North Korea is threatening to attack American air bases on Guam and the Japanese island of Okinawa in response to a series of military drills involving the U.S. and South Korea.
The U.S. Air Force has been flying B-52 bombers, which are capable of carrying nuclear weapons, over the Korean Peninsula.
“The U.S. should not forget that the Anderson Air Force Base on Guam, where B-52 bombers take off, and naval bases in Japan and Okinawa where nuclear-powered submarines are launched, are within the striking range of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea precision strike means,” read a statement from Kim Yong Chul, the spokesman of North Korea’s army.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said Tuesday that the B-52 drills show a commitment and ability to defend South Korea from the North, Sky News reports.
North Korea has been increasing its anti-U.S. rhetoric after the United Nations imposed harsh sanctions on the country over its nuclear program.
North Korea just modernized their Airforce
LMAO.Thanks Mark that put in perspective for me.
One of the all-time worst t.v. shows ever produced.
Only a hardcore bad theater junkie could indulge.
As for N. Korea, rhetoric is their stock-in-trade.
SHAAAAAADUUUUP, ALREADY!
Don’t be absurd. NK can’t attack anything. All they are doing is what they always do. Make a lot of noise, and hope someone pays them shut up. They have been doing for decades.
