SEOUL (AFP) – North Korea warned of a military response after South Korea joined an anti-proliferation exercise, and said it is no longer bound by the 1953 armistice which ended their war.

A military statement quoted by official media also said the North could no longer guarantee the safety of shipping off its west coast.

It repeated Pyongyang's position that Seoul's decision to join the US-led Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) is tantamount to a declaration of war.
South Korea announced Tuesday it will become a full member of the PSI initiative to curb trade in weapons of mass destruction, after the North tested a nuclear weapon the previous day.

"Any tiny hostile acts against our republic, including the stopping and searching of our peaceful vessels... will face an immediate and strong military strike in response," the statement said.

"Our military will no longer be bound by the armistice accord as the current US leadership... has drawn the puppets (South Korea) into the PSI," said the statement from the North's military representative at the border truce village of Panmunjom.

The statement said that if the armistice is no longer binding, "the Korean peninsula will go back to a state of war."

This meant North Korean troops would take "corresponding military action," the statement said without giving details.

"Those who have provoked us will face unimaginable merciless punishment."
The statement said the US "imperialists and the traitor Lee Myung-Bak's group have driven the situation on the Korean peninsula into a state of war."

That's what I'm hoping. Just a bunch of saber rattling to get us to give them more shit. The question is, how long will we provide aid while they continue to spend 15% of their GDP on a military whose goal is to wipe their neighbors off the face of the planet?

At what point do we say, "Enough is enough, you stupid fucktard dictator, take your dirty bombs and shove it" and actually stop all this crap.
With N.Korea as a real nuclear power we have a lot more to worry about then just them deciding to wage war. I don't really see Kim Jong Il as the type to turn down money for nukes when asked by other countries who don't exactly see us as the saviors of mankind.

HAHAHAH have you guys looked at the bottom banner the pops up on this thread?

Koreancupid...lol

Obama should just tell Jong that if he wants nukes we will give them to him and then drop a few on Pyongyang. I'm so sick of this dude. He seems like a total douche.

That's all well and good, but it's not really the people of N. Korea that are the problem, its just the ruling party. Turning Pyongyang into a glass parking lot would needlessly kill almost 3 million people and cause fallout all across North and South Korea with a combined population of something like 72 million. One of the largest problems is that most of the military in North Korea are fighting because they fear death otherwise. It's not that they all share the sentiments of KJI and the WPK
Rock and a hard place, no?

It's all good. Obama's got it covered and the UN will put out another really stern worded sanction. That'll fix it.

The war on terrorism has been won and the economy is good now. Just watch out for those crazy Libertarian and the other right wing terrorists.
