North Korea warns of missile attack

[240 is Back]

Anyone... ANYONE...  Why the heck are we so turned on by an attack on iran, who is letting tourists tour their nuclear development starter kit... when we have NK blowing up nukes underground and tonight, telling the world that they will fire a nuke at us if we don't drop sanctions.

neocons, speak up!  Tell us why it's anything but the oil under them.
ROGUE state North Korea last night threatened a nuclear missile attack if trade and financial sanctions are not dropped, but also offered to return to negotiations about disbanding its atomic weapons program.

The new tactical swerve came a day after Pyongyang defied the world's major powers by exploding a small nuclear bomb, and almost 12 months after it boycotted the six-party disarmament talks.

"We hope the situation will be resolved before an unfortunate incident of us firing a nuclear missile comes," an unnamed North Korean official told South Korea's Yonhap news agency.

The country's failed test of a long-range Taepodong-2 missile on July 5 demonstrated the North Koreans were years away from being able to launch an attack on the mainland US.

However, their proven Rodong medium-range missiles are able to reach all of South Korea and most of the Japanese archipelago, leaving the question of whether dictator Kim Jong-il's technicians have managed to devise a small enough bomb for a missile warhead.

Most foreign analysts also judge that to be outside North Korea's current capabilities, but that has not stopped the Stalinist regime regularly threatening to turn Japanese and mainland US cities into "seas of fire".

North Korea says it will regard sanctions as a call to war and has threatened more nuclear tests if the US continues its "hostile attitude" towards the communist regime.

The warnings from the reclusive state - which shocked the world by announcing its first nuclear weapons test on Monday - came as South Korea ordered its military to check its readiness for a nuclear conflict.

"The issue of future nuclear tests is linked to US policy toward our country," said Kim Yong Nam, who is second to North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.

"If the United States continues to take a hostile attitude and apply pressure on us in various forms, we will have no choice but to take physical steps to deal with that," Kim said in an interview with Japan's Kyodo News agency.

Earlier, an unnamed North Korean official said it would regard full-scale sanctions as a call to war, Yonhap news agency reported.

"Sanctions are nonsense. If full-scale sanctions take place, we will regard it as a declaration of war," the official said.

"The more pressure we get, the stronger our response will be."

Stupid North Koreans - don't they realise they have no chance against the US, Japan, and the UK combined if they launch their puny attacks. Fools.

I honestly doubt they will attack anyone.

If they hit Japan || SK, they get owned by Japan, US, UK etc etc

If they hit China... well all hell will break lose. China, already not wanting a huge influx of N Koreans on its soil would just go in with its 250Mil man strong army and slaughter every N Korean.

I just don't see them hitting the US from their position, plus the missile would be intercepted.

If they use those rockets they tested previously, then the nuke will most likely blow up in their faces

Why don't we have a nuclear test on North Korea.  Problem solved.  Whose got their back?  Cambodia?
