just last week, Pyongyang said it had finalized a plan to fire four missiles toward the US territory of Guam. State media reported that leader Kim Jong Un would assess the US' next move before giving launch orders. Kim would "watch a little more the foolish and stupid conduct of the Yankees," a North Korean statement said last week.

Pure bluster to attempt to get the US and SK to cancel their annual military exercise to save face after backing down last week.

I hate to admit it but I would like to see North Korea launch an ICBM towards the U.S. Or South Korea.

After all it’s about time for us to put The North Koreans out of our misery.

I'm beginning to feel that way too. Lets get it on and over with. There is no doubt millions will perish but what in hell can we do. Do we want to wait until he loads a dozen nukes at our mainland and no way to stop all of them? Don't worry about China, India will take care of them.

Why does South Korea need The U.S. help against North Korea?

North Korea is a hermit Kingdom compared to South Korea where they have all the tech companies!

It is like a Country in the 1800's going up against a Country in 2017

Shouldn't South Korea totally destroy North Korea without the help of the U.S.?

1.Norks launch ICBM toward USA in response to an annual exercise.

2. We donate the contents of a boomer sub in response, after shooting down their missile.

3. The left goes the rest of the way off the chain, and CW 2 starts here.

4. In several weeks, the left is eliminated from the US.

Winning....
