North Korea Friday resumed its criticism of the United States, a day after dropping its customary harsh words from a policy-setting New Year message.
The ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun accused Washington in a commentary of planning a preemptive nuclear strike against North Korea.
"The US war-thirsty forces' moves to mount a preemptive nuclear attack are assuming an increasing danger," it said.
North Korea says our 5-decades-long preparations for a nuclear preemptive strike are getting more worrisome?
Not to worry, that hope and change era kicks in on January 20th, so North Korea just has to get past the next couple weeks or so and then they're home free.
We'll see who else wants to get their licks in before the planetary healing kick off deadline, too, so strap yourselves in--it could be a bumpy pre-hope and change period.
