SEOUL — North Korea warned Saturday that it will respond with "powerful nuclear deterrence" to joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises poised to begin this weekend, saying the drills amount to a provocation that cannot be ignored.
North Korea routinely threatens war when South Korea and the U.S. hold joint military drills, which Pyongyang sees as a rehearsal for an attack on the North. The latest threat comes amid increased tensions on the peninsula over the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship that Seoul and Washington blame on Pyongyang.
The allies' defense chiefs announced earlier in the week they would stage the drills to send a clear message to North Korea to stop its "aggressive" behavior. Forty-six South Korean sailors were killed in the March sinking of the Cheonan, considered the worst military attack on the South since the 1950-53 Korean War.
North Korea vehemently denies any involvement and says any punishment would trigger war.
On Saturday, North Korea's powerful National Defense Commission — headed by leader Kim Jong Il — backed that threat up by promising a "retaliatory sacred war" against South Korea and the U.S. for what it called a second "unpardonable" provocation after wrongly accusing the North in the Cheonan incident.
"The army and people of the (North) will legitimately counter with their powerful nuclear deterrence the largest-ever nuclear war exercises," the commission said in a statement carried by the country's official Korean Central News Agency.
A day earlier in Hanoi, a North Korean spokesman for the delegation attending a regional security conference warned the drills would draw a "physical response" from Pyongyang.

A part of me hopes they do actually nuke so I can say that I've had a nuke go off in my lifetime and so that Korea finally stops being split into two so it can grow - another part of me thinks that this isn't going to happen and its a bluff.
A part of me thinks if North Korea tries anything.
They're gonna get glassed.
My face when I'll be able to purchase some of that glass and carve it into a glass :pcgaming:

North Korea detonated a nuke underground awhile ago.
By nuke I mean they actually send it at a country other than their own.
and the world turns on

So, you're saying that you wish for a nuke to go off in a populated country, so that you can tell your grandkids: "When I was a youngin', there was a country called North Korea and they threw a really really big bomb at someone else."
You're sick.

No need to call him an asshole, asshole.
What if North Korea didn't sink the ship?
I mean, what if someone was intentionally trying to start a war because they knew no one would believe North Korea's innocence. I'm just saying, it's a possibility.
Anyone here ever play Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory?
They threaten the US all the time

you been playing way TOO much splinter cell
haha this is good news. I want to watch north Korea get fucking leveled by the US and all our allies. North Korea is a fucking bitch of a country, Kim is on crack or is semi retarded. If NK ever tried to send a nuke towards the US I am pretty sure we could shoot it out of the sky with ease anyhow..

I have seen a documentary on NK, it's not going to be easy taking it out without bombs, at least it will very VERY slow, then instantly pick up in speed and they're going to become more and more defenseless. They have spent all their money on military, but its still very crappy, but many lives will be lost.
By Saturday they mean today right?
North Korea is the laughing stock of the Pacific. If one was to truly make things right in North Korea, Kim would have to be assassinated. I know it sounds wrong, but seriously, fuck North Korea, and fuck the way they treat their people.
Hopefully when this is all over we'll have a much more civil, much more democratic United Korea. Either that or South Korea'll be isolated from the continent by either a nuclear wasteland that was once North Korea, or an irradiated "sea" that was once North Korea.
Didn't they pay a load of Chinese actors to go to the World Cup to support their team?

Actually, I wish that it actually does happen!
I am fucking sick of all the fucking NK news and SK news.. Get it over with already!
In the long run, it will benefit the world.

How does mass genocide in any way 'benefit the world' ?

NK and SK can not be united within the next 100 years at least.
The North is absolute wasteland, their citizens are used to being oppressed and follow orders instead if thinking themselves.
South Korea is just a regular modern industrialized country. How would you possibly unite those.
The only thing you would be able to do is give NK a new government.
