North Korea Vows to Nuke U.S.

North Korea Vows Nuclear Strike Against United States

North Koreans attend a rally to support a statement given on Tuesday by a spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People’s Army vowing to cancel the 1953 cease-fire that ended the Korean War as well as boasting of the North’s ownership of “lighter and smaller nukes” and its ability to execute “surgical strikes” meant to unify the divided Korean Peninsula, at Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Thursday, March 7, 2013.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea is vowing a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the United States. The harsh rhetoric Thursday comes hours ahead of a vote by U.N. diplomats on whether to level new sanctions against Pyongyang for its recent nuclear test.

An unidentified spokesman for Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said the North will exercise its right for “pre-emptive nuclear strikes on the headquarters of the aggressors” because Washington is pushing to start a nuclear war against the North.

Such inflammatory rhetoric is common from North Korea. But it has been coming regularly in recent days. North Korea is angry over the possible sanctions and over upcoming U.S.-South Korean military drills.

Fox News has more on what’s prompted the rhetoric:

North Korea is angry over the possible sanctions and over upcoming U.S.-South Korean military drills. At a mass rally in Pyongyang on Thursday, tens of thousands of North Koreans protested the U.S.-South Korean war drills and sanctions.

The U.N. Security Council is set to impose a fourth round of sanctions against Pyongyang in a fresh attempt to rein in its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, the current council president, said the council will vote on the draft sanctions resolution Thursday morning.

The resolution was drafted by the United States and China, North Korea’s closest ally. The council’s agreement to put the resolution to a vote just 48 hours later signaled that it would almost certainly have the support of all 15 council members.

Still, as CBS News explained Thursday morning, it’s unclear if North Korea even has the capability to launch such a strike:

They’ll claim that if you don’t cooperate, why you must be a Korean sympathizer!

We are the strongest country in the world and its about time the world appreciated it. As for Egypt, Why are we giving them all of those planes guns and money? They will use them against Israel. we better get our heads out of our butts and take care of business before it is to late. The jerk in the WH hasn’t got the since God gave a grape.

The real issue is that Kim Jung Un is heartbroken because his new best friend, Dennis Rodman, left him and came back to the US. I think we need to send Rodman back and send him some more playmates too! Let’s see- We can send him Harry Belafonte to serenade him, Michael Moore to make him movies, Obama as a golfing buddy, Sean Penn to be a party pal…

  @SteelJewel – A little known fact the gun buyback program where WE pay to buy back guns, actually turns around and auctionsfoff the weapons to gun dealers who turn around and resell them, even ones used in homicides. The government has the auctions, our local gun dealer went to PA for the auction and won the lot for $7000.00. He had to bring a truck and he is reselling them at his shop. I’ve searched the state records and Googled auction for the buyback weapons, gun auctions and can’t find any kind of notice. A little bit of smoke and mirrors from Obama and the bunch. So since they aren’t melting them down just making the ninnies FEEL more safe. Guns funneled right back into the system. And this gun dealer is one of the biggest gun parts suppliers (from dismantling the crap weapons) in the nation. Our nation is a joke, all lies…so depressing. But the good news is no guns were hurt in the buyback exchange. :)

North Korea says we are provoking them and we claim they are provoking us. It isnt like our politicians and media got honest all of a sudden just because war is involved. Lets check the facts. How many countries are we at war with, sending tanks to, bombing with drones, and threatening? I lost count, but I’m sure the entire middle east knows.We seem to be the most war nation in the world right now. How about practicing non intervention for once? If we are constantly hearing from around the world , from more than one country, that the United States is making things worse, then maybe for once we should listen to them. Prolonged war is not good for our economy or our freedom. Is the point of last nights filibuster already forgotten?
” Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason

I hope no one forgets the what this movie was about.

  Ya, use the money from the unconstitutional drone hits on U.S citizens, and maybe just maybe use it to defend us from people would should actually be worried about, such us North Korea and Iran. Quit sticking our nose where it does not belong. Giving weapons to our enemies our future enemies, what happened last time we armed somone to defend themselves, when we should give a **** less what happens to them..they flew planes into our towers.THEN they used the weapons WE gave them to KILL our soldiers. I am so mad, I’m sure Obama will just give them F-16s,Tanks,and Guns( the guns they take from us probably) .Obama gave guns to the damn Cartel, and what good came from that? NONE!!! Obama is not suited to be our president he does not know what the hell he is doing!! I say impeach his ass,he has broken plenty of laws. Pull out of countries we don’t belong in, use that money to defend ourselves and arm ourselves to the TEETH.The only time the U.S should get involved in other countries is when they make threats that they can and if can’t, want to carry out, go over there, or stay here and BOMB the living piss out of them! I am more armed than the Army National Guard of Idaho and it’s pathetic!At 21 years old I know what is right! In highschool, students were like “Ya elect Obama he’s black,wooohooo!” It’s disgusting!

What a combo: North Korea and Islamic nationalism. Maybe they can’t hit us as hard as the old Soviet Union could, but the likelihood of a first strike by this combination is far greater.

With the draw down of our military in Iraq and Afghanistan, our enemies have greater resources to devote to ambitious projects like this. It is only a matter of time, and we are speeding things up.
