North Korea Warns US Of More Nuclear Tests And Missile Launches

BY MARY PASCALINE ON 06/24/16 AT 8:14 AM

North Korea is now a nuclear threat to be reckoned with, the country’s top official for U.S. affairs told the Associated Press Friday.

Han Song Ryol, director-general of the department of U.S. affairs at North Korea's Foreign Ministry, said that Washington can expect more nuclear tests and missile launches, like those earlier this week, if the U.S. continues in its attempts to weaken the North Korean government through its policy of pressure and punishment. This was his first interview with an American news organization since assuming his post three years ago.

“It’s the United States that caused this issue,” he said, “They have to stop their military threats, sanctions and economic pressure. Without doing so, it's like they are telling us to reconcile while they are putting a gun to our forehead.”

On Wednesday, North Korea test-launched two medium-range ballistic missiles. These tests, condemned by Washington, Tokyo and Seoul as a violation of the United Nations resolutions, reportedly show the country’s advances in its missile capabilities.

1. One of two things could happen:

1. N. Korea continues to fire missiles, each one closer and closer to U.S. territories or states to gauge our reaction. And it starts attaching missiles, maybe a nuclear weapon in a twisted game of Chicken. But because of malfunction and/or miscalculation, it hits its target too well. It has caused a nuclear strike on the U.S.

or

2. N. Korea intentionally launches a missile or nuclear weapon at the U.S. simply because its leader is nuts or delusional that this country won't respond. Same damage.
