[QUOTE]ust a day after concluding talks in Beijing with an American envoy, North Korea is airing bellicose rhetoric about upcoming U.S.-South Korean joint war games.
North Korea is vowing a "sacred war" in response to annual joint military exercises South Korean and U.S. forces are to begin staging Monday.
The announcer, reading a statement of the National Defense Commission, says the joint maneuvers by the United States and South Korea, are, in essence, a “silent declaration of war” and will prompt a “corresponding physical retaliation” by the North.
Just hours later, there was no mention of the fresh threats at a joint news conference in Seoul by U.S. and South Korean diplomats.
U.S. envoy Glyn Davies briefed a South Korean diplomat on his talks held Thursday and Friday in Beijing with North Korean officials. The discussions were the first since North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Il, died in December and he was succeeded by his third son, Kim Jong Un.
Davies told reporters the two days of discussions in the Chinese capital were serious, in-depth and covered a wide range of issues but another round is not planned.
"We will see where we go from here but it was a good beginning with the new government in the DPRK [North Korea]," said Davies.
The diplomacy is aimed at getting Pyongyang to fulfill its previous commitments to halt its nuclear programs.
China has been pushing for a resumption of long-stalled six-nation talks on the North Korean nuclear issue.
Lim Sung-nam, the South Korean diplomat, who would head his country's delegation if those negotiations resume, says he remains optimistic about the possibility of further dialog.
Lim, speaking to reporters, says while no talks have been set between Seoul and Pyongyang for this year, he is hopeful there can be another round.
The two Koreas met twice last year. There were hopes the discussions could lead to a warming of ties on the peninsula at a time when tensions had soared to their highest level in years.
North Korea has conducted two nuclear tests. It is also blamed for two lethal attacks in 2010 - the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel and the shelling of a frontier island near disputed waters in the Yellow Sea.

Scary words. We better not make them mad. :(
If a republican wins, i say we welcome our new north korean best leaders.
do it, see if i care
They keep forgetting that America is part of the NATO Alliance. Which means, if they declare war on America the entirety of NATO is obligated to step in and fuck their shit up.
They say this.
The drills happen anyway.
And nothing happens.

Well maybe if you didn't constantly threaten to use your military to kill people everyone would get along with you better.

[quote] The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea estimates that North Korea holds approximately 200,000 people in its system of concentration and detention camps, and that 400,000 people have died in these camps from torture, starvation, disease, and execution.
...
These reports, in the context of estimates that North Korea has allowed between 600,000 and 2,500,000 of its people to starve to death while its government squandered the nation’s resources on weapons and luxuries for its ruling elite, suggest that North Korea’s oppression and politically targeted starvation of its people collectively constitute the world’s greatest ongoing atrocity, and almost certainly the most catastrophic anywhere on earth since the end of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979.

For a country in which it's ideals forbid religious activity I'd say the term holy is blissfully ironic.

Might be a bad translation; it seems rather out of line with everything NK has said in the past in terms of how they formulate their messages.
Think about it: they could have originally said something along the lines of "it is the korean people's foremost duty to fight the USA" or something similar, and somewhere along the line "foremost duty" became "sacred." Kind of how in Arabic, "jihad" means struggle, but most Westerners take it to mean violent attacks.

Haven't they said this a million times before about these exercises, the only actual response being that shelling that happened a year or two back?

And after said shelling, America/SK promised war if any more violence was invoked on South Korea or her people... Either way, no one wants a damned conflict in the region. It'll end with serious collateral damage with countries whom wouldn't be really involved in the first place.[Japan/China to name the big boys]
North Korea doesn't seem to realise that if they try to declare war, NATO will come down on their asses, and hard. They're the kid yelling about how he's so much better than everyone else, and the only reason he hasn't been beaten up is because everyone thinks it's not worth it.

No they do realize. That's why NK still exists.
[I]Sure[/I] you do, Kimmy, sure...
Oh North Korea, when will you realize that no one gives a shit about your threats anymore?
I never affiliated NK with "Holy war".
But this won't go anywhere, like always.
Its gonna be a Hory War

A major part of north korean culture is the Juche-ideology.
Basically it contains that the North Koreans are good, everyone else is bad and the great leader is the best of the North Koreans.
I believe this is what they're referencing.

Not a big surprise that they're not killing everything on sight.

Oh shit I forgot about them...
Let's hope they won't take this seriously.
It says 'sacred' not 'holy' war in the article. The DPRK makes these claims all the time, they won't do shit. Another thing, an invasion of the DPRK is a fucking terrible idea that wouldn't work well at all. Here, take a Soviet song.

Sacred and holy are the same word in a lot of languages.
Looks like Kim Jong-Un is going to be glorious
