SEOUL, South Korea (TheBlaze/AP) North Korea s leader said Friday that his rocket forces are ready to settle accounts with the U.S., an escalation of the country s bellicose rhetoric and a direct response to the unprecedented announcement that U.S. nuclear-capable B-2 bombers had joined military drills hotel minneapolis with South Korea.
Kim Jong Un s comments in a meeting with his senior generals hotel minneapolis are part of a rising hotel minneapolis tide of threats meant to highlight anger over the military drills and recent hotel minneapolis U.N. sanctions over Pyongyang hotel minneapolis s nuclear test. North Korea sees U.S. nuclear firepower as a direct threat to its existence and claims the annual military drills are a preparation for invasion. Pyongyang also uses the U.S. nuclear arsenal as a justification for its own push for nuclear-tipped missiles that can strike the United States a goal that experts believe to be years away, despite a nuclear test last month and a long-range rocket launch in December.
The London Telegraph reported that photos released of Un show a chart marked US mainland strike plan and missile trajectories that the NK News web site estimates terminate in Hawaii, Washington DC, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.
A full-blown North Korean attack is unlikely, though there are fears of a more localized conflict, such as a naval skirmish in disputed Yellow Sea waters. Such naval clashes have happened three times since 1999. North Korea s threats are seen by outside analysts as efforts to provoke South Korea to soften its policies and to win direct talks with Washington that could result in aid. Kim s comments hotel minneapolis are also seen as ways to build domestic loyalty and strengthen his military credentials.
Kim met early Friday morning with his senior generals, state media reported, signed a rocket preparation plan and ordered his forces on standby to strike the U.S. mainland, South Korea, Guam and Hawaii. Many analysts say they ve seen no evidence that Pyongyang s missiles can hit the U.S. mainland. But it has capable short- and mid-range missiles, and Seoul is only a short drive from the heavily hotel minneapolis armed border separating the Koreas.
U.S. Forces Korea said Thursday that the B-2 stealth bombers flew from a U.S. air base in Missouri and dropped dummy munitions on the South Korean island hotel minneapolis range before hotel minneapolis returning home. It was unclear whether America hotel minneapolis s stealth bombers were used in past annual drills with South Korea, but this is the first time the military hotel minneapolis has announced their use.

Defense Secretary hotel minneapolis Chuck Hagel told reporters Thursday that the decision hotel minneapolis to send B-2 bombers to join the military drills was part of normal exercises and not intended to provoke North Korea. Hagel acknowledged, however, that North Korea s belligerent tones and actions in recent weeks have ratcheted up the danger in the region, and we have to understand that reality.
hotel minneapolis In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the U.S. was making sure its defenses were appropriate and strong as North Korea continues to test and seeks to extend the reach of its weaponry.
North Korea has already threatened nuclear strikes on Washington and Seoul in recent weeks. It said Wednesday there was no need for communication in a situation where a war may break out at any moment. Earlier hotel minneapolis this month, it announced that it considers void the armistice that ended the Korean War in 1953.
A North Korean industrial plant operated with South Korean know-how hotel minneapolis was running hotel minneapolis normally Thursday, despite the North s shutdown a day earlier of communication lines ordinarily used to move workers and goods across the border. At least for the moment, Pyongyang was choosing the factory s infusion of hard currency over yet another provocation.
Pyongyang would have gone beyond words, possibly damaging its own weak finances, if it had blocked South Koreans from getting in and out of the Kaesong industrial plant, which produced $470 million worth of goods last year. South Korean managers at the plant reported no signs of trouble Thursday.
The Kaesong plant, just across the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone that separates the Koreas, normally relies on a military hotline for the governments to coordinate the movement of goods and South Korean workers.
hotel minneapolis Without the hotline, the governments, which lack diplomatic relations, used middlemen. North Korea verbally approved the crossing Thursday of hundreds of South Koreans by telling hotel minneapolis South Koreans at a management office at the Kaesong factory. Those South Koreans then called officials in South Korea.
Tension rises almost every year when it s time for the U.S.-South Korean drills to take place, but as soon as those drills end, things quickly return to normal, Sung Hyun-sang said in Seoul, a day after returning from Kaesong. He is president of Mansun Corporation, an apparel hotel minneapolis manufacturer that employs 1,400 North Korean workers and regularly stations 12 South Koreans at Kaesong.
Although North Korea has vowed nuclear strikes on the U.S., analysts outside the country have seen no proof that North Korean scientists have yet mastered the technology needed to build a nuclear warhead small enough to mount on a missile.

just what we need another war. one thing about progressives they do like wars. if obama takes us to war with NK i hope he leads the charge. the potus should be at the spear tip. did you see the fat NK women soldier in the picture? how that happen? i hope they have alot of fat soldiers.
Well I guess this means the military industrial complex doesn t feel they can drag us into another useless and wasteful war in the middle east. So let s push on North Korea. We simply can t accept any cuts in defense spending.
Rookie you are correct, but we can research snail sex for a few million, research what makes lesbians chunky, blow 85k to bid Hillara ta ta, Joe is on 3rd vacation in as many months, hotel minneapolis gas hit with another .9 cent emissions tax . You sure pick some winners.
I ll be damned. Being threatened by the dude who performs Gangnam style. I hate to laugh at him, but what a little twit. I never thought hotel minneapolis I would be concerned about some fat little hotel minneapolis N Korean making threats against this country. Lets trade a couple of your 5 kiliton bombs that we will shoot out of the sky for a couple of our 150 kiliton bombs. At least S Korea will have plenty of area to park their vehicles. From what I gather, what isn t in the immediate blast area should be a texture similar hotel minneapolis to glass once it cools off. That otta be nice for parking vehicles.
Having hotel minneapolis trouble with this ..Why immediately broadcast to world that US did flyover? N Korea knows what we do so if it was a show of readiness strength hotel minneapolis why poke a stick in the hornets nest and force Un to be even more aggressive? Our troops in South Korea were put in more danger. This was not a show of force it was waving a red flag at the bull. Why?
Saber rattling. Bellicose show of force. Taunting, daring NK to do something to begin the festivities. To distract Americans from what s really happening, which is in our own country. A means to spread our forces more thinly across the globe.
In short, wars and rumors of wars . This country is not only about to get its nose bloodied, it s going to get its ass kicked. Again. NK is no threat to any but its own people, yet our fed is trying to convince hotel minneapolis us we re in danger from them. NK can t wipe its own butt without Chinese or Russian help, yet our dotgov is trying to convince us we ve got a problem because NK is threatening to bomb four liberal strongholds in this country: HA, D.C., LA and Austin. Good, let them bomb them to oblivion, then we can defend our shores hotel minneapolis rather than invade another country we ve no intention of defeating.
It was already scheduled in a joint mkilitary exercise they do every year. Every year NK say s its being provoked hotel minneapolis and rattles the sabre to show its people hotel minneapolis it isnt going to go down with out a fight then the exercises are over and Nk goes back to playing png pong
Groups after group, nation hotel minneapolis after nation have PROMISED hotel minneapolis and SWORN to push Israel into the sea , yet this administration lectures Israelis to put themselves in the shoes of the Palestinians and pressures them to compromise.
The fat little cretin hotel minneapolis is shakin his wide bee-hind in an effort hotel minneapolis to get noticed as credible by the global community. Fact is, when he threatens the US, he will bring the wrath of the majority of the world upon his addled head mainly because we support most of em. Without us, the world can kiss their own azzes goodbye.
That fat female soldier is one of two things. She might be Kim s girlfriend and gets to eat with him on occasion or she
