North Korean threat?

This article on “AmericaBlog” talks about the escalation in tension for a nuclear attack between North Korea and the U.S. The author gives more of a continued glimpsed towards the topic, than actual research other than a quote. A quote that the author states may or may not had been made with official sanction.

“Since the United states is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest,” the North’s foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.

The author cleans up the article by the possible doubts that North Korea has the ability to launch such an attack. As well points out that this tension has been flowing around for about 4 years now between the North Korea , Iran and the U.S. At the end the author throws in a personal metaphor swapped in grade school from a teacher about the U.S being distracted in its domestic problems while foreign dangers stir.

Whether the quote is official or not, the tension for a nuclear attack is present. A nuclear threat should not be simply brushed off the shoulder without taking precautions
