North Korea threatens ‘pre-emptive’ nuclear strike | The Raw Story“As long as the US seeks to ignite a nuclear war, our revolutionary armed forces will exercise the right to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike,” a foreign ministry spokesman said in a dispatch carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
What about Dennis Rodman??
yes, we could take out rodman, too

looks like that means we must now attack iran
Does N. Korea not realize we could wipe them off the face of the earth?
Sabre rattling, probably mostly for domestic consumption.
Threatening pre-emptive nuclear strikes is escalation past saber rattling in my opinion.
yea but its from north korea so no one takes them seriously
I think that's problematic thinking, honestly. Our country should take all threats, especially pre-emptive nuclear attacks, seriously.
*yawn*
I hope they do it. No doubt it would most likely hit a blue part of the country, which is ok. And then we'd get to use all the cool stuff we've had sitting for decades. We'd become more red and knocking north korea off the map would be good for the economy and a good morale booster.
Bring it on you north korean asshats!
K. What do you propose the US do that it isn't doing now?
A member of this forum stupidly (if flippantly, most likely) threatens the life of the president, and most of us can agree that he's treasonous and could very likely end up being investigated by the FBI; but a country that actually possesses nuclear material officially threatens the United States with nuclear attack and it's yawn-worthy.
Strange times we live in.
And then what? The DPRK has a military fanatically loyal to whatever despot is in office, and in his absence, no doubt a general of the army will step in...unless its a full scale invasion with horrifying body counts, Seoul in ruins and at least one West Coast U.S. city uninhabitable for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, the status quo is going to continue, unless an act of God should occur.I don't say this lightly, but the leadership needs to be taken out, as in assassination. I'm not aware of a greater example on the international scene of a regime as great a threat to other nations as it is to its own people. I'm not saying assassination isn't rife with pitfalls and potentially dangerous precedents, but the world's major powers need to get together and agree that this is something that needs to be done.

No. Besides the fact that it is highly immoral and unethical, assassinating the North Korean leadership would leave a power vacuum that could result in an even more unsavory character grabbing power and access to nuclear weapons. Diplomacy, as always, is the best option.
