North Korea declares War on South Korea

Those KCNA reports are always highly entertaining.

Nuclear War to Be Conducted on Korean Peninsula

Pyongyang, March 29 (KCNA) -- A nuclear war has turned out to be an established one on the Korean Peninsula.

Despite the repeated warnings of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the United States, for the first time, made B-2A fly from Whiteman air force base in Missouri State over south Korea on March 28 to launch an exercise of striking ground targets aimed at the DPRK.

Earlier, a formation of U.S. B-52 based in Anderson air-force base on Guam flew to the sky above south Korea and staged nuclear war exercises striking simulated in-depth targets of the DPRK.

Meanwhile, the U.S. deputy secretary of Defense flew to south Korea to finally examine the preparations for a nuclear war against the DPRK and openly said that the U.S. military attaches top priority to the second Korean war, giving green light to a nuclear war.

Accordingly, the commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea and the south Korean military chief drafted a "plan to jointly cope with local provocation". The main point of it is to start a total nuclear war involving the U.S. forces in the U.S. mainland and the Pacific region after the south Korean forces touch off a conflict.

The south Korean warmongers, elated with the backing of the U.S. master, are threatening punishment to "provocation" of the DPRK and even seeking to mount precision missile strikes on the statues of the great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, symbol of the DPRK's dignity.

The U.S. even let the conservative media of south Korea reveal the process of the 2010 operation against Osama bin Laden. It openly said the operational plan of "south Korea-U.S. combined forces" includes targeting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK with the use of lethal striking means and methods of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the south Korean puppet army.

All the developments clearly show that the U.S. and south Korean aggression moves to conquer the DPRK, the strategic vantage, are leading to an outbreak of a nuclear war.

Under the present situation reminiscent of the eve of the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953), the army and the people of the DPRK have turned out for a sacred war of justice for defending the nation's destiny.

Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim Jong Un at 00:30 Friday finally examined and ratified the plan for firepower strike of the KPA strategic rocket forces so that they may strike any time the U.S. mainland and its military bases in Hawaii, Guam and south Korea.

All weapons of the KPA have already aimed at the bases while the Worker-Peasant Red Guards and the Young Red Guards are on standby for action.

It is the steadfast will of the DPRK to react to the U.S. nuclear blackmail with merciless nuclear attacks, and war of aggression with a total war of justice.

The North Korean army is in a pitiful state. They may not even have enough diesel to get their tanks to the DMZ, their fighter pilots have little to no training (let alone the equipment necessary to inflict damage on the enemy) and despite the country's military first policy the soldiers are probably severely malnourished as well. I actually think both the US and South Korean forces could take out the North Korean artillery relatively quickly with Seoul escaping any significant damage. The North Koreans probably know all of this as well so their biggest bargaining chip is to appear as batsh**t crazy as possible, kinda like the deranged teenager who is constantly threatening to slit his wrists.

Another bureaucratic hurdle has been passed:

North Korea declares it has given approval for a nuclear attack on the United States

The North Korean army said it would launch "merciless" military strikes on the United States, involving the possible use of "cutting-edge" nuclear weapons.

In a statement published by the official KCNA news agency, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army said it was formally informing Washington that US threats would be "smashed by... cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means".

"The merciless operation of (our) revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified."

Of course, the Western media proved their usual incompetence and desire to ridicule North Korea and didn't even try to understand what was going on, then peddled their ignorance to a blithely unaware public.

Well, it's not like some of the other stories about KJI being born on Mt. Paektu and his birth being heralded by a rainbow are more credible.

All of this is based on the assumption anyway that the NoKoreans are able to launch missiles that won't be picked off by defense systems beforehand. Most NK missiles are lucky to even get off the ground, let alone travel halfway around the world to accurately deliver a nuke.

My guess is that the US, as well as Japan and South Korea could potentially shoot down missiles but have refrained from doing so in the past in order to not ratchet up the tension.
