SEOUL — North Korea dramatically escalated its warlike rhetoric on Thursday, warning that it had authorised plans for nuclear strikes on targets in the United States.

“The moment of explosion is approaching fast,” the North Korean military said, warning that war could break out “today or tomorrow”.

Pyongyang’s latest pronouncement came as Washington scrambled to reinforce its Pacific missile defences, preparing to send ground-based interceptors to Guam and dispatching two Aegis class destroyers to the region.

Tension was also high on the North’s heavily-fortified border with South Korea, after Kim Jong-Un’s isolated regime barred South Koreans from entering a Seoul-funded joint industrial park on its side of the frontier.

In a statement published by the state KCNA news agency, the Korean People’s Army general staff warned Washington that US threats would be “smashed by… cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means”.

More NORK propaganda.

Posted on by

The North Koreans are working three shifts making threat videos, presumably to leverage fear against a hand out of food for them. This may be a prelude to a real war, but the white house claims there is actually no real mobilization of troops or deployment of new weapons or anything so it looks like an in-house strength-play to show the people the new fat-kid is really in charge. At least according to Obama.

In any case I find this video more entertaining as well as more accurate if you open this video in another tab and listen to this sound track while you watch the video below.

North Korea has also started a “Patriotic Rice” drive, asking the slave labour starving people of NORK to take what little food the state did give them, and give it back to the state.

For a people who hate America so much they sure do like basketball. Here is a game between the starving men of South by south east north Korea and West by nor-west North Korea in a struggle that will probably mean one team gets to eat the other starve, the MVP gets given a decent looking wife to abuse and the no score guy gets a public execution.

Don’t believe me? Watch the documentary Camp 14 Total Control Zone on Netflix.

Youtube video above appears to have been removed. It is now below. 🙂

In the one below, I can’t help but think it would make a better soup advert than a scary military video. Maybe it’s cause I can’t read the signs. But the font and style reminds me a lot of some pretty excellent soup packages made on the other side of the Korean peninsula.

In the video below, the commander shows how they are making ready to deal with an American bomber from 1942

The song below reminds me quite a bit of Stalin era Soviet material.

North Korea stages massive rally for the usual jingoistic reasons

I would like to make fun of this one as I did the previous few where it seems as if the North Koreans in ‘man on the street’ interviews were competing with religious Muslims for the worlds-worst poetry. But this one seems to have a sort of dark, Lord of the Rings Orcishness to it which seems more like it heralds a great deal of dead people rather than brainwashed zombies forced to say bad things about everywhere else in the world.

Which I think to them is limited to South Korea and the USA. Which I suspect they think is directly attached to South Korea.

Guardian story on this display here.

I still can’t help but wonder if this is part of a joint plan with Iran to divide US resources and a new 2 front war.

Seriously, is this a joke?

The thing about North Korea and Islam is that so much of it is so over the top you often can’t tell if it’s a joke or not.

Pyongyang, March 27 (KCNA) — The scheme of the U.S. and south Korean military to make precision missile strikes at the statues of the great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il has lashed into fury the young people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, including the officials of the C.C., the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League.-0-

North Korea puts rockets on standby to attack US bases

Posted on by

One has to wonder if NORK isn’t planning to create an expensive front to create opportunity for Iran.

Telegraph:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un last night ordered the country’s rocket units to be on standby to attack US military targets in response to Washington’s announcement that it had flown B2 stealth bomber “deterrence” missions over South Korea.

The North’s official KCNA news agency, the mouthpiece of the Stalinist regime, said Kim signed off on the orders at a midnight meeting of top generals and “judged the time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists in view of the prevailing situation.”

“He finally signed the plan on technical preparations of strategic rockets of the KPA, ordering them to be standby for fire so that they may strike any time the US mainland, its military bases in the operational theaters in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea.”

The escalation came hours after Pyongyang claimed that the nation was “burning with hatred” for the US after its show of force in the region.

North Korea Threats White House

North Korea has threatened a rocket strike on Guam, Hawaii and the US mainland, its state news agency has reported.

The country has put their military on combat ‘ready’ status, according to the Korean Central News Agency, KCNA, who stated: “The Korea People’s Army top command declares that all artillery troops including strategic rocket units and long-range artillery units are to be placed under class-A combat readiness.”

Guam is an American island off the Philippines where the US keep a number of military bases.

History shows North Korean pattern: wait, then attack

Seoul: Recent Korean history reveals a sobering possibility: It may only be a matter of time before North Korea launches a sudden, deadly attack on the South. And perhaps more unsettling, Seoul has vowed that this time, it will respond with an even stronger blow.

Humiliated by past attacks, South Korea has promised – as recently as Tuesday – to hit back hard at the next assault from the North, opening up the prospect that a skirmish could turn into a wider war.

Lost in the headline-making North Korean bluster about nuclear strikes on Washington in response to U.N. sanctions is a single sentence in a North Korean army Supreme Command statement of March 5. It said North Korea “will make a strike of justice at any target anytime as it pleases without limit.”

North Korea enters capitalist world of comedy television

Posted on by

I have to say, North Korea does things well when it decides to. It appears that the new well-fed dictator of North Korea has decided to compete with Saturday Night Live, the Carol Burnett show, Second City and other great sketch comedy programs with its first episode of what must be its first comedy release which I predict will be a big hit across the Korean peninsula and around the Yellow Sea.

Well done North Korea! I can’t wait to see next week’s episode. Here is hoping my ribs stop aching in time to bruise them again laughing at the next installment.

The North Korean style of documentary making seems to be showing a colonoscopy of a super-model and claiming she looks like snake full of intestinal fluid. Makes one wonder if they did a video workshop with Michael Moore.

Meanwhile, here is a rather more factual documentary about the DPRK I hope you al enjoy as much as I did.

Hamas Threatens US with War

Center for Security Policy:

The Palestinian jihadist terrorist organization Hamas has threatened to declare war on the US should President Barack Obama visits the Temple Mount during his trip to Israel:

Hamas is warning that if President Obama visits the Temple Mount it would be a “declaration of war” against the Islamic world.

Israel National News reports the terror group made the threat during a protest march at the religious site following riots on Friday.

Mushir al-Masri, a Hamas spokesman, called for a third intifada if Obama visits the contested religious site in Jerusalem’s Old City between Israelis and Muslims.

There are a few aspects of this threat worth noting:

  1. Obama wasn’t ever going to visit the Temple Mount anyway, so this is HAMAS trying to get a propaganda victory in the Islamic world by claiming that their warning kept him away. It’s not often that a US president gets used in such a way.

The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups threatened on Friday that a visit by U.S. President Barack Obama to the Temple Mount during his upcoming visit to Israel will be a declaration of war on the Arab and the Islamic world.

A Hamas representative in the Al-Aqsa mosque, Mushir al-Masri, even called for a third intifada (uprising) and for Egyptian assistance in the “resistance” if Obama chooses to visit the Temple Mount.

According to the Bethlehem-based Ma’an news agency, the Gaza-based terrorist organizations made the threats during a protest march on Friday over the riots that broke out earlier in the day on the Temple Mount.

According to the report, Khalid al-Batash, a senior Islamic Jihad member, also called to prevent Obama from visiting the compound.

China’s expansionism echoes history

Posted on by

This article is behind a pay wall, but you get the gist from the paragraph or two that is public.

The Australian:

IN recent months five uninhabited islands east of Taiwan and southwest of Japan have become a new global flashpoint. The Chinese now claim these islands – called the Diaoyu in China, the Diaoyutai in Taiwan and the Senkaku in Japan – and have repeatedly threatened Japanese control with military overflights and naval activity, including the provocative locking of weapons control radar on to a Japanese ship.

These East China Sea activities follow increased Chinese actions and threats in the South China Sea. China argues such coercion is appropriate since all such locations belong to China, but history shows these Chinese territorial claims lack substance.

Two Russian nuclear-armed bombers circled the western Pacific island of Guam this week in the latest sign of Moscow’s growing strategic assertiveness toward the United States.

The Russian Tu-95 Bear-H strategic bombers were equipped with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles and were followed by U.S. jets as they circumnavigated Guam on Feb. 12 local time—hours before President Barack Obama’s state of the union address.

Air Force Capt. Kim Bender, a spokeswoman for the Pacific Air Force in Hawaii, confirmed the incident to the Washington Free Beacon and said Air Force F-15 jets based on Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, “scrambled and responded to the aircraft.”

“The Tu-95s were intercepted and left the area in a northbound direction. No further actions occurred,” she said. Bender said no other details would be released “for operational security reasons.”

Iran unveils homegrown Qaher F-313 “stealth” fighter

I could swear I had one of these as a kid. Was made by this sort of machine that melted plastic into shapes. I doubt that toy would be legal today come to think of it. But then I doubt this aircraft exists as advertised also.

Iran's domestically designed and built Qaher F-313 (Dominant F-313) combat aircraft

Iran’s domestically designed and built Qaher F-313 (Dominant F-313) combat aircraft

Iranian State TV on Saturday showed an unveiling ceremony for what the Iran Defense Ministry claims is a new Iranian designed and built combat aircraft. Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said the single-seat Qaher F-313 (Dominant F-313) can operate at low altitudes and was constructed from “advanced materials” that contribute to the aircraft’s “very low radar cross section.”

Iran’s state-owned English language Press TV says that although the aircraft resembles the F-5E/F Tiger II, it is said to be similar to the F/A-18. It follows in the footsteps (or flightpath) of Iran’s first domestically manufactured combat jet fighter, the HESA Azarakhsh (Lightning) and its follow up, the HESA Saeqeh (Thunderbolt).
