The North Korean leader accused Mr
Obama of “crossing the red line” after introducing trade sanctions last
week, and promised the “toughest countermeasures” in response. Obama
in uncharacteristic fashion has deployed supersonic strike bombers to
bases near North Korea - daring Kim Jong-Un to attack first.
Around
300 US airmen have also been deployed alongside the B-1B Lancer bombers
to Guam, a US territory in the Pacific Ocean within striking range of
the North Korea’s capital of Pyongyang.
A
spokesman for the US Airforce said: “The B-1 units bring a unique
perspective and years of repeated combat and operational experience from
the Central Command theatre to the Pacific.
“They
will provide a significant rapid global strike capability that enables
our readiness and commitment to deterrence, offers assurance to our
allies, and strengthens regional security and stability in the
Indo-Asia-Pacific region.”
Along with declaring war on the US, North Korea also recently threatened to reduce Japan “to debris in a moment”.
Most
bizarrely, however, has been the dictator's order for border guards to
kill snakes - amid 'fears' the snakes are spies working for his
enemies.
A source from within Pyongyang
revealed: “From early this month, border patrol units received orders to
capture snakes before they crawl over the banks of Amnok River.
“The
key message from the Party was that the South’s National Intelligence
Service had released snakes as part of a ‘cunning scheme’ to challenge
our unity.
“Under orders to capture the snakes
before they reach land and hatch eggs, soldiers have no choice but to
wade into the river to do so, naturally leading to complaints.
“Some
grumble among themselves about the nature of the state’s claims,
justifiably pointing out that not even a three-year-old would believe
that the South would attack us with snakes over propaganda leaflets or
CDs.”
