North Korea: Kim Jong-un orders nuclear weapons readied for use "at any time"

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/04/north-korea-kim-jong-un-orders-country-to-be-ready-to-use-nuclear-weapons-at-any-time

<< North Korea should be ready to use nuclear weapons "at any time" in the face of a growing threat from its enemies, leader Kim Jong-un has decreed in a further escalation of tensions on the Korean peninsula. Kim's warning, issued via state-controlled media on Friday morning, appeared to be an attempt to put pressure on the international community after the UN security council on Wednesday adopted a raft of new sanctions against the regime in response to its recent nuclear test and rocket launch.

Kim, who was supervising the test-firing of newly developed multiple rocket launchers, said North Korea's situation had become so perilous that it should have the option of launching a "pre-emptive attack" – a departure from previous claims that the North's nuclear capability was purely a deterrent. In an apparent threat to neighbouring South Korea, Kim said the new rocket launchers should be "promptly deployed" along with other new weaponry. He said the regime's enemies – notably the US – were threatening North Korea's survival, the state-controlled KCNA news agency reported.

"At an extreme time when the Americans are urging war and disaster on other countries and people, the only way to defend our sovereignty and right to live is to bolster our nuclear capability", KCNA quoted Kim as saying. "Under the extreme situation that the US imperialist is misusing its military influence and is pressuring other countries and people to start war and catastrophe, the only way for our people to protect sovereignty and rights to live is to strengthen the quality and quantity of nuclear power and realise the balance of power. We must always be ready to fire our nuclear warheads at any time." >>

Even if Kim Jong Un want to destroy the world, he is not capable of doing it. The North Korean ballistic missiles are having limited range, and they are not capable of targeting regions outside the Asia-Pacific region. But still, this is very bad news for South Korea and Japan (and probably for Taiwan and Hawaii as well).

kim jung un is just showing off his nuclear bomb but the truth he cant even attack south korea without getting attack by the UN alliance

jewmerica occupies 2/3 of his country, points nukes at it, trains its troops in mock invasions once a year and kim jong un is portrayed as the aggressor when he threatens to defend his people

Both are aggressors. The fact that United States is pure evil doesn't hide the truth that Kim Jong Un is even worse. He must treat his citizens like human beings. That said, if the DPRK didn't had any of these nukes and ballistic missiles, then the Americans would have implemented their version of the "forced regime change" there.

And so what?
I mean it's a threat ok with that but the five nuclear powers of the world do exactly the same!

the dprk is not an aggressor. every threat it issues is in the context of "if we are attacked we will retaliate" and is always in response to some external provocation. kim jong un has offered disarmament in return for a jewmerican withdrawal and permanent peace treaty but the enemy refuses to negotiate with him as an equal.

Kim Jong-un maybe still dont have enough firepower to threaten USA or any country outside that region but some day he will have it if something dont happen. There is thin or no chance north Koreans will overthrow his dynasty just like that so if other world leaders dont stop that madness there sooner or later it could escalate and become first class disaster.

He’s always been unstable and now he’s made a threatening move. It’s unfortunate, but I believe the world would be better off without him and North Korea.

[aardvark15]

I have doubts about his ability to launch a nuclear weapon.  However, he is crazy and if he does have the ability to do it, I think he would push the button if he got desperate enough.

How the world leaders are going to stop the "madness"? Invading North Korea is out of question, as they are having an active military strength of at least 700,000, in addition to some 3,500,000 reserve forces. Also, invading the DPRK won't be as easy as the past invasions of Iraq and Libya. The Korean People's Army is a much better fighting force, when compared to those in the other third world nations.

He has the ability to launch a nuclear weapon. But he won't be able to target the mainland United States, as the most advanced of the North Korean ballistic missiles (Taepodong-2) are having a range of only around 6,000 km. North Korea might be able to launch a nuclear attack upon Honolulu or Anchorage, but cities such as Portland, Seattle, LA and SF are going to be safe under any scenario.

[galdur]

He´s only a real threat to U.S. vassals in the area which helps keep them obedient. The absolutely last thing the U.S. govt. wants is to destroy that cozy arrangement and so they´ll keep  barking occasionally like they´ve done forever and leave it at that.

[arbitrage]

I don't see why they as nation don't have right to have nuclear weapons,
when we have already many nations armed and ready for nuclear war.
 Al i can say this is US HYPOCRISY! These are well known American double standars.

The bots at Google aren´t so dumb...when I right click and search for that image above they return

Best guess for this image: global mental health

[arbitrage]

I'm not defending Kim Jong-un , but every nation have right to choose how will they live.
What system they will choose and how they will build their future.
Small minority they dont wont to live this way must adopt..This is nature every of system.

Many time have we saw US interfering and bringing democracy to others.



I don't see nothing strange in this picture and with this rocket..This is weapon for self defence.
Only nation that ever used nuclear weapon is US!

Stop using this Tomagotchi for fool the World about necessity of US military bases and presence.
