The North Korean leader accused Mr Obama of “crossing the red line”
after introducing trade sanctions last week, and promised the “toughest
countermeasures” in response. Obama in uncharacteristic fashion has
deployed supersonic strike bombers to bases near North Korea – daring
Kim Jong-Un to attack first.
Around 300 US airmen have also been deployed alongside the B-1B
Lancer bombers to Guam, a US territory in the Pacific Ocean within
striking range of the North Korea’s capital of Pyongyang.
A spokesman for the US Airforce said: “The B-1 units bring a unique
perspective and years of repeated combat and operational experience
from the Central Command theatre to the Pacific.
“They will provide a significant rapid global strike capability
that enables our readiness and commitment to deterrence, offers
assurance to our allies, and strengthens regional security and stability
in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.”
Along with declaring war on the US, North Korea also recently threatened to reduce Japan “to debris in a moment”.
Most bizarrely, however, has been the dictator’s order for border
guards to kill snakes – amid ‘fears’ the snakes are spies working for
his enemies.
A source from within Pyongyang revealed: “From early this month,
border patrol units received orders to capture snakes before they crawl
over the banks of Amnok River.
“The key message from the Party was that the South’s National
Intelligence Service had released snakes as part of a ‘cunning scheme’
to challenge our unity.
“Under orders to capture the snakes before they reach land and
hatch eggs, soldiers have no choice but to wade into the river to do so,
naturally leading to complaints.
“Some grumble among themselves about the nature of the state’s
claims, justifiably pointing out that not even a three-year-old would
believe that the South would attack us with snakes over propaganda
leaflets or CDs.”
