North Korea threatens Australia with nuclear attack

[Böri]

North Korea has warned Australia of a possible nuclear strike if it continues to "blindly and zealously toe the US line." It comes after Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said Pyongyang poses a "serious threat" to peace and stability in the region.
"If Australia persists in following the US moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK and remains a shock brigade of the US master, this will be a suicidal act of coming within the range of the nuclear strike of the strategic force of the DPRK," a spokesman for the North Korean Foreign Ministry said, as quoted by the official KCNA news agency.

The threat comes after Bishop said earlier this week that North Korea is on a "path to achieving nuclear weapons capability," posing an "unacceptable" risk to the region. She added that its efforts must be stopped by the international community.

Those comments were not taken well by North Korea, with the spokesman referring to them as a "string of rubbish.”

"What she uttered can never be pardoned as it is an act against peace that patronizes and shields the US extreme hostile policy toward the DPRK and nuclear threats and blackmail against it, the root cause of the grave situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula, and encourages the US to opt for reckless and risky military actions," the spokesman said.

He went on to accuse Australia of "blindly and zealously toeing the US line."

The spokesman concluded with a stern warning to Bishop: “The Australian foreign minister had better think twice about the consequences entailed by her reckless tongue-lashing before flattering the US," he said.

Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull pledged support for the US policy on North Korea on Saturday, and urged China once again to exert economic pressure on Pyongyang.

North Korea's comments also coincided with US Vice President Mike Pence's visit to Australia, during which he met with Turnbull and issued another condemnation of Pyongyang's weapons program.

Pence thanked Australia for calling on China to exert greater pressure on North Korea on Saturday, while repeating that "all options are on the table" when it comes to dealing with Pyongyang. He stressed, however, that the US is focused on diplomacy at this stage.https://www.rt.com/news/385720-north...tralia-threat/

lol. Australia calls North Korea a threat to the region while preparing for war and regime change, and then accuses North Korea of being the aggressor.

NK is like following 20 years from behind but if they have nukes thats other story.

North Korea threatens with a nuclear attack is like that angsty kid threatening to shoot up the school. Like yeah, he could do it, but it's probably going to fail, and the kid is still cringingly pathetic.

No way is Australia important enough for North Korea to waste its only chance to launch a nuke on.

If North Korea did launch a nuke, the whole country would be vaporised within minutes, probably by multiple nukes from multiple countries.

Total BS

No. Australia accused NK. The acusse could be right or could be wrong, it's not important. The answer of NK was, shut up or we will nuke you. There is a new sherif in the region.

Australia doesn't have any nuclear weapons. Anyway, that attitude alone justifies Korea's nuclear weapons.

Not only this, but also justifies even an preventive nuclear attack.

They should get their ICBM's to actually work first before making ridiculous threats
