North Korea vows response to 'reckless' US Navy move

Seoul (AFP) - North Korea denounced Washington's deployment of a naval strike group to the Korean peninsula Tuesday, warning it was ready for "war" in a further escalation of tensions.
The Carl Vinson strike group cancelled a planned trip to Australia this weekend to head to the region, in a show of force as Washington signalled it may act to shut down Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities.
"This goes to prove that the US reckless moves for invading the DPRK have reached a serious phase," a spokesman for the North's foreign ministry said according to state news agency KCNA.
"The DPRK is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the US," he said, using the country's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
President Donald Trump, fresh from ordering a missile strike on Syria that was widely interpreted as a warning to North Korea, has asked his advisors for a range of options to rein in Pyongyang, a top US official said Sunday.
Trump has previously threatened unilateral action against Pyongyang if China -- the North's sole major ally -- fails to help curb its neighbour's nuclear weapons ambitions.
But Pyongyang's response suggested the reclusive state is determined to continue on its current path, despite repeated rounds of United Nations sanctions.
"We will take the toughest counteraction against the provocateurs in order to defend ourselves by powerful force of arms," the foreign ministry spokesman said.

1. That fake U.S. president needs to be thrown out on his ear.

What a fucking mess he's making of the world.

[greenlife1]

10. This

Just because this was scheduled before he became our ruler doesn't mean that he couldn't stop it.

[C Moon]

12. I'm not only referring to Korea, but the fact that he has everyone on edge...

because he such a lying sack of crap, self-centered, spoiled rich man.

2. Bannon wants a war so bad

deliberately trying to provoke North Korea.

America hasn't fought anyone outside the Middle East in a while.

3. I dont think N Korea is that stupid as alot of the stuff they do is to try and make themselves look

powerful to average N Korean because I suspect after what they have done to the people in that country the leadership is afraid of what might happen to them if the people think they are weak.
In a way its kind of the same for Trump and the whole Syria airfield attack but warning them via Russia that it would happen beforehand so it really didnt hurt them but it looked good to the Trump supporters.

6. North Korea doesn't have much else

they don't have much industry or a diversified economy. Military is what they do.

As brutal and awful as a war would be, it would be good to see their government fall and have a unification of Korea. It would be much more radical than Germany reuniting. The people in the north would not believe what life is like on the outside.

7. The leader of this nation executes relatives with anti-aircraft guns.

Two attention whore megalomaniacs going head to head what can go wrong?

17. funny

5. I've always made fun of those

"family emergency plan" PSA commercials. Not any more. This is the shit that could get us killed.

8. So now Trump gets his "Make My Day" moment.

No stronger political tool for an American President than a little dirty war.

9. Fixed it for ya

President Donald Trump, fresh from playing 18 rounds of golf at his club, has demanded his advisors agree to his plans to rein in Pyongyang, a top US official said Sunday.

14. Maybe they are there to curb the inflow of refugees and provide aid?

It actually says that in the article.

We can only hope.

[iluvtennis]

13. With two non-thinking idiots (Dumpty and Kim Jong Un) making the decisions, this could be a disaster

[anglesphere]

18. What could go wrong?

[FDRsGhost]

15. I'm waiting for the evacuation of Seoul to begin

Honestly, militarily wise, N Korea would be a turkey shoot, their technology is more ancient than Iraq's was. Still, this isn't a war any of us want and Trump is great at one thing; destabilizing the entire damn world.

Knowing Trump, I wouldn't be shocked if his goal was to reunify Korea and have it be part of his so called legacy & achieving that with war.

16. We could just buy North Korea

for less than those ships cost.
