North Korea demanded Sunday that the United States recognise it as a "legitimate nuclear weapons state" following its fifth and largest atomic test.

&quot President Barack) Obama is trying hard to deny the DPRK's (North Korea's) strategic position as a legitimate nuclear weapons state but it is as foolish an act as trying to eclipse the sun with a palm," said a foreign ministry spokesman quoted by the official KNCA news agency.

The spokesman in a statement defended the test, which has been slammed worldwide, as a necessary response to what he termed a US nuclear threat.

The North would work to increase its nuclear force "in quality and in quantity", the statement said.

1. Illegitimate nuclear weapons state, maybe

Dear Jong-Un, if you try using those weapons we will nuke your ass flat. We have more weapons than you do, and ours are guaranteed to work. Love, Barack.

5. Exactly. Eom

2. I'm less worried about them launching weapons than them having a sprawling accident there

8. I'm more worried about conventional ground attack

North Korea has a massive amount of tanks and artillery coated in cosmoline and parked in caves close to the Han estuary. When spring comes and the Han is still frozen is the perfect time to go. (Why do you think the US Army brings two divisions to Korea in the spring for a huge combined forces exercise? It isn't to hit the after-Christmas Sales in Itaewon, that I can tell you!)

3. The neighbor's kid is making explosives in the basement again.

Let's hope he doesn't take anyone with him when he blows himself up.

4. Um, don't worry, US already has NK's coordinates targeted.

That's the only recognition that counts.

6. Easy on Kim

He has tiny hands just like the Donald

7. Kim to Obama:

9. It is pathetic

Kim places greater importance on world image than feeding his own people. He would garner greater world recognition if he was simply a better leader rather than a petulant child with big toys.

10. No, we don't have to do that. Not at all.

NK can go pound sand, eventually enough folks will be desperate enough and hungry enough to kill their foul dictator.
