North Korea plans new nuclear test, threatens to target US

North Korean state media has said that Pyongyang plans to carry out a third nuclear test and more long-range rocket launches, which it says will be targeted at the United States. "We are not disguising the fact that the various satellites and long-range rockets that we will fire and the high-level nuclear test we will carry out are targeted at the United States," Reuters reported, quoting the statement by the country's top military body, released by KCNA.

Phrasing can be a tricky thing (this article is from a Vietnamese site apparently) and im wondering if they meant it in terms as a show in power to the United States.

I found rt to be just as sensational about topics as fox news can get and things can get seriously distorted. Though its not surprising North Korea is flexing its muscle in front of the US again, especially with the war and unpopular presidents recently making the world less sympathetic to the US, makes em extra cocky.

these people again aggggr i would say the typical American thing which is fire some rockets at them then have them explode over the targets high enough to not injure anyone as a warning. Seriously sick and tired of North Korea's games of we are poor help us we want peace then the next minute lets threaten the usa with a million dollar bottle rocket that explodes 5 miles away from where it launched

Meh, they're only bluffing...as usual.

They've come out and and said this because the UN are discussing more sanctions on them, China have even agreed to them and they're NK's biggest allies.

They'll shut up once the food from China and USA stops being shipped in.

From your article:

In a statement carried Thursday by state media, the National Defense Commission in Pyongyang threatened to wage a "full-fledged confrontation" against the U.S. for what it calls continued hostility.

The declaration follows the U.N. Security Council's condemnation of North Korea on Tuesday and expanded sanctions against the regime for launching a rocket in December. North Korea said the launch was a peaceful satellite mission, but the U.S. and others say it was actually a test of long-range missile technology.

I guess RT wasn't sensationalizing. Everytime I hear crap from NK my tin foil hat mind goes to "Killshot".

Maybe WWIII isn't the worst that could happen.

Wonder what our King, I mean President will do about this? Ignore it?

From your article:

In a swift rejection of the U.N. warnings, North Korea today said that it will take “physical counteraction” to bolster its “nuclear deterrence both qualitatively and quantitatively.”

The defiant statement from North Korea’s Foreign Ministry came just hours after the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution condemning rocket launch as a violation of an existing ban against nuclear and missile activity.

UN Security Council Resolution 2087 imposes sanctions on North Korea’s space agency, targets the illicit smuggling of sensitive items and updates a list of nuclear and ballistic missile technology prohibited for transfer in or out of the country. It also reiterates that a peaceful, diplomatic and political resolution to relevant issues should be sought, and advocates the resumption of the Six-Party talks.
