In response to the new sanctions imposed upon North Korea by the United
Nations Security Council, the official external news agency of the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea), which goes by the surreal name of “Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee,” issued the following statement:
Let’s reduce the U.S. mainland into ashes and darkness. Let’s vent our spite with mobilization of all retaliation means which have been prepared
till now.

The implication is clear; Pyongyang is threatening to unleash a salvo of long-range ballistic missiles tipped with thermonuclear warheads at
America’s largest cities. This call for nuclear genocide is not only aimed
at the United States. The same statement also included this apocalyptic
message for Japan:
The four islands of the archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of Juche. Japan is no longer needed to exist near us
There is a tendency by foreign observers, including in the U.S., to
dismiss North Korean threats to annihilate the United States and its
population as typical bellicosity that periodically emanates from
Pyongyang, not to be taken seriously. At one time, many American experts
also claimed that North Korea’s boasts of nuclear weapons advancement were highly exaggerated. However, the latest nuclear test detonation and ICBM
launch proves that the reclusive nation’s ability to launch a nuclear
attack on the continental United States has advanced far more rapidly than
they had originally forecasted. For that reason alone, a warning by
Pyongyang that it seeks the genocidal annihilation of America, along with Japan, should not be frivolously ignored and treated as propaganda.
There is an historical parallel to what is unfolding in North Korea. In
1941 the U.S. sought to pressure Imperial Japan to end its war of conquest
in China and expansionism in Southeast Asia through the application of
economic sanctions. As the sanctions became increasingly severe, the
Japanese press warned through statements by authoritative sources that
their nation would be forced to strike back militarily at the U.S. and its allies to break the economic stranglehold being imposed on them.
The reaction of Pyongyang to the most recent U.N. sanctions has disturbing parallels with Japan’s threats in late 1941. However, there is one
essential difference. When Japan decided to attack the U.S. it dispatched
a naval armada that took eleven days to reach its target, which were battleships and airfields. If North Korea unleashes an attack on America,
it will take half an hour for its nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles to
reach their targets, which will be the nation’s largest population centers.
### - after that 'last' test of theirs (now rumoured to have been around
250KT instead of only 120...) am 'damn sure' they're taking it seriously
lol... (hiroshima was said to have been around only 15 to 20 KT, so that
last one of theirs was likely more than 10 times larger?!?)
it's bye-bye london if one of 'those' babies ever lands here! (i had an ordinary vivid dream about 15 years ago about 2 nuclear icbm's landing
only a couple of miles down the road from where i live, saw it plain as
day; 2 long white missiles coming-in head-first almost together right in
front of the local town hall about 40 or 50 feet from the ground when i
saw them, i didn't hang around for the bang hah but immediately ran like a
loon in the opposite direction, i wanted desperately to get home... but
woke up with a start!)
what it IS to live in 'interesting times' eh?
