North Korea issues unusually specific threat

North Korea's military vowed a new and unusually specific threat to its neighbors, saying it would reduce South Korea "to ashes" in less than four minutes.

The statement, released Monday when programming was interrupted on North Korea's state TV by a special report, comes amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula.

Earlier this month, North Korea was unsuccessful in a long-range missile launch, prompting worries that North Korea may conduct another nuclear test. South Korean officials say new satellite images show that North Korea has been digging a tunnel in what appears to be preparation for a third atomic test.

The North Korean military threatened to "reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes, (or) in much shorter time, by unprecedented peculiar means and methods of our own style."

Guess I shouldn't have bought that extended warranty on my new Hyundai.

1. I hope they don't use a similar rocket to the one that they just tested.. hahaha. n/t

[schmice]

14. Actually, I hope that they do. That will teach them. n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Because they thought we were laughing at their rocket?

[TheWraith]

3. I guess the usual vague threats weren't getting them enough attention.

Yet another round of bullshit from the world leaders in production of temper tantrums.

6. I don't know why this threat was considered unusual.

They have been threatening to turn Seoul in to a "sea of fire" for decades.

[TheWraith]

7. Probably because they added a number. Numbers are always scarier. nt

[HooptieWagon]

4. There had been speculation

they would conduct a nuclear test to save face after their rocket fizzled.

5. If bullshit was music theyd have a brass band. nt

[dipsydoodle]

8. Wouldn't be much point

if the wind blows north.

[eyewall]

9. This is an amazing video, primarily for the marching scenes

In the marching scenes often the soldiers feet are both off the ground at the same time. It's like chorus line synchronization. (the music helps)

[eyewall]

11. I'm not sure why this video fascinates me so much

I guess it's the feeling I have that NK has nothing that is a source of pride as a nation except for their military. The lack of nutrition, education, inspiration. It's a textbook on how to create a purely military state. Military threats or treaties are the only vehicle they have for communicating with the outside world.

15. You Fool Eyewall!

You discovered the top secret North Korean levitation power. And you spoke about it. You too will be reduced to ash in 3 to 4 minutes. It is only by harnessing their incredible Juche mental power that Nork soldiers remain on the ground at all.

17. LOL!

18. that video works much better with "Skip to My Lou" as the song.

"fly in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo, fly in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo, skip to my lou my darling"

[eyewall]

12. wrong thread? :-)

[dipsydoodle]

13. Yes !

Much appreciated. I'll self delete and transfer to where it belongs.

[Posteritatis]

16. More of an unusually hyperbolic threat than an unusually specific one

Granted, that's saying something for North Korea, which all but says they're going to launch South Korea and the US into the sun on a daily basis.
