North Korea: Readying military for combat

North Korea on Tuesday served up its latest round of threats against the United States, saying it plans to place military units on combat ready status to prepare for possible strikes on U.S. bases.

The North Korean Supreme Command "will put our military on number one combat ready status with strategic rocket units and long-range artillery unit to prepare for possible strikes against the U.S. mainland, Hawaii and Guam and other American and South Korean military units in the Pacific," the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported.

    @ s kel, you cannot blame a whole race of people for the actions of one. Im sure there are many in that country that do not believe the same way this clown does.

      Sadly this is not the case. The North Koreans believe that their leaders are divine and are victims to the most effective brainwashing on the planet. This is from their official website: The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a genuine workers' state in which all the people are completely liberated from exploitation and oppression. The workers, peasants, soldiers and intellectuals are the true masters of their destiny and are in a unique position to defend their interests.

    How? is the question@s kel.
    @chrissy's reasonable suggestion would hardly be welcomed by the North.
