North Korea warns of ‘blitzkrieg’ on Obama 'and his cronies’

North Korea said Saturday its military is ready to pre-emptively attack and “liberate” the South if it sees signs that American and South Korean troops involved in annual joint military drills are attempting to invade the North. The KPA said it will counter the drills by the United States and South Korea it says are aimed at advancing into Pyongyang with plans to “liberate the whole of South Korea including Seoul” and also that it is capable of executing “ultra-precision blitzkrieg” strikes against enemy targets. The declaration from General Staff of the North’s Korean People’s Army on state media is the latest outburst over the drills that the U.S. and South Korea say are defensive and routine.

This is the last warning of the DPRK to Obama and his cronies in the White House.

A statement from the North Korean General Staff

At the start of the “Ssangyong” (twin dragons) drills on Monday, the North warned of an indiscriminate “pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice” on Washington and Seoul. The exercise involved 17,200 soldiers – 12,200 US troops and 5,000 South Korean soldiers – at the south-eastern port of Pohang, a South Korean defence ministry spokesman said. Meanwhile, news reports said a North Korean submarine had gone missing earlier this week, sparking a search by the North’s navy. American spy satellites, aircraft and ships have been watching as the North Korean navy searched for the missing sub, CNN reported.
