North Korea "will increase its war deterrent in every way as long as the U.S. and its followers continue posing military threats to it," a spokesman for the North's Foreign Ministry said in comments carried by the country's official Korean Central News Agency.
The remarks came two days after South Korea and the U.S. launched Ulchi Freedom Guardian, an annual computer-simulated war game and follow daily criticisms of the exercises in North Korean media.
So North Korea isn't going to abandon their nuclear weapons? Huh. Who'd have thought that?
We've been holding these exercises for half a century now and the North Koreans keep claiming they are a preparation for aggressive war.
Well, at least when we launch the attack, nobody here can say we didn't plan enough for it. Though some of the privates who practiced back in 1958 are getting a tad old, I suppose.
Back to the bargaining table, I say. Talk, talk, die die.
