After threatening the United States and South Korea with nuclear strikes, North Korea almost forgot its other favorite target: Japan. That oversight has been amended now, though, as the Korean Central Report Bureau alerted that Tokyo will be its first goal if Japan holds up its "hostile posture" toward Pyongyang, Yonhap News reported. "Japan is always in the cross-hairs of our revolutionary armed detachment and if Japan makes a slightest move, the spark of conflict will feel Japan first," wrote the KCNA.
North Korea alerted Japan not to try shooting down any check missiles it might launch. Any annoyance" by Japan would end with Tokyo "consumed in nuclear flames," alerted the KCNA. Secretary of State John Kerry, in Seoul today, reiterated that any missile launch by North Korea would be a "huge mistake". reports Yonhap News. Kerry now heads to Beijing to advocate they do more to control Pyongyang. "There is no assembly of leaders on the planet who have more capacity to make a distinction in this than the Chinese," said Kerry.
Rico says there was that old Winston Churchill line: If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.
