North Korea says it's ready for war
Wouldn't it just be easier to let the country starve to death? After all, isn't that what the North Korean government is doing to it's people anyway?
North Korea fueled tensions by test-firing a missile into the sea off its east coast.Anticipating a second test, Japanese Deputy Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe said today that Pyongyang may fire its long-range Taepodong ballistic missile toward the sea between Japan and the Korean Peninsula, Kyodo news agency reported.
The North's official news agency also accused Washington of planning massive war games to prepare for an invasion, and said the country is "fully ready to repel the U.S. military attack."
North Korea will take "a self-defensive measure when it thinks that the U.S. pre-emptive attack is eminent," the agency KCNA said, without elaborating.
KCNA -- the reclusive Stalinist regime's bulletin board for the outside world -- claimed an American RC-135 reconnaissance plane had intruded into North Korean airspace over its east coast almost daily since Feb. 21.
The U.S. military does not comment on such reports, said Stephen Oertwig, a U.S. military spokesman in Seoul. But North Korea's east coast is dotted with guns and missile bases that U.S. intelligence officials believe can launch ballistic missiles.
Now here's a question for y'all: if a nuclear weapon detonated in North Korea, and no one was there to hear it, would it make a sound?
