KR North Korea Threatens U.S.: Nuclear Attack ‘The Only Option Left’

Destacado
North Korea on Friday threatened to employ nuclear weapons against the United States, saying such drastic action represents the only remaining way to counter the threat it perceives from the Trump administration.

"In order to eliminate the nuclear threats from the U.S., the DPRK government has made all possible efforts either through dialogue or in resort to the international law, but all ended in a vain effort," North Korean state news wrote in an essay Friday morning about future prospects for peace, using an abbreviation for the country's official name. "The only option left was to counter nuke with nuke."
The troubling language from its state news service follows a steady escalation in North Korean provocations in recent weeks, including blowing up the liaison office earlier this month that it had established with South Korea two years ago. Analysts saw the move as part of an attempt by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to reassert his control after disappearing for two weeks earlier this year.
Cartoons on North Korea

The 5,000-word article on Friday documents the history of North Korea's grievances with the U.S., South Korea and its allies and comes a day after all of these countries marked the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War. But it draws particular attention to the Trump administration, which raised international expectations for a breakthrough with the Hermit Kingdom following a series of high-profile summits between the two leaders in 2017 and 2018.
That progress stalled over disagreements regarding international sanctions against North Korea. And subsequent pledges from President Donald Trump to cancel U.S. military exercises with South Korea – which both Kim and Trump labeled "war games" – have only further provoked North Korean aggression after the U.S. military continued with a pared down version of the drills late last year and this spring.
"No other nation on this planet than the Korean nation has so directly suffered from nuclear threats for so long," North Korea's state news said in the article on Friday. "To our people, nuclear threat is not at all an abstract concept but actual and concrete experience."

The tone of the article also follows new, harsh rhetoric from Kim's sister, Kim Yo Jong, a hardliner who has become the most powerful woman in North Korea and reportedly among the most influential officials within her brother's inner circle. She reportedly ordered the demolition of the liaison office, and labeled South Korea as an "enemy."
North Korea under Kim has accelerated its nuclear weapons testing, both for warheads and the ballistic missiles that would deliver them. And analysts believe the country increasingly sees those technologies as its only way to "level the playing field" given America's immense military arsenal.

"Demanding North Korea surrender its nuclear weapons first before it gets any sort of benefit is just plain naive," says Harry Kazianis, senior director of Korean Studies at the Center for the National Interest. "If you want to get North Korea to come to the bargaining table Washington must offer an action for action approach where both sides get benefits simultaneously, tackling the smallest issues first. That is the only way we will ever get to stability on the Korean Peninsula.
"Anything else guarantees we go from crisis to crisis for decades to come."

Didn't North Korea, and specifically Kim Jong Un, get BTFO'd by Trump which is what made NK & SK shake hands at the boarder? Wasn't Trump the only president to tell Kim off while everyone else bowed down to him?

Did Kim not learn anything from the last time?

You ever get the feeling of Deja Vu? Good let it, finally an actual justified war, that will be over in 5 months without outside assistance since the NORK's don't have the wherewithall for an extended campaign. The big question will be, will it be annexed by South Korea or China. Currently I think it's the South Koreans who should get it. Hopefully if China is at war with India it might be a two for the price of one deals. (I'm being optimistic, but this is 2020 and weird fun stuff keeps on happening.)
 
I think people should take note aside from the whole "I WILL NUKE YOU" typical sperging on the fact that diplomacy with the Norks is sorta fucking dead if this is what they're doing rn.
 
> NoKo declares war on US
> US sweeps Pyongyang
> Nuclear US protectorate on the Chinese border

China won’t allow that to happen, so let’s add them to the equation:

> NoKo declares war on US
> US laughs
> China pretends to want global harmony always

Typical outcome:
> Nothing happens

Paektusan outcome:
> Norks declare war anyways
> China desperately complains
> US amasses navy
> China “invades” NoKo under the guise of peacekeeping
> Both China and the US devolve into political seesawing on Korean influence

Chinese outcome:
> China annexes NoKo
> outrage.wav
> America pretends to care and starts training Koreans as CIA agents

America outcome:
> America tells NoKo to start a shooting war whenever
> NoKo decides to issue support for BLM instead
> Everyone laughs
> America continues to decline

Lmfao stupid faggot.
There's literally nothing they can offer the US that would justify a tit fot tat style of bargaining. You have to have some kind of leverage to make that work.
 
@the fall of man What do you mean "starts training Koreans as CIA agents"? You do realize the SK intel agency is literally named the "Korean Central Intelligence Agency"? NK is probably filled to the brim with glow-in-the-dark KCIA niggers.

Also, for those who think any sort of "limited" strike on Okinawa or Guam will just be laughed at... yes it will, as in we'll laugh at the Kims thinking we'd let that slide as we call up the cruise missile armed B-52's to turn their country into a glowing crater. We won't use any of the actual nasty weapons like ICBM's because we have friends there and fallout is a bitch, especially since the jetstream will blow it into Japan. Two nukes gave us anime. What horrors will be unleashed upon the world if they get infected with the radiation from a nuked NK?
