North Korea has threatened a preemptive strike against the United States, which Pyongyang believes intends to launch a nuclear war by transferring its “strategic means” to the Korean Peninsula. This was reported by the Korean Central Telegraphic Agency (KCTAK).
The dispatch of a US B-52 strategic bomber to the southern Korean Peninsula, which landed a fifth-generation F-22 Raptor fighter jet in South Korea for the first time, as well as plans to hold joint exercises for the first time between the air forces of the US, South Korea and Japan “are deliberate plots to unleash a nuclear war by the US, caught in a tangle internally and externally,” the Korean Central Telegraphic Agency reported.
“Although the US considers violence as a means of solving [problems] and is trying to seek a way out to revive [its influence] on the Korean Peninsula, its attempts cannot be carried out,” the agency wrote.
At the same time, according to the publication, Washington is “spinning the flywheel of nuclear war” by moving “all nuclear strategic means, so-called nuclear aircraft carriers, nuclear subs and strategic bombers” to the region in order to “appease South Korean puppets.”
Pyongyang regards these actions as “military actions having the nature of a nuclear preventive attack aimed at physically eliminating” the DPRK, the CTAC clarifies.
“The US is aware that the Korean Peninsula is legally in a state of war, and strategic assets moved into the enemy zone become the first target for destruction. That page of history when the right of pre-emptive strike remained the ‘monopoly property’ of the US has been turned. Since the US and the gangsters of the Republic of Korea have challenged our republic to nuclear war, there will be our response,” underlines the CTAC and recalls that the DPRK has “legislated a policy on nuclear armed forces, authorising the necessary steps” in case it is decided that the state is “completely offensive” with the use of nuclear weapons.
In this regard, Pyongyang recommended the US “as soon as possible to understand” that the more often they miscalculate, the closer “dangerous moment for the American continent”.
We will remind, earlier the coordinator of the National Security Council for strategic communications of the United States John Kirby said at a briefing that Washington will not be able to indefinitely provide assistance to the Kiev regime. Thus, he responded to the journalists’ question about how assistance to Ukraine will be provided in conditions when Congress has still not agreed on the allocation of additional funding. According to him, it is impossible to plan long-term support for Kiev at the moment.
