North Korea says it is ready to strike U.S. aircraft carrier | Reuters

North Korea said on Sunday it was ready to sink a U.S. aircraft carrier to demonstrate its military might, in the latest sign of rising tension as U.S. President Donald Trump prepared to call the leaders of China and Japan.

The United States ordered the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group to sail to waters off the Korean peninsula in response to mounting concern over the North's nuclear and missile tests, and its threats to attack the United States and its Asian allies.

The U.S. government has not specified where the carrier strike group is as it approaches the area. U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday it would arrive "within days," but gave no other details.

Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a single strike," the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, said in a commentary.

The paper likened the aircraft carrier to a "gross animal" and said a strike on it would be "an actual example to show our military's force".

The commentary was carried on page three of the newspaper, after a two-page feature about leader Kim Jong Un inspecting a pig farm.

A senior U.S. administration official said Trump was expected to speak later on Sunday with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

In another sign of the intense focus on Pyongyang in Washington, the White House is expected to host U.S. senators for a top-level briefing on North Korea on Wednesday, a White House official said.

The official said the briefing would be led by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and Marine General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

U.S. and South Korean officials have been saying for weeks the North could soon stage another nuclear test, something the United States, China and others have warned against.

South Korea has put its forces on heightened alert.

that could happen easier than you might suspect

2 Japanese destroyers have joined the Strike Force.

Please Trump, don't say anything stupid. Oh, wait...

Fat Boy's Stealth Missiles miss Trump's Cloaked Armada -- no video Monday @11pm ...

that would be the stupidest thing Kim has ever done.

North Korea risks getting in trouble

unlike you, he isn't stupid. Remember, he grew up in Switzerland, not N. Korea.

Dont say anything "stupid" to the country that launched a war and divided a nation and that's been threatening the US and the region with war since the 50s and now threatening the US and region with nuclear attacks and will likely be the first country to supply nukes to groups like ISIS?

Geee... genius. What "stupid" thing are you thinking could be said?

Nations like this exist and threaten the world because of weak and self described "afraid" pussies like you.

... or do you think Canada going to finally get active in solving complex issues like this for the benefit of the world and do something besides being a nation of snide, self absorbed, passive aggressive assholes with an inferiority complex?

I pray to god that they attack that ship

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War :2 cents:

All is good! USA's anti missile defence has a 29% hit rate on targets..

Its a nice dream, reality is Seoul would be wiped off the map or unliveable

North Korea has been building its weapon supplies for 60 years and while much of it is out dated it still throws a killer punch, and if anyone has bio weapons ready to go.. Its North Korea.

North Koreans love their leader, and if anyone thinks invading or dropping a few nukes on them will change their attitude your sadly misguided.

never forget how the USA locked down and freaked out.. when 2 snipers attacked
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.C._sniper_attacks

It would take the smallest of attacks on American soil to totally fuck the whole country.

Well if that happens, those beautiful Kpop girls will just go to waste.
Seriously, the pain will just deepen when this two quarreling brothers goes at it again. Lot's of families and relatives are already divided.

We have two choices here
1) Status quo
2) Go to war.

Which is why we always go with the same option.

Trump just said on live TV that "America has had blinders on regarding North Korea for decades"

What a fucking idiot :1orglaugh

The Chinese, Russians and Americans need to enforce a total embargo. With the exception of food relief and medicine.

What is the point in destroying North Korea's infrastructure -- the USA would just pay to rebuild it to "win the hearts and minds of the people" again ...

:1orglaugh be like trying to say something stupid to isis

We saw what that gave in a very very similar situation : Vietnam

Same thing : Country artificially separated :South supported by US, North supported by China/Russia

Went to war because the REDS were a security threat to the USA ( ... ??? ... ) . Millions of people dead later, country destroyed, time did it's work and now look at that country ....


What is really the
problem with North Korea ..... that cannot be fixed ?

Just showing how fucking dumb you are again.

How is North Korea, which is only full of bluster and empty threats able to sink one of our aircraft carriers? Are these the same idiots we're going to have a nuclear war with?

A nuclear war (if it were to ever happen) would consist of two nations with the ability to deliver nuclear warheads to it's opponent's homeland. At the present time, that's only one of the two nations...can you guess which one? Hint: It's initials are US and A.

North Korea making threats toward the United States would be the equivalent of you making threats of bareknuckle violence toward Dwayne Johnson. Actually, you would have a better chance of beating him in a fistfight than North Korea has of doing anything to the US, including sinking an aircraft carrier -- and especially striking the mainland and reducing our country to ashes.

Donald Trump will do more damage to this country than North Korea ever will, when you look at all of the EPA and Wall Street regulations he's trying to do away with.

The problem is China. Whatever we do with North Korea, China will lie to us and supplement NK in fighting us. China is over 80% of NK's economy. China lies and says they are following sanctions when they aren't. All the nuclear materials and technology for NK's nuclear abilities were provided by China. China uses NK as a puppet to threaten Asia and the U.S.

Exactly. This is the bigger issue. If we attack North Korea it will further complicate things with China and could, potentially, lead to a war with China which would be very costly in both money and lives for both sides.

N. Korea is not a military threat. We could wipe them off the map with little more than what we have in the Pacific Fleet, but what comes with that is the bigger issue.
