North Korea flexes its muscles with nuclear weapons – threatens the US

North Korea is flexing its muscles and, in its latest salvo, it has warned the United States referring it to as “hostile forces”. Pyongyang has warned the US mentioning that its nuke capability can face up to any “reckless hostile policy”.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 15 September 2015.

A high ranking atomic energy official of North Korea has said that the country is improving its nuclear weapons "in quality and quantity." He has also added that in case the US and other hostile forces seek to follow up their reckless hostile policy towards the DPRK they will face trouble. The DPRK is apparently ready to cope with them by using nuclear weapons.
The official has also given the first official confirmation that its nuclear reactor at Yongbyon is operating normally. This reactor is North Korea's main nuke complex and, if re-started, it could produce plutonium required to make one bomb per year.
It may be recalled that Yongbyon's reactor had been shut down in 2007 but North Korea promised to restart it in 2013, when the tension with South Korea ran high after it conducted its third nuclear test.

Nuclear armed North Korea walks out of an event on human rights in the UN

#UnitedNations #NorthKorea #defectors #DPRK It was the presence of around 20 North Korean defectors, in a conference on human rights held at the UN under a US-organized event, that rattled the diplomats of North Korea and they left the venue amid shouts from the defectors.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 1 May 2015.

The U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Samantha Power, made efforts to bring normalcy and quiet the diplomats in the event that featured more than 20 North Korean defectors.
The North Korean diplomats stormed out of the chamber following Ri Song Choi’s statement in protest of the event while the defectors stood their grounds and protested in their faces.
It may be recalled that North Korea has been on the defensive ever since a groundbreaking U.N. commission of inquiry had revealed innumerable cases of human rights abuses in the country. In this connection, NK has always referred to the defectors, who cooperated with the inquiry, as “human scum.”
Incidentally, it was international pressure that had led the U.N. Security Council to place the issue on its agenda of matters of international peace. Samantha Power also requested neighboring countries, especially China, to stop sending North Koreans seeking asylum back into the country because the “true weapons of mass destruction” in North Korea was the tyranny of its government against its citizens.

North Korea says Americans are gangsters, threatens US imperialists with final doom

#northkorea #DPRK #theinterview #cyberwarfare North Korea has warned the United States that it will repel any aggression by the "gangster-like" Americans by using conventional weapons, nuclear strikes and cyber warfare. This threat had been made by the National Defense Commission (NDC) which is North Korea's top military organization. It has also ruled out face-to-face negotiations with Washington.
The headline of the statement is "US imperialists will face final doom" and observers feel it is a sort of reaction to what US president Barack Obama had said last month. At that time, he had described North Korea as the "most cut-off nation on Earth" and also mentioned about the regime's eventual collapse.
The DPRK feels humiliated by the remarks of President Obama and has said that in view of the fact that the gangster-like US imperialists are blaring that they will 'bring down' the DPRK (North Korea) ... the army and people of the DPRK cannot but officially notify the Obama administration ... that the DPRK has neither need nor willingness to sit at negotiating table with the US any longer. This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 4 February 2015.
It has gone on to add that North Korea was capable of bringing about the "final ruin of the US" with its "precision and diversified nuclear striking means". It does have expertise to carry out cyber warfare as was witnessed in the hacking of Sony Pictures movie ‘The Interview’.
The statement of North Korea comes weeks before the beginning of annual US-South Korea military exercises – this annual exercise gives rise to increase in tensions in the divided peninsula.
