As tensions continue to rise between North Korea and the rest of the world, North Korea is now threatening nuclear war. Read about it and see a video below.
North Korea Threatens Nuclear War
North Korea has been testing nukes and long range missiles for a while now. In recent months, the nuke tests and threats have increased significantly. As we have reported before, there are a few possible reasons for this escalation of defiance. One is preparations for the recently announced accession of Kim Jong-Il’s son, Kim Jong-Un to the position of Dictator in Chief of the isolated communist state. Another more ominous possibility is that Pyongyang is in the market to sell nuclear technology to rough states and are demonstrating what they have for sale.
The U.N. has done what the UN does, given stern warnings and let the North Koreans know that they will be very, very unhappy if the DPRK nukes their neighbors, South Korea or Japan. I believe they are drafting and sending a stern letter to Kim to that effect. While visiting Europe last week, the President of the United States, Barack Obama, said he’d have to give a great deal of thoughtful contemplation about the whole matter should North Korea not step back from their threatening behavior.
I’m sure all that has the North Korean government shaking in their proverbial boots.
Well, they might not be shaking in their boots because instead of backing off, they are upping the ante. They are now saying that if the U.N. follows through with the sanctions they are planning to impose that there will be nuclear war on the Korean peninsula. They also vow to step up their nuclear weapon making program.
North Korea’s communist regime has warned of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula while vowing to step up its atomic bomb-making program in defiance of new U.N. sanctions.
The North’s defiance presents a growing diplomatic headache for President Barack Obama as he prepares for talks Tuesday with his South Korean counterpart on the North’s missile and nuclear programs.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak told security-related ministers during an unscheduled meeting Sunday to “resolutely and squarely” cope with the North’s latest threat, his office said. Lee is to leave for the U.S. on Monday morning.
A commentary Sunday in the North’s main state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, claimed the U.S. has 1,000 nuclear weapons in South Korea. Another commentary published Saturday in the state-run Tongil Sinbo weekly claimed the U.S. has been deploying a vast amount of nuclear weapons in South Korea and Japan.
Obama was golfing today and has not commented on the situation in North Korea or the Iranian uprising as students attempt to free themselves from the oppressive dictatorship there.

I’m sure its been explained to these clowns before that their whole power structure will fry if they attack anyone, let alone the USA. Seriously, what are they gonna do? OK, they can bomb the hell out of Seoul, but one aircraft carrier can just annihilate them after that. We need to make that shit crystal clear to these idiots. We all need to make it clear to the Chinese that they better do something to help, or they’re gonna have a radioactive neighbor, cuz homie DOES NOT PLAY THAT.

china saved north korea in the korean war after the UN and US forces occupied the north and were ready to make their final push to destroy the kim regime by sending in 1000000 chinese army. They still hide under china’s skirts and that is the big complicator.
