Previously, North Korea let the world know that they were backing down from making threats to the United States and Guam. During the time they backed off, much has happened in America, with the Charlottesville incident taking over the news. Since then, CNN has reported that Kim Jong-Un is not happy with the fact that the U.S. and South Korean are running military drills next week. North Korea noted that there will be no way for Hawaii, Guam, and the United States to “dodge the merciless strike” they can send their way. North Korea claims that South Korea and the U.S.’s military drills are “reckless behavior driving the situation into the uncontrollable phase of a nuclear war.”
According to the Yonghap News Agency, North Korea gave more insight into their thought process, saying “The joint exercise is the most explicit expression of hostility against us, and no one can guarantee that the exercise won’t evolve into actual fighting. If the United States is lost in a fantasy that war on the peninsula is at somebody else’s door far away from them across the Pacific, it is far more mistaken than ever.”
Trump has not addressed North Korea’s latest threats via Twitter, but reports from the White House note that the exercises will still continue.
