War tensions continue to rage as North Korea lashes out over the latest UN sanctions imposed on Pyongyang in response to its Hydrogen bomb test on September 3.
President Donald Trump has talked up the possibility of conflict with the hermit nation, while General James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis said Kim Jong-Un faces “total annihilation” if they provoke the US.
But the bolshy tough talk has clearly not spooked the tyrannical regime, after a statement issued by state media today insisted they would never give up developing their nuclear deterrent.
The release claimed the nuclear program was being beefed up as a “self defence” mechanism in response to threats from the US.
State media also claimed the nuclear ‘deterrent’ would help “ensure peace on the Korean Peninsula and the security in the region, and no one can take issue with it.”

The statement said: “The US brigandish theory is that it can let us remain alive if we quit nuclear and obey them, but it can’t tolerate us if we hold fast to nuclear and maintain independence.
“That’s why such theory will never work on us.
“Gone are the days never to return when the US used to pose threats to the DPRK unilaterally with nukes.
“No matter what others may say, as long as the US persists in its hostile policy, the DPRK will continue to take steps to beef up its nuclear force to protect the country’s sovereignty and the nation’s dignity.”
The statement also warned that the US had better acknowledge North Korea as being a “nuclear power worthy of the name”.
The comments come after it was claimed Donald Trump has ordered generals to draw up plans on occupying the rogue nation if war breaks out.
Washington’s military experts have been ordered to prepare for the occupation of North Korea if knife-edge tension over Kim Jong-un’s nuclear arsenal spills over into a deadly conflict.
Generals and advisers at the White House have been “quietly preparing studies on the aftermath of war with North Korea”, it has been claimed.
And experts are being advised to use lessons from armed rebellion during the US occupation of Iraq.
