United States ‘ready’ to stand up to North Korean n-threat

Set for 3:30 p.m.at the Kim il-Sung Stadium, the Azkals are hoping to get back on the winning track against the host side after losing in their previous game versus Uzbekistan, 5-1, on September 8.

“We are absolutely unified and in solidarity with regard to challenges posed by North Korea”, US Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken said.

“It sounds paradoxical, and yet it is quite logical: An important element is that North Korea’s political system works on the fact that we don’t have reliable knowledge about it, and that we have to rely on rumors and speculations”, said Frank.

Park had promised to retaliate forcefully to North Korean aggression.

South Korea’s defence ministry said military hardware to be used in Saturday’s parade – including armoured vehicles and mobile rocket launchers – were being gathered at an airfield just outside Pyongyang as early as July. “Those Western governments like to put ugly labels on North Korea”.

A top USA military commander has said he believes North Korea is capable of firing a nuclear missile that can reach the continental United States, but the country’s ready to defend against such attacks.

On Friday, Pyongyang’s state media outlet KCNA reported an award ceremony was held at Mansudae Assembly Hall, and the award was delivered by an Indonesian delegate who is in Pyongyang for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Korean Workers’ Party. “Nuclear warheads with an explosive power ten times greater than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima will be flying across the Pacific Ocean”.

Last month, its space agency said it was building a new satellite and readying it for launch, adding that any rocket launches are part of a legitimate space program aimed at putting satellites into orbit.

Without China’s continued assistance in food and fuel and in trade, North Korea’s economic situation would be dire and Kim Jong Un’s regime would be in real jeopardy.

The young North Korean leader has surprised the world with military actions on many occasions.

Liu is the first Politburo Standing Committee (PBSC) member to visit North Korea since Kim Jong-un assumed control of the country in 2011.
