North Korea today accused the United States of driving the Korean peninsula towards an extreme level of explosion and declared that it is justified in responding with tough counter-measures.
Han Tae Song, North Korea’s Ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva, did not explicitly refer to his country’s latest test firing of a ballistic missile that flew over Japan into the sea earlier in the day.
Now that the U.S. has openly declared its hostile intention towards the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, by waging aggressive joint military exercises despite repeated warnings, his country has every reason to respond with tough counter-measures as an exercise of its right to self defence and the U.S. should be wholly responsible for the catastrophic consequences it will entail.
