http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/n-korea-warns-us-of-terrifying-price-over-nuke-tensions/ar-BBuTlHw?li=BBnb7KzVIENTIANE, Laos North Korea warned the United States on Tuesday that it will pay a "terrifying price" if the Korean Peninsula sinks into deeper tensions, stepping up its rhetoric hours after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry blasted Pyongyang for its nuclear program.
Kerry told a regional security conference being hosted by Laos that North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons when the world is trying to rid itself of them is "very provocative and deeply concerning." He urged the country to follow the lead of Iran, which hammered out a deal to end its nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions.
However, North Korea was slapped with new U.N. sanctions in March, and Kerry urged the international community to fully enforce those and previous sanctions.
In North Korea's typical fashion of unleashing rhetorical threats, its foreign minister, Ri Yong-ho, told the same conference, known as the ASEAN Regional Forum, that it is ready to face any sanctions and took them into account when it took the "inevitable strategic decision" to develop nuclear weapons to counter the "never-ending nuclear blackmails of the U.S."

(5,737 posts)1. The leader of NK is like Trump, neither needs to be in charge of deciding to use nukes.
By the way, I loved that Team America trashing of NK. Thanks for posting that clip, it was fun to see it again.

If he feels the world has been ignoring him he says something crazy to get a little attention.
