Our future is in the hands of these two dumb demagogues

North Korean ambassador: “We now have the hydrogen bomb. If a war breaks out, we are ready to fight and we will surely win the war against the United States.”
They actually believe this stuff which is scary.

Yes it’s total propaganda for sure.
What are the real goals of the NK regime? 
Regime survival first and foremost of course, but ultimately something many people don’t realise:
“The unwavering goal of the three generations of North Korean leaders has been and remains persuading the Americans to sign a peace treaty and remove both troops and weapons from South Korea. Only after that happens, at some future time when Washington is otherwise occupied and prevented from responding quickly, can the North move ahead with Southern conquest.” – Bradley K Martin, former North Korea correspondent for Bloomberg

When was the last time anyone attacked the United States mainland? In reality, does North Korea have the ability to wage war on anyone apart from South Korea? 
I do wish Donald Trump would stop the childish rhetoric – it is not fitting for the office he holds.

Kim talks about the USA as an evil empire and yet if war breaks out he will try to destroy every nation near him first and then no doubt die like the idiot he is. I don’t want to see nuclear war but it’s looking like it’s headed that way.

Nuclear war would be devastating to not just to Asia but to world trade and financial markets. If the sh*t hits the fan life as all of us know it will be changed permanently. It is truly scary that two crazies are the ones that will determine our collective future.

“During the Korean War [1950-53], we beat the United States although we only had ordinary weapons. Now we have the hydrogen bomb, there is no doubt that we will beat the United States if they threaten us with war,” the ambassador said.
His most excellent excellency has possibly forgotten the well trained Chinese “volunteers” who stopped UN from taking the entire country. Perhaps history is not his strong suit.

North Korea has a lot more problems than just the US. Media report a recent case of a N Korean soldier successfully escaping across the border. He was treated for gunshot wounds at a S Korean hospital where they also they found he was full of parasitic worms.
Apparently a large portion of the population suffer the same way, not counting malnutrition. Because of embargoes they cannot get fertiliser for their crops so they use human excrement. This naturally spreads all sorts of diseases, including these worms.

The whole issue centres on the wish of the Kim clan to hold on to power. For that reason alone those mad idiots will, if necessary, destroy anything in their reach. Including their own population.

The media is just reporting what the NK envoy said.  So, yes, NK is hyping it up to help contain the masses and give them a bogeyman.  As they’ve been doing for years.
