North Korea’s Kim threatens to use nukes amid tensions with US, South Korea

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un warned his country is ready to use nuclear weapons against the United States and South Korea in the event a military conflict emerges with the countries.

State media reported Kim’s fiery speech Wednesday as he made threats against both countries while speaking to war veterans on the 69th anniversary of the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. The remarks come as Kim looks to push unity in a country that has been hit with damaging pandemic-related economic losses.

“Our armed forces are completely prepared to respond to any crisis, and our country’s nuclear war deterrent is also ready to mobilize its absolute power dutifully, exactly and swiftly in accordance with its mission,” Kim said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.

He lashed out at the US for “demonizing” North Korea and claimed US-South Korea military drills show America’s “double standards” and “gangster-like” aspects since it accuses North Korea of provocation when Kim orders routine military activities, an apparent reference to its missile tests.

With sane people running the US government, I'd expect any nuclear attack by North Korea would result in that country quickly disappearing from the map.

But with the current bunch, one "nuke from the Norks", and we'd probably surrender...
