With US nuclear-capable stealth bombers looming over the Korean Peninsula, North Korea is also continuing to ratchet up the rhetoric, saying they have put all of their rockets on “standby” is response to the threat.
The threats going back and forth are seemingly empty, with North Korea repeatedly claiming their missile systems have been upgrade to “highest” possible levels of readiness only to find another even higher level of alert for a new announcement.
And while the US continues to lash North Korea for its bellicose statements, they are responding seemingly in kind, adding more and more nuke-capable bombers to the theater and talking up plans for war.
Though these periods of tit-for-tat threats are nothing new, they do occasionally lead to incidents of violence along the disputed border, and with the latest US pact with South Korea, even a minor incident could conceivably lead to a precipitous escalation.
Is going to get messy.., as the man from Chicago with noble peace prize said…,
By definition, fake rockets are always on standby.
Take the chance big bad yankee.
Interesting that you can actually see from space the sparser vegetation and less cultivated land in North Korea as opposed to South Korea. Ordinary North Koreans are starving and food has to be imported from China. Nonetheless, it is still utterly insane to provoke a war with them.
america do not have the belly to start and lose another war just showing how impotent she has become.
Uncle Sam is always on the prowl, like a ravenous lion, to destroy someone, anyone, just to show that it can. That its taken nearly fifty years for him to get back to Korea is amazing. And just who is threatening whom with nukes? Are we to believe anything the US says? This coming from the most vocal and active liars on the planet.
