The four-minute video offers highlights on the history of US-Korean relations and ends with a digitally manipulated sequence showing a missile slamming down in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The US Capitol building explodes in the impact and a message appears on the screen in Korean: “If US imperialists budge an inch toward us, we will immediately hit them with nuclear (weapons).” Temper, temper lil’ Kim
Tensions always escalate on the Korean Peninsula during the annual South-US military exercises, but they have been particularly strident this year. This is due to the UN sanctions that followed a North Korean nuclear test that irked the dear leader.
North Korea has been pushing to acquire a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) capability which would take its nuclear strike threat to a new level, allowing deployment far beyond the Korean peninsula and the potential to retaliate in the event of a nuclear attack.
It has conducted a number of what it says were successful tests of an SLBM, but experts have questioned the claim, suggesting Pyongyang had gone little further than a “pop-up” test from a submerged platform.
This criticism did not sit well with lil’ Kim. Nor did the fact that this was the first year that the South-US military exercises included a strategy to “decapitate” North Korea’s top leadership.
Pyongyang has been ramping up the bellicose rhetoric and propaganda for weeks since these exercises that it views as provocative rehearsals for invasion and a direct threat to Kim Jong-Un.
He responded with increasingly abusive personal attacks on South Korean President Park Geun-Hye. On Thursday, Kim presided over a huge, long-range artillery drill simulating a strike on Park’s office and official residence in Seoul. A statement by the North’s “reconciliation council” referred to Park as “dog-like,” “chicken-like” and a “dirty old woman” who grants sexual favors to the leaders of South Korea’s allies.
Apparently that was not enough, because on Saturday, the artillery section of the Korean People’s Army (KPA) issued an “ultimatum” demanding Park apologize and punish those who formulated the decapitation strategy. They threatened that “if matchless traitor Park Geun-Hye and her group do not respond … the long-range artillery force of the KPA large combined unit on the front will move over to merciless military action,”.
Park hardened her stance with the North in recent months, accusing Kim of leading his country down a path of self-destruction and vowing harsh retaliation to any military provocations.
South Korean activists on Saturday launched three balloons carrying tens of thousands of anti-Pyongyang leaflets that floated across the border into North Korea. One balloon was strung with a large banner printed with a Pyongyang-published picture of Kim Jong-Un smiling against the backdrop of a missile being assembled.
The slogan read “Bring down a firestorm on nuclear maniac Kim Jong-Un,”

I’m trying to be upset but it’s hard.
It would be suicide. He knows it.
Sounds interesting!
wait until all the politicians are in dc before blowing it up.
Evidently none you young people have seen in real life what a H bomb will do . I know that D C needs to be cleaned , there’s a way , quit voting for encumbrance. I’ve seen the aftermath of Japan, never would want to see that here
That actually would help us all if DC was nuked…..
It would take out part of Maryland and Virginia and the surrounding area would be devastated if do you really want something like that. Even jokingly that sick
Maybe they want more aid money !
