Faced with another round of US threats late last week to impose yet more sanctions and see North Korea “further isolated,” the reclusive nation has announced it is going to continue to boost its “nuclear deterrent.”
The statement, from North Korea’s foreign ministry, warned that the policy of increasing its arsenal would continue “as long as the United States was continuing with its hostile policies.” Needless to say, there is no serious chance of the US not being hostile toward it.
The latest round of hostility came last month, when North Korea failed to put a satellite in orbit. The US responded by announcing it is cancelling all food aid to North Korea because it considered the launch a “provocative act.” The US has also brought the matter to the UN Security Council, demanding unspecified action to punish them for the launch.
The statement adds to speculation that North Korea is planning a new nuclear test. The US threatened a “swift and sure response” if any such tests took place, and demanded that North Korea abandon the program.
how long before the US is finally nuked for it's bad behavior…
less than 5 years …
I doubt it. By the time a nuke is set to launch off we will have locked onto the target and blown it out of the sky, We will then retaliate and wipe out the country that tried. While I agree we need to keep our nose in our business the rest of the world will whine and complain when we are not there to back the cowards up.
You sure are another USan macho man, ain't ya?
It would do you good if you educate yourself more.
I do eduate myself and I realize where our goverenment has put us on the world stage. However the American Citizens are sick of our goverenment
No..the rest of the world will choose a sovereign independent route. The US is no longer respected, or revered, because it cannot deliver anything close to winning a war. It loses war's, because it is clumsy. NK has no desire to commit suicide with launching a nuke, but they would destroy South Korea, and the US forces their faster than anyone can imagine.
And then when crap hits the fan they look at America to come help as they throw in the white flag and show their cowardly ways. As far as NK winning. That is laughable at best. Communism always ends in disaster. But hey if like oppressive goverenments then have it at comrade
Rah rah rah! We're #1! We're #1!
Oh, btw, let's just hope they're not putting any of those counterfeit Chinese parts into your WMD or…oops! the whole thing may end up blowing up on your face or, rather, blowing you all up! ROFL!
YES, the us will probably be nuked–sooner THAN later–
There ya go. Funny how that works, every time the Empire embarks in a crusades, it accomplishes the complete opposite of that what it set out to do – or at least it said it was trying to do. Makes one wonder if they're not doing this on purpose.
Look at all the hatred. All the hatred for a country that has bailed your governments out one way or another at one time.
Wal-Mart drives it’s competition out of business and we except that as legal, so why can’t Empire USA do the same? For we have 10,000 nukes, how dare North Korea have four nukes?
For we all deserve to be rich, we exceptional Americans, and the only way to achieve this is to enrich ourselves upon the misery of those who are not exceptional. Some call it brutal imperialism, but is it not legal and in our best interest?
