The war of words between the dictator and Donald Trump has increased recently after North Korea called Donald Trump “mentally ill” and a “lunatic” in a stream of propaganda delivered to South Korea.
And now a stinging article from state-sponsored rag Rodong Sinmun today has ramped up fears of World War 3 after insisting North Korea would always win in a war against the US.
The comments were made by a spokesman for the General Association of Koreans in China, who said the tyrannical state would never be afraid of the USA.
The article read: “No matter how desperately the US imperialists may try, claiming “sanctions and retaliatory punishment,” the DPRK will never be frightened.
It added: “The DPRK has always won victory in the standoff with the US imperialists.
“The arrogant Trump administration should stop the war provocation moves and hostile policy toward the DPRK.
“If they ignite a war on the Korean peninsula, the whole land of the US would reduce to ashes so that there would be no one left to sign a surrender document.”
The terrifying threat comes as US, South Korean and Japanese officials issued a statement today urging North Korea to “refrain from irresponsible provocations” and walk away from its “destructive and reckless path” of weapons development.
But the Rodong Sinmun article condemned the anti-North korea “war moves” from the US and its allies in the east.
The spokesman said: “The south Korean authorities should reasonably depend on the nation and take the option to improve the inter-Korean relations and achieve peace and reunification of the country.
“The General Association of Koreans in China and all Koreans in China will more vigorously turn out in the patriotic struggle to open up the avenue to independent reunification after driving the US forces out of south Korea at an early date and resolutely smashing the sanctions and war moves of the US imperialists and warlike forces at home and abroad.”
Tensions between the West and the hermit kingdom have been ratcheted up in recent weeks, with the chubby despot and Donald Trump lashing out with personal attacks against their rivals.
North Korea labelled President Trump a “lunatic” and warned the US was at the “door of doom” ahead of his visit to Asia this week.
The hermit state talked tough in its latest statement released by state-run newspaper Minju.
A spokesman said: “Although the South Korean puppet authorities try to frighten the DPRK by resorting to more frantic anti-DPRK pressure campaign with the backing of the US, the army and the people of the DPRK will never be afraid of it.
“They would be well advised to behave themselves, clearly mindful that they cannot escape the most miserable end together with the US, which is at the door of doom.”
While the US announced it was increasing its “nuclear deterrent” as Washington vowed to take a more aggressive military stance on the rogue regime.
Washington plans to stockpile its nuclear arsenal and Mike Pence suggested the US is ditching the disarmament ambitions of the Obama administration.
The vice-president added: “You can be assured that our administration is committed to strengthen and modernise America’s nuclear deterrent.
“History attests the surest path to peace is through American strength.
“There’s no greater element of American strength, there’s no greater force for peace in the world than the United States nuclear arsenal.”
