North Korea...yep, I repeat North Korea, as new warning message circulates around the world where the DPRK boys sternly warned the Washington gods to back off their territory or face the wrath...This North Korea Sef!Pyongyang's state-controlled news agency KCNA said Tuesday the United States and Japan launched a "criminal joint nuclear attack training exercise" in May, citing the presence of B-52 Stratofortress bombers near South Korea in June.
The United States is set on "maximizing" the risk of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and therefore is in no position to advocate denuclearization, Pyongyang said.
In an article published Saturday in the Workers' Party Rodong Sinmun, North Korea said, "Even if our sovereignty and right to exist are interfered with at the slightest, we will turn the U.S. imperialist military bases into seas of fire."
North Korea propaganda outlet DPRK Today has also uploaded videos of medium-range ballistic missile launches, and simulations of attacks against the U.S. mainland or U.S. military bases, Yonhap reported.Ahn Chan-il, a North Korean defector and head of the World Institute for North Korea Studies, said the rising verbal attacks are a sign the era has official begun, and to mark the period of his rule, Pyongyang is "showing off" its foreign and South Korea policy.
Threats, however, have also been accompanied by overtures to Seoul, calling for talks on unification to commemorate the 71st anniversary of independence from Japanese colonial rule.
According to the unification ministry, the government has received 95 messages calling for talks, but the North must first show a willingness to stop provocations and move toward denuclearization, Seoul said.
