North Korea says it will launch nuclear attack on America

[ees complicated no?]

NORTH Korea has sensationally vowed to launch a NUCLEAR attack on the USA.

The provocative statement comes weeks after the country conducted underground nuclear tests which caused a massive earthquake.

A spokesman for the foreign ministry said it will exercise its right for "pre-emptive nuclear strikes on the headquarters of the aggressors” as the UN looks to press for tighter sanctions.

However experts doubt the country's ability to produce a warhead capable of being fitted to a long-range missile.

The UN is set to impose its toughest sanctions yet on Kim Jong-un's nation - they will be drafted today.

The nuke warning from North Korea was put out by the country's official news agency and accused the US of leading the calls for the crippling sanctions.

I was supposed to be going to New York on Monday. I've cancelled my trip just in case.

I suspect it'd be much akin to Wile E Coyote using an ACME bomb to try to catch the Road Runner.

Er... No, no it didn't.

Sensationalist bullshit from the tabloids as per.

I'd advise you to stop reading that crap.

Thanks for the heads up on this, I was getting worried.

Not that I'm overly concerned by the story but it is being reported in the 'serious' press too.

Well if you're interested, here is the KCNA statement (translated into English) in full. Are you still sure that it isn't sensationalism?

And here's one they prepared the day before: http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2013/201303/news05/20130305-07ee.html

Preemptive strike is not a monopoly of the aggressor forces.


It is the fighting method and spirit peculiar to the powerful revolutionary Paektusan army to return fire for fire and react to an enemies' provocation with crushing retaliatory blows.


The all-out action for firmly defending the country's sovereignty and the nation's dignity is one of justice and its triumph is an inevitability of history.
The army and people of the DPRK will not show any mercy to those who are keen to hurt its dignity.



To be honest, there's page after page of this drivel on that site.
