North Korean state media threatened to launch a “super-mighty pre-emptive strike” that would reduce South Korea and the United states “to ashes.”
The Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper for North Korea’s ruling Worker’s Party, wrote, “In the case of our super-mighty pre-emptive strike being launched, it will completely and immediately wipe out not only U.S. imperialists’ invasion forces in South Korea and its surrounding areas but the U.S. mainland and reduce them to ashes,” according to Reuters. The rogue nation also claimed the U.S. and its allies “should not mess with us.”
The threat came as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the U.S. was exploring ways to pressure North Korea to the negotiation table over its nuclear program.
“We’re reviewing all the status of North Korea, both in terms of state sponsorship of terrorism as well as the other ways in which we can bring pressure on the regime in Pyongyang to re-engage with us,” Tillerson said on Wednesday. “But re-engage with us on a different footing than past talks have been held.”
The seretive regime also released a propaganda video over the weekend that showed a simulated nuclear missile attack destroying an unidentified American city. A cemetery and American flag appeared with flames superimposed over the footage.
Tensions continue to mount as Trump takes a harder stance against North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. Last week, the president made comments to Fox Business that he was sending an “armada” to deter Pyongyang.
“We are sending an armada, very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful, far more powerful than the aircraft carrier,” Trump told the Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo last week. “We have the best military people on Earth. And I will say this: [North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un] is doing the wrong thing.”
The U.S. Navy said on Tuesday the carrier, USS Carl Vinson, was heading toward the Korean Peninsula, but only after it passes through Australia.
Pyongyang has promised to continue building its “nuclear deterrant” to prepare for any perceived or real attacks, adding that Trump’s administration was “more vicious and more aggressive” than the administration under former President Barack Obama.
On Sunday, the country attempted to launch an intermediate-range Musudan missile, but it blew up within seconds, one official said. The test occured at an air base near the city of Wonsan North Korea’s east coast along the Sea of Japan.
Vice President Mike Pence touched down in South Korea Sunday for his 10-day tour of Asia, where he said the “era of strategic patience” with North Korea was over.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan echoed the same sentiment during his visit to London. Ryan said allowing Kim to “have that kind of power” was unacceptable.
OOOOOOOO….. I’M SHAKIN OVER THAT “SUPER-MIGHTY PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE
“… will reduce US to ashes”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Saw this one when I was looking for stuff to send this morning. One of the very few laughs I got during that search.
Rare these days, and getting rarer.
All it would take to cripple the US is one rabidly loyal North Korean agent in NY city with a vial of weaponized smallpox or other virus and orders to go to the subway at rush hour and break the vial.
South Korea’s defense ministry has said the North has bioweapons. The North has repeatedly said they will use all weapons in their inventory against us if we attack them.
It is much more likely that we will be hit with a bioweapon than a nuke by North Korea. What if there are more than one North Korean agents in the US right now? Our border has been so porous anyone can get into this country.
Imagine how much worse this attack would be than a nuke. Everything would shut down just like an emp strike. Everyone would go into isolation. No food in the grocery stores, no people maintaining the utilities, people all over dieing. How many millions or billions would be killed by releases of weaponized smallpox, ebola, hemorragic fever, black plague, etc.?
North Korea is a rabidly communist regime. They are atheists and do not believe in an afterlife. Killing millions has no consequences for them, no judgement by God. The only thing keeping them from already doing this is that they are still alive and want to keep living as long as possible. But if we attack them, then its use it or lose it time. They have seen what we did to Kadaffi and Saddam Hussein.
I’ve seen very few articles written about this possible attack on us by the North Koreans. It’s all been about their ability to nuke us or not and that is NOT the easiest and most deadly attack they can perform on us. Biowarfare is.
Hi Chili,
Never seen you here before, so be warned,.. we don’t tolerate stupid people very well,… and your stupid.
North Korea exists because we build it, financed it, and control it. We give them money, fuel, technology, and the illusion that they are a threat some how.
It’s the same as how we built Japan AND Germany before WW2, and Vietnam after,…. which is the same as how we created Saddam Hussein, Noriega, Gadhafi, Mexican drug cartels, global drug trade and virtually every other bogyman and existential threat that we needed to spend TRILLIONS on to get rid of,.. and ALL on behalf of the Zionist-jew-slime that controls the financial system of the world (look into the BIS,… and the ESF…)
Get the picture?
If you need a few short concise books on the subject, read, “From Major Jordan’s Diaries”, or anything by Anthony C. Sutton, especially, “The Best Enemy Money Can Buy”,…. or something from the most highly decorated US Marine this country has,… Major General Smedly Butler’s “War Is A Racket”,… and those are just for starters.
JD – US Marines: Chili, if your a shill, your wasting your time here,… it your an idiot, your wasting your time here,… if you are genuinely looking to learn the truth,… you have a long road ahead of you,.. but you are welcome to stay and learn…

I will disregard your personal attack and just reply with this:
I understand your point of view. However, just because you created a boogyman, does not mean that crazy boogyman won’t slip the leash and do what boogymen do.
You are assuming that Kim and his crew are under complete control and that is almost never the case.
