What was once said in 2013, might come to fruition. Hopefully not, however. Nobody has taken Un or North Korea, for that matter, seriously in decades. However, during this time the capability has improved and has become more threatening. Imagine one day, Kim Jong Un makes the threat to nuke the United States and all of the American citizens laugh it off, then go back to watching their favorite NBA game while downing pints of beer.
The American shopping mall regime is blind, and most don’t even know N. Korea flew a ‘weather satellite‘ over the continental U.S. right after the Super Bowl because they were hung over from all the beer that day. What if it wasn’t a weather satellite? What if it’s an EMP bomb waiting for the command to fall out of the sky? Why does North Korea need to monitor the weather over the United States? What if it does in fact drop out of the sky one day while America is focused on the Kardashians and puts the nation back into the stone age? The average American attention span to these things is 24 hours. Move along, nothing to see.
Six months from now this threat will have been completely forgotten and America could have a devastating wake up call. It’s said up to 9 in 10 Americans could die from the following waves of effects. The situation has gone past the joke stage. Your reply to all this this might be: “Well, we’ll fully retaliate and destroy North Korea, then. No worries.” If that’s the case, fine. But it still wouldn’t stop what has already been done — and there is no known method of stopping a falling EMP out of the sky which would detonate above its target within 3 – 5 minutes.
America, or any other nation hasn’t done anything about North Korea during its last three dictatorships in the Kim Jong- family line. There’s no reason to expect North Korea to be stopped when it’s had over three decades of being allowed to do whatever it wants. Lastly, Kim Jong Un just told his nation to prepare for “chewing on roots“, in other words: Starvation. This could be considered war preps, and not necessarily an upcoming famine.
North Korea has once again asserted that it will use its nuclear weapons arsenal against the United States. Unlike previous statements, however, a note from the rogue state’s foreign minister on Monday insisted that North Korea is fully equipped and ready to use a nuclear weapon on the United States, not just willing to do so.
Foreign Minister Lee Su-yong insisted in a statement Monday that Pyongyang would not hesitate to use their nuclear weapons against America, and they now no longer needed to wait for their scientists to build the weapons necessary for such an attack. “In response to the US frenzied hysteria for unleashing a nuclear war, we have fully transferred our army from the form of military response to the form of delivering a pre-emptive strike and we state resolutely about the readiness to deliver a pre-emptive nuclear strike,” he said, adding that North Korea “faces the dilemma: a thermonuclear war or peace.”
It is not the first time (this month) that North Korean officials make similar threats. Most recently, the North Korean government released a propaganda video over the weekend depicting a nuclear attack on Washington D.C. The video is titled “Last Chance.”
Earlier this month, North Korean officials, through the nation’s state-run media outlets, threatened to use a hydrogen bomb on Manhattan. In February, North Korean state media identified all of the “mainland U.S.” as a nuclear target. Such threats have become more common following the January announcement that the North Korean military had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, which was met with extreme skepticism by the world’s nuclear scientists given the small size of the quake caused by the bomb in question.

North Korean state media has made clear that this latest round of belligerent activity is a protest against a scheduled meeting between President Barack Obama, South Korean President Park Geun-hye, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe later this week. The heads of state are scheduled to meet in Washington D.C. to discuss constructive approaches to curbing North Korean aggression. Park will meet with each head of state individually, as well, according to Yonhap. President Xi Jinping of China will also be in Washington this week and is expected to attend the larger Nuclear Security Summit.
