North Korea said on Tuesday its military would be put on high alert and be ready to launch operations, stepping up tension after weeks of rhetoric directed against the United States and South Korea, who it accuses of instigating hostility.
Reclusive North Korea has often issued threats to attack the South and the United States but has rarely turned them into action. Such hostile rhetoric is widely seen as a means to perpetuate its domestic and international political agenda.
In the latest outburst, a spokesman for the North's military warned the United States of "disastrous consequences" for moving a group of ships, including an aircraft carrier, into a South Korean port.
"In this connection, the units of all services and army corps level of the KPA received an emergency order from its supreme command to reexamine the operation plans already ratified by it and keep themselves fully ready to promptly launch operations any time," the spokesman said, referring to the Korean People's Army (KPA).
"The U.S. will be wholly accountable for the unexpected horrible disaster to be met by its imperialist aggression forces' nuclear strike means," the spokesman said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.

I think this type of action by NK is the same as the USA War on Drugs or War of Terror and just used to manipulate the masses, create fear, demonize someone to create a common focus by the people. If it works in the USA, it will work in North Korea.
except if you posted the same claim in NK they would shoot you. Here we just laugh at the post
Please post your link to prove that.
what a stupid retort. NK is a communist dictatorship, Do you think news of what happens to dissidents is well publicized there? I find it funny that you try to claim we are like NK
I interpret that as NO LINK. BS, just as I thought.
That's one of the lamer attempts to deny the obvious
Here, read it and weep

In post-Stalin East Europe, expressing a moderately dissenting thought could put a career at risk; in North Korea even an innocuous joke can bring long-term imprisonment of both culprit and his or her entire family.
Zero tolerance for any dissent is combined with unprecedented information isolation. North Korea is probably the only country in the world where it is a crime to own a radio with unrestricted tuning.
demanding links for the obvious is a sign of weak understanding
Like I said, Bullcrap! Nothing in that link about shooting writers for expressing opinions. Nitey, nite.
That is horrible..Laos did such a terrible thing to those young people..They will be put in labor camps where they will suffer and die..
We should send our lead negotiator over there.
