North Korea says it will launch nuclear attack on America

[DrLeftover]

A foreign ministry spokesman said: Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest.

I guess they aren't so sure the US won't use nuclear weapons against them.



Or maybe they've had enough and just want to end it all.

China deserted them after the threat...

(CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council unanimously passed tougher sanctions against North Korea Thursday targeting the secretive nation's nuclear program hours after Pyongyang threatened a possible preemptive nuclear attack.

These sanctions will bite, and bite hard, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said after the vote.

China, North Korea's key ally, could have used its veto power to block the sanctions. Instead, after weeks of negotiating, it signed on to the final draft.

China is a country of principle, China's U.N. Ambassador Li Baodong said. We are firmly committed to safeguarding peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.

Interesting analysis and commentary:

But now? Lee is gone. His successor, Park Geun-hye, had visited Pyongyang and dined with Kim. She has pledged to build trustpolitik with the North, which sounds like sunshine redux. Why then did Kim Jong-un greet her with a nuclear test and lurid threats?

Perhaps the new Kim on the block is the answer. Young, untried and by some accounts hot-headed, like a new Mafia boss succeeding his father, he may feel he has to show all concerned – his own team, as well as his many foes – that he is a tough guy, no pushover.

Point taken. Yet the fact that Kim just spent two days with a clapped-out basketball player, but didn't make time to meet a real mover and shaker like Google's Eric Schmidt, gives no confidence that North Korea's jejune ruler can think straight or has his priorities right.

Sometimes I wonder how much actual power Kim Jong-un has.

China deserted them after the threat...

Not very surprising.

 

[DrLeftover]

He is the puppet of the Military Junta.



That's been obvious from the start.

 

[Evil Eye]

Which makes me wonder who really wants this war.

 

[DrLeftover]

George W Bush?

That sounds like the easy way out.
