War drums in the air as North Korea issues stark warning to
the United States to stop its "military hysteria" or face retaliation
- as a US strike group, including an aircraft carrier, steams towards the
region.
The latest warning was made by Pyongyang during his country’s
display of new submarine-based ballistic missiles in a massive military parade
in the city, which many belief is just a mere bluff, and that when the chips
are down, he will on his knees.
On the other hand, China, Pyongyang's sole major partner,
has cautioned that the tensions be stopped from reaching an "irreversible
and unmanageable stage".
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said: "We call on all
parties to refrain from provoking and threatening each other.
"One has the feeling that a conflict could break out at
any moment.
"Once a war really happens, the result will be nothing
but multiple loss. No one can become a winner."
It was just on Saturday when North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un
reached Pyongyang's main Kim Il Sung Square, named after his grandfather. While
there, a military parade was led by him to mark the "Day of the Sun",
the 105th birthday of the state's founding father Kim Il-Sung.
The venue was filled with goose-stepping soldiers and
marching bands. Military tanks, followed by multiple rocket systems, to mention
but a few.
The North Koreans have announced that the latest missiles
being developed is capable of striking
the US mainland.
"All the brigandish provocative moves of the US in the
political, economic and military fields pursuant to its hostile policy toward
the DPRK will thoroughly be foiled through the toughest counteraction of the
army and people of the DPRK," a spokesman for the General Staff of the
Korean People's Army said.
"Our toughest counteraction against the US and its
vassal forces will be taken in such a merciless manner as not to allow the
aggressors to survive," the military spokesman stated.
On the contrary, the US has warned that the dogma of
"strategic patience" with North Korea is over. This is due to the
fact that, Pyongyang has continuously flouted several warnings issued by the UN
