PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea’s top diplomat for U.S. affairs told The Associated Press on Thursday that Washington “crossed the red line” and effectively declared war by putting leader Kim Jong Un on its list of sanctioned individuals, and said a vicious showdown could erupt if the U.S. and South Korea hold annual war games as planned next month.

Han Song Ryol, director-general of the U.S. affairs department at the North’s Foreign Ministry, said in an interview that recent U.S. actions have put the situation on the Korean Peninsula on a war footing.

North Korea: U.S. crossed 'red line', declared war

Look at the little guy. I propose there should be some sort of international law. A person cannot be eligible to be leader of any country if he is not at least a certain height.

Saaay, 6 foot 2?

Have we not learned from history?

North Korea's red lines are about as scary and effective as Obama's are

The thing is nobody is absolutely sure what North Korea has, with that the entire leadership is totally unstable.

The "war" with North Korea never ended, there's been a perpetual cease fire since 1953, it's North Korea's usual yearly pre-maneuvers bluster.

Fine by me. Let's bomb the crap out of them.

Let's hope so. But they did just send a missile within 100 miles of Japanese territory last week, didn't they? Hope it doesn't get messy.

The war never ended for North Korea. They are in a time warp.

They are feeling sassy since China and Russia are in talks and they love Russia. Putin may even be able to talk them out of the dark ages at some point.

Also NK has traditionally been an extortionist state, fire off a few missiles, shoot across the DMZ a few times and threaten war. Pre Bush II we would send negotiators over, haggle over how many millions to pay the North to keep them quiet for a while and wait for the next flair up and do it all over again, Bush II put an end to it by refusing to send negotiators and telling the Asian countries it was their problem. NK is still trying to play the game which shows me they're probably still getting extortion money from someone, probably still getting it from us.

North Korea should join with China and put a shoe up obama's ass so far, it knocks his teeth out.

It's hilarious because the two Koreas are still at war, and the US was fighting too, so they're still at war with the North anyway, so how can you declare war on someone you're already at war with?

The NK leadership is 100% dependent of the little pedophile to give them orders. They don't take a leak without his permission.
One of NK's most powerful military leaders farted at a state dinner recently. The pedophile had him and his entire family executed in public.
In the first five minutes every CC center will be knocked out using MOABS.
The Military leadership will not be able to communicate with the holed up pedophile.
That means they will do NOTHING! Give no orders. Nothing.
The million strong zombie troops will stand around and starve to death within a week.
Those who attempt to cross into SK will be eliminated.
There's nothing more fun to watch than a soldier who hasn't eaten in a week attempt to fight a soldier with a full belly and water canteen and hundreds of rounds of ammo.
FYI every NK zombie soldier is issued forty rounds each. NO MORE under ANY circumstances.
Once the rounds are fired the zombie has orders to attack with his fifty year old bayonet mounted rifle.
Google up what NK looks like at night from a satellite.
What you'll be seeing is the ability for the NK military to maintain communications across the country with it's army.
The entire country is a macro view of the Bob Jones compound multiplied by millions.
The fucking Chinese aren't going to get involved.
Neither is Russia.
Tens of millions of civilian zombies will perish.
Probably just as well. They weren't enjoying a sane life anyway.

North Korea Warns It Would Use Nuclear Weapons First If Threatened
Oct 17 2016 — North Korea has warned that it may carry out further nuclear tests and says it is prepared to launch a preemptive strike on the United States if U.S. nuclear forces mobilize against it.

"The U.S. has nuclear weapons off our coast, targeting our country, our capital and our Dear Leader, Kim Jong Un," a top North Korean official, Lee Yong Pil, said in an exclusive interview with NBC News. "We will not step back as long as there's a nuclear threat to us from the United States," added Lee, who is director of the Foreign Ministry's Institute for American Studies. "A preemptive nuclear strike is not something the U.S. has a monopoly on," he said. "If we see that the U.S. would do it to us, we would do it first. ... We have the technology." Such threats have been a staple of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un since he took power after his father's death in 2011. U.S. officials do not believe Pyongyang possesses weapons able to reach the continental United States.

Lee also warned that North Korea may carry out "a sixth, a seventh or an eighth" nuclear test. Lee said his government's stance was being driven by "the increasingly aggressive" drills by the United States and the South. The comments came as Washington and Seoul conducted joint naval exercises off the Korean peninsula. The South Korean military told the country's Yonhap news agency that one of the drills scheduled to end later this month involved targeting the North's nuclear facilities. For its part, North Korea has accelerated its nuclear program, carrying out its fourth and fifth tests this year. The International Atomic Energy Agency called the moves "deeply troubling" and "regrettable."

Putting the world on notice of another nuclear test would anger the international community, most of which is already considering further sanctions against the reclusive nation for its activity so far. Lee said neither sanctions from the United Nations nor U.S. pressure would stop North Korea's building its arsenal. "We have to have nuclear weapons to protect our country, and it's our policy to go nuclear," he added. Another North Korean official told NBC News that the reclusive nation already has the capability to reach the U.S. mainland with a rocket. Hwang Yongnam, who is authorized to speak about the country's missile program, said the Pentagon is lying when it says the North cannot yet reach the continental United States with a weapon.

Russia Is Building Fallout Shelters to Prepare for a Potential Nuclear Strike
10.17.16 - Russia’s preparing for war. Is this self-defense, an implied threat to the West, an excuse for political repression, or all of the above?

Managers of the Zenit Arena, a giant half-built stadium in St. Petersburg, received an official letter from the Ministry of Emergency Situations last week demanding that they immediately create shelter facilities for wartime. The stadium, under construction for the upcoming World Cup 2018, is located outside of the city boundaries, the letter said, but in case of nuclear attack it is in the potential “zone of war destruction and radiation fallout.“ The last time Russians heard authorities talk like this about a potential mobilization for a nuclear strike was 20 years ago, and it all seemed highly improbable. Now, it appears, the Kremlin is not joking. Up to 40 million people participated in the recent civil defense exercises all across the country, learning about how to hide and where exactly to run to in case of a nuclear war.

But whether the motive behind this is self-defense, an implied threat to the West, a means to mobilize and control public opinion, or all of the above, is not entirely clear. “These are the most serious tensions between Moscow and Washington in decades, said Sergei Markov, a member of the Civic Chamber, a Moscow-based state institution. “The war might begin even before the November elections in the U.S.” “I personally plan to stock 200 cans of pork to be ready for a potential war crisis,” Markov told The Daily Beast in an interview, “and I advise everybody to do the same.”

State Duma Deputy Vadim Dengin said he hoped that there would be no war with United States. “I cannot understand why the West cannot just leave us in peace, let us be,“ the official said. “Americans should realize that it will be their children looking for shelters, too, if they are serious about attacking Russia.“ On Thursday Vladimir Gladkov, a 19 year old student heard from a neighbor that the closest bomb shelter to his apartment building was Kitai Gorod metro station.
