NORTH KOREA THREATENS A PREEMPTIVE NUCLEAR STRIKE AGAINST THE US AS SOON AS MONDAY

North Korea has continued in it’s anti-America rhetoric, today saying they will launch a preemptive strike against the US, as soon as March 11th. North Korea say that American drills in South Korea, due to begin on Monday, are provocation for such a move.

A spokesman for the North’s foreign ministry said: “Since the US is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to ­preemptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest.”

Although it is believed North Korea has enough nuclear material to produce a crude nuclear device, it is not believed they have mastered the technology required to make a nuclear warhead capable of reaching the US.

A few hours after North Korea’s threat the UN security council ruled unanimously to impose tough new sanction on North Korea. The new sanctions are a response to the rogue states recent nuclear testing despite widespread international condemnation.

Susan Rice, US ambassador to the UN, said: “North Korea will achieve nothing by continued threats and ­provocations.

“These will only further isolate the country and its people and undermine efforts to promote peace in north east Asia.”

It is hoped the new sanctions will make it harder for North Korea to purchase the materials they need to advance their nuclear program.

  1. Many dictators try to maintain an artificial unity in their country by mobilizing public opinion against an external enemy, and they need to create that enemy when there is none… It actually distracts their people from the bad situation prevailing in their own country. North Korea is a perfect example of that.
