PYONGYANG - North Korean state media warned on Tuesday of a nuclear attack on the United States at any sign of American aggression as a US Navy strike group steamed toward the western Pacific. US President Donald Trump, who has urged China to do more to rein in its impoverished neighbor, said in a Tweet that North Korea was "looking for trouble" and the United States would "solve the problem" with or without China's help. Tension has escalated sharply on the Korean peninsula amid concerns that reclusive North Korea may soon conduct a sixth nuclear test and after Washington said at the weekend it was diverting US Navy strike group Carl Vinson from port calls to Australia toward the Korean peninsula as a show of force North Korea state media warns of nuclear strike if provoked
Unfortunately not. I don't have as much problem with NK. They are isolationists, as long as they keep it in their borders I could personally give a sh*t less what they do.
I agree on NK not being a concern, as long as their fart missles stay in country. Let them amuse themselves.
Well, I live most of the year in Seoul (and 4 months per in Duma), and so I care quite a bit about the northern evil and its K-ligula.... and do fervently hope for stability and peace. The addition of an impulsive unstable un-empathetic hothead leader in WashDC to match with the one already in Pyeongyang -- does give us a freshly grave concern.
Key words being keep it in their borders. I agree if he stays within his borders, but with a crackpot for a leader who wants some bad toys you never know. It doesn't really make sense to drop a nuclear weapon on someone, but crackpots don't have to make sense. If he ever got the sense his time was up, who knows what he might do.
Saturday is the big day. Prospects of war breaking out seem lowered, and we are thankful. Just hoping that nothing much happens after all, and both sides feel their point has been made. US VP Pence is due in Seoul on Sunday (not expected to say anything new, but we'll see), and there have been no evacuations, so it looks to have been some mutual bluffing -- same-old same-old.
