North Korea issues threat to U.S. military

[BDforever]

(CNN) -- Ahead of annual, routine military exercises between South Korea and the United States, North Korea issued its usual caustic objections Saturday.

It threatened "miserable destruction," if "your side ignites a war of aggression by staging the reckless joint military exercises ... at this dangerous time."

Though customary, the stark posturing by North Korea stands in the shadow of an underground nuclear test two weeks ago that was preceded by the launch of a long-range missile capable of transporting a warhead.

The detonation of the nuclear charge was the third in Pyongyang's history and the first under supreme leader Kim Jong Un's rule. South Korea's military reacted with fierce military drills, including a public display of newly deployed cruise missiles with pinpoint accuracy.

It has been on heightened readiness ever since.

The test also triggered a global wave of condemnation, including from Beijing, and plans for new sanctions against Pyongyang.

North Korea issued the objections to exercises Key Resolve and Foal Eagle scheduled for March and April to U.S. commander James D. Sherman, state run news agency KCNA reported.

The message was delivered over the phone in English, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.

It also condemned the threat of new sanctions over North Korea's recent actions.

A United Nations military commission informed Pyongyang of the upcoming routine exercises, according to a joint statement from U.S. and South Korean military officials.

The commission also told North Korea that they are "not related with the current situations on the Korean Peninsula."

Around 10,000 U.S. forces will participate in Foal Eagle from March 1 to April 30. Key Resolve will involve 10,000 South Korean troops and 3,500 U.S. troops in exercises March 11 to 21.

Key Resolve will include U.N. troops and neutral supervisors.

They are a high threat to South Korea and Japan though - all the sanctions and restrictions is not providing the results - it's just making North Korean population die of hunger. There should be some way in which the North Korean regime can be brought down.

Why does it need to be "brought down" they are more valuable as a "partner" than being overthrown. Take China for example. There's a saying "Keep your friend close and your enemy closer" What the US is doing is pretty much the opposite. Instead of trying to get closer to North Korea they just push them further away.

What the US should do is start sending an olive branch and see where that roll from there.

The regime needs to be brought down because it's killing their own people, secondly it's a real threat to other nations. The regime is also a reason for nuclear and missile proliferation to unstable regimes and countries.


North Korea after Kim Jong Il: We need to talk about Kim | The Economist

TO HIS many victims, and to anyone with a sense of justice, it is deeply wrong that Kim Jong Il died at liberty and of natural causes. The despot ran his country as a gulag. He spread more misery and poverty than any dictator in modern times, killing more of his countrymen in the camps or through needless malnutrition and famine than anyone since Pol Pot. North Koreans are on average three inches shorter than their well-fed cousins in the South. One in 20 has passed through the gulags. Once somebody is deemed a political enemy, his whole family can be condemned to forced labour too. Now, Kim Jong Il will never be held to account.

Kim was pathologically indifferent to the misery of his people. By his own lights, life was sweet. He enjoyed cognac, fine cheeses and sushi. He relished wielding power over his people and his ability, through nuclear provocation, to milk and manipulate the outside world. He bombed an airliner.

The world wont complain this time, if USA invades NK. Its really menace to its own people.

Word from the wise "Don't smell at other people's garbage" Your kind is the reason why the world is fu*ked up. Who cares if a tyrant killed its own people as long as they keep the trade flowing.

You need to learn more from this man.

Machiavellianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and you need to learn about Realpolitik & realize that Altruism have no place in Politic.

What you need to understand about North Korea is that they have Nukes. What your proposing is pretty much INSANE.

maybe, could be, probably. In case people forgotten. Every years there's always a story about how "North Korea WILL attack the US and or it allies."

but you forgot to add one thing-the military games. against NK.

North Korea will like attack S Korea if the situation gets worse in N Korea. But every year, as you stated, North Korea will threaten S Korea, US and Japan. N Korea is in a survival mode, in terms of its regime and its population.

 

[Thəorətic Muslim]

This is nothing new, before every military exercise the NK threatens the USA and SK.

Just hope these wackos dont actually do anything stupid.

 

[Fsjal]

The North Koreans always warn South Korea and US. Is there a time when North Korea didn't warn 'em.

 

[Vitchilo]

The Kim Jong Il family should be obliterated from this earth, they have caused enough misery as it is.

NKorea should put up or shut up and hopefully when Xi takes over, he'll cut everything to NKorea if they continue their crap, unlike that weakling Jintao who licked NKorea's boots and never had enough guts to tell them to go to hell.
