North Korea threatened to exercise its "right to pre-emptive nuclear attack" Thursday as Pyongyang ratcheted up its rhetoric ahead of a United Nations vote on new sanctions.
"Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest,'' the North's foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency. NBC News could not immediately confirm the statement. However, the remarks were also reported by media outlets including The Associated Press.
On Wednesday, the South Korean military said it would strike back at North Korea and target its top leadership if Pyongyang attacks.
North Korea continues military drills and exercises in support of a top general's threat to back military action against South Korea and the United States. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.

Tensions have ratcheted higher across the Korean Peninsula since the North, under youthful leader Kim Jong Un who took office just over a year ago after the death of his father, launched a long-range rocket last December.
He followed this with a third nuclear test on February 12, triggering the prospect of more U.N. sanctions that are due to be formally announced on Thursday after the United States and China, the North's one major diplomatic ally, struck a deal to punish Pyongyang.

Jeezuz. This is not going to end well. If both sides don't calm down and back off soon, we're going to see a massive nuclear war that could end everything as we know it...

I'm getting tired of this, I'mma go get someone to launch Pink Ponies and Rainbows at North Korea.

They would probably rage and shoot you back with a rainbow laser show!
In all seriousness though, this doesn't look good. I'm actually beginning to worry because this could set off some very deadly attacks that could potentially kill millions, if not billions, of people.

I'm surprised that China actually made a deal with the US and not with North Korea.

We're one of China's biggest buyers of their goods. If we fall in a war, they lose a massive amount of income from trade. Being caught in the middle of an active war between a huge trade customer and a close ally is also not a position they want to be put in.

Good point, definitely agree with that

dumb people are just dumb.

There would not be a huge war at all.. As soon as the Korean Commies launch the rocket, it would most likely be shot down by China or Russia before it even would reach the sky. Afterwards, the whole Korean Peninsula would sink from the response attacks by NATO

This^
However, I'm not sure NATO would respond right away I think that you'd see the immediate response from China and South Korea before any other entity has the time to meet and respond. However, South Korea has a new president so I'm not entirely sure if the response would be as immediate anymore.

Not at all. China and Russia aren't even dragged into this, especially Russia isn't. If a rocket is indeed launched, nothing much can be done.
-
If North Korea do decide to try anything they are basically signing their own death certificates as NATO will do whatever it can be meet the force and it has a lot more military power behind it than N Korea could even wish for.

I wouldn't judge a book by it's cover. I believe that she has a lot more to show than she may first seem. And Gangnam Style on her side.
-
I couldn't give less fuck about N. Korea or USA, but these Koreans are really bloodthirsty motherfuckers, not to mention how disgraceful their regime is. I'm a socialist but the way they run their country and ass-lick the dude whose face expression shows what level of retardedness he has reached mind fucks me. I'm sure there must be at least some sane and powerful men to overthrow his pathetic ass and guide the country in a better direction. On the other hand as Rytuklis mentioned even if they'd do it, their rockets wouldn't succeed in anything, and afterwards they'd enjoy themselves being "liberated" by Uncle Sam as many before.

Propaganda is a beautiful thing. Most North Koreans know nothing of the outside world.

She's the former South Korean dictator's daughter. You can bet on her cruelty AND stupidity.
-
North Korea is using these "treaths" because they are being attacked with UN sanctions.
They are actully just digging their own grave, because they want to protect their own visions.
-
The did not actually threat the US.. the threat the western nations (west EU) so actually: Germany, france, Great Brittain and so on. because there friends with the US.

North Korea and the United States are not friends. If anything, they are complete and total enemies because their political, social, and economic views are completely the opposite from one another in many ways.

This AND I believe you have mistaken North Korea and Sounth Korea

Are you implying that she is stupid and cruel because she is former dictator's daughter?
No, wait.
Are you clearly-out stating that she IS stupid and cruel because she is former dictator's daughter?

Get back on topic guys.

I am not that stupid to generalize things without any facts.
As you can see, I am a South Korean myself.. And yes, she's stupid. How do I know? People show their true self when they talk. I think you wont understand what I mean since you cannot understand her speaking Korean.
She was elected by those retarded elders who think the dictator saved South Korea back in the old days even tho he killed thousands of ppl.
Anyways, UN made an agreement to suppress NK yesterday.. I highly doubt that NK is stupid enough to start a war that they will lose for 100% sure. Besides, they "threatened" to attack 4532547853857 times in the past, so I am now immune to these kinds of statements now.

I liked how you pointed out the sarcasm that follows the US's "liberations"
-
inb4 "we must set N.Korea free!"
"Kill all innocent peoples! !"

I don't think they kill innocent people. Their policy is simple, they decide to "liberate" a nation from its bad and corrupt system, in that way overthrowing the opposing government and establishing a new puppet state

Alright, thank you for clarifying, got me a bit worried there!
Get back on topic guys.
Enough with provoking, everything is on topic here.

North Korea says 'prepare for war'
North Korea's leader placed his army on readiness to “annihilate the enemy†on Friday as the regime officially renounced all non-aggression pacts with its southern neighbour.
Kim Jong-un escalated his inflammatory response to a new round of United Nations sanctions by ordering troops on the border with South Korea to prepare for war.
But China, North Korea’s only powerful ally, publicly urged “calm and restraintâ€ÂÂ.
Mr Kim chose a highly sensitive location for his address to North Korean troops, visiting military positions facing the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong, where a North Korean bombardment killed four people and wounded 19 in 2010.
Mr Kim “stressed the need for the soldiers to keep themselves fully ready to go into action to annihilate the enemyâ€ÂÂ. The country’s official news agency added that, if war broke out, he “instructed them to deal deadly blows at the enemiesâ€ÂÂ.
Mr Kim’s open talk of a new Korean war came after his regime threatened America with a “pre-emptive†nuclear strike. The belligerence came in response to the unanimous vote in the UN Security Council on Thursday to impose further economic sanctions. These measures followed North Korea’s third test of a nuclear bomb last month.
In addition, Mr Kim has ended the hot-line between North and South, which was designed to defuse crises, and renounced various non-aggression pacts between the two countries.
Despite all the posturing, experts believe that North Korea is highly unlikely to start a war. South Korea benefits from a US security guarantee, meaning that Mr Kim would almost certainly lose any conflict. North Korea has a small nuclear arsenal, but it does not yet have an operational missile capable of striking the US.
A spokesman for South Korea’s defence ministry pointed out: “If North Korea attacks South Korea with a nuclear weapon, Kim Jong-un’s regime will perish from the Earth.â€ÂÂ
He added that “mankind would not forgive†the use of nuclear weapons “against a free and democratic societyâ€ÂÂ.
President Park Geun-hye, South Korea’s newly elected leader, described the situation as “very graveâ€ÂÂ, adding that she would “deal strongly with North Korea’s provocationsâ€ÂÂ.
Daniel Pinkston, from the International Crisis Group in Seoul, said North Korea’s objective was not to start a war but to coerce the US and other countries to back down from the sanctions.
“It’s a game of brinkmanship and they keep ratcheting up the pressure in the hope that the other side will cave in,†he said.
The biggest danger was that fighting could break out by accident as both sides raised their alert level.
“Somewhere along the line, there could be a mistake,†he said.
China joined the US to vote in favour of the UN Resolution 2094, which imposed the latest sanctions on North Korea.
The foreign ministry in Beijing on Friday urged “calm and restraint†from all sides, adding: “The current situation on the peninsula is highly complex and sensitive.â€ÂÂ
China’s patience with North Korea appears to be wearing thin.
Zhang Liangui, a Korea expert at the Central Party School, which trains communist cadres, said the fact that North Korea had chosen to press ahead regardless of Chinese objections and international pressure “shows their internal policy, and their policy to the outside world, is hardeningâ€ÂÂ.

It's all just North Korea's talk and no walk. Dont worry, nothing will happen. Even North Koreans shouldnt be that dumb to get their peninsula sinked

It does kind of surprise me how nobody really gives a fuck about what North Korea says, not even most governments. This seems pretty serious to me.

Red Dawn (2012) Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB9qqWErTs0#ws)
That was actually one of the best movies I've ever seen. It shows quite well what could happen if our defenses fell for a short period of time and a powerful army invaded.

Yeah, true. I think there was also a movie about what would've happened if Germany decided to invade the USA somewhere in WWII. I just remember German soldiers marching infront of the white house, on the cover of the DVD, but I forgot its name. :D
Can't say it was one of the best movies I've ever seen, but it sure was good, Red Dawn.
-
Honestly it's possible that they will just let North Korea attack so they are forced to pay money for the damage caused, like Germany had to do in WW1. Might explain the lack of interest from governments to prevent eventual attacks at the moment.
