Update 4: 3/6/13 North Korea threatened to exercise its "right to preemptive nuclear attack" Thursday as Pyongyang ratcheted up its rhetoric ahead of a United Nations vote on new sanctions.
"Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest,'' the North's foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency. NBC News could not immediately confirm the statement. However, the remarks were also reported by media outlets including The Associated Press.

Ignore and laugh at them?

or take them seriously?

Guess they didn't take kindly to Eric Schmidt's daughter dissing them about being a country version of the Truman Show.

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Thursday it would carry out further rocket launches and a nuclear test that would target the United States, dramatically stepping up its threats against a country it called its "sworn enemy". The announcement by the country's top military body came a day after the U.N. Security Council agreed a U.S.-backed resolution to censure and sanction the country for a rocket launch in December that breached its bans. "We are not disguising the fact that the various satellites and long-range rockets that we will fire and the high-level nuclear test we will carry out are targeted at the United States," North Korea's National Defence Commission said, according to state news agency KCNA.
North Korea is believed by South Korea and other observers to be "technically ready" for a third nuclear test, and the decision to go ahead rests with leader Kim Jong-un who pressed ahead with the December rocket launch in defiance of the U.N. sanctions.
China, the one major diplomatic ally of the isolated and impoverished North, agreed to the U.S.-backed resolution and it also supported resolutions in 2006 and 2009 after Pyongyang's two earlier nuclear tests.
Thursday's statement by North Korea represents a huge challenge to Beijing as it undergoes a leadership transition with Xi Jinping due to take office in March.
North Korea has rejected proposals to restart the so-called six-party talks aimed at reining in its nuclear capacity.
"After all these years and numerous rounds of six-party talks we can see that China's influence over North Korea is actually very limited. All China can do is try to persuade them not to carry out their threats," said Cai Jian, an expert on Korea at Fudan University in Shanghai.
Analysts said the North could test as early as February as South Korea prepares to install a new, untested president or that it could choose to stage a nuclear explosion to coincide with former ruler Kim Jong-il's Feb 16 birthday.
"North Korea will have felt betrayed by China for agreeing to the latest U.N. resolution and they might be targeting (China) as well (with this statement)," said Lee Seung-yeol, senior research fellow at Ewha Institute of Unification Studies in Seoul.
U.S. URGES NO TEST
Washington urged North Korea not to proceed with a third test just as the North's statement was published on Thursday.
"Whether North Korea tests or not is up to North Korea," Glyn Davies, the top U.S. envoy for North Korean diplomacy, said in the South Korean capital of Seoul.
"We hope they don't do it. We call on them not to do it," Davies said after a meeting with South Korean officials. "This is not a moment to increase tensions on the Korean peninsula."
The North was banned from developing missile and nuclear technology under sanctions dating from its 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests.
A South Korean military official said the concern now is that Pyongyang could undertake a third nuclear test using highly enriched uranium for the first time, opening a second path to a bomb.
North Korea's 2006 nuclear test using plutonium produced a puny yield equivalent to one kiloton of TNT - compared with 13-18 kilotons for the Hiroshima bomb - and U.S. intelligence estimates put the 2009 test's yield at roughly two kilotons
North Korea is estimated to have enough fissile material for about a dozen plutonium warheads, although estimates vary, and intelligence reports suggest that it has been enriching uranium to supplement that stock and give it a second path to the bomb.
According to estimates from the Institute for Science and International Security from late 2012, North Korea could have enough weapons grade uranium for 21-32 nuclear weapons by 2016 if it used one centrifuge at its Yongbyon nuclear plant to enrich uranium to weapons grade.
North Korea gave no time-frame for the coming test and often employs harsh rhetoric in response to U.N. and U.S. actions that it sees as hostile.
Its long-range rockets are not seen as capable of reaching the United States mainland and it is not believed to have the technology to mount a nuclear warhead on a long-range missile.
The bellicose statement on Thursday appeared to dent any remaining hopes that Kim Jong-un, believed to be 30 years old, would pursue a different path from his father Kim Jong-il, who oversaw the country's military and nuclear programs.
The older Kim died in December 2011.
"The UNSC (Security Council) resolution masterminded by the U.S. has brought its hostile policy towards the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea) to its most dangerous stage," the commission was quoted as saying.

The bad news is that the Iranians also have the bomb; the good news is that they're going to have to drop it from the back of a camel
 
Yawn. If they don't want an up close and very personal demonstration of actual working thermonuclear weapons they'll keep to themselves. Otherwise it's the same old same old with them...threaten to try and get shit for free.
 
^Yeah Pakistan will be short supply of Korean terrorist for hire. Think the Vietnam aproach will be quicker. Let two ships have a firefight with each other and blame the Koreans
 
3 years ago they were barely over 10% Hiroshima? Wow, if they sent something that small over here I'm not sure there'd be anything left of them after about six hours.
 
So what is the official rule the gov has if we get nuked by a peanut country like NK? Do we plant a bunch of carriers outside their country and wait them out or rush in like middle east or do we just eradicate them off the face of the planet? Id like to think we are more civil that carpet bombing them but the hell Ill expecting another iraq if we get nuked.

They should try, after the nuke gets shot down they would cease to exist.

Indeed. Their missile tech is comparable to our tech from the 50s. We would have no trouble shooting down anything aimed at us, and if we saw the strike coming their government could potentially be eradicated before their bottle rocket's debris hit the Pacific. Of course tens of thousands of South Koreans would die to NK artillery, but North Korea has no chance whatsoever of striking the US. They're just hoping we cave and send another round of food barges so they can survive long enough extort more next season.

Well, you can't nuke NK without fucking up SK, so that's out of the question. They'd get rocked by conventional munitions though.

Yes you can. Drop one the middle of the country. SK won't be my worries. China will be as the propoganda machine will spurt that it was a failed attack on China. But why do NK want to bomb the USA? Let them do what they want. Let them be China's problem as the Chinese will only let its neighbor get so powerful. They won't allow them to match them in capabilities.
 
Saw this, thought it might be relevant (reddit helped)

LOL.

I don't think we would nuke NK. Probably just drop a precisely guided bomb onto the residence of their dear leader.

Frankly I'm surprised by the lack of sudden unexpected demises over there. When everyone to take the dictatorial seat ends up mysteriously shot in the face soon after, perhaps something will change.
 
Lol. If NK somehow corrals that Unicorn they found and flies a nuke over here it'll be the end of NK, and they know it. They're just bucking for another handout.

So, are we going to pull out of Afghanistan so we can war with them for the next 10 years?

It wouldn't take 10 years and maybe not even 10 days. China wouldn't interfere this time. Take out their artillery and nuclear sites in the first day or two and the rest is mop up work. They won't start anything with us because they know that any attack (especially nuclear) would result in their regime being overthrown in a matter of days.

Remember, China is the only reason the Korean War ended in a stalemate (or more specifically, the political handcuffs that were introduced as a result of China entering the war). We had driven NK nearly into the Yalu and had China not entered the war, there would be no NK. That NK was better equipped and wasn't starving either.

Many NK high-ranking officials have been purged, including one guy that was executed by making him stand in a target circle while the NK army practiced their mortar aiming skills. D:
 
They see the condemnation of a recent rocket launch by the UN Security Council as something orchestrated by the US. This is just a middle finger to the US knowing that the US won't attack N-Korea anytime soon.
They won't dare to attack the US either, the only reason they'd even try to fire missiles towards another country is if they'd be attacked by the US or by S-Korea (with backing of the US). Which of course won't happen either, as none of the countries in question want to be nuked.

It's highly unlikely that, even if they'd have a long-range missile that could reach the US in the first place, any missile could get even halfway without being shot down. But the US doesn't want to risk a US army base in S-Korea being nuked either, as it's hard to explain to the home crowd why those men and women had to die. And if N-Korea would attack first the whole political top as well as most of their military would be annihilated, so they won't go beyond threatening either.

That's basically why Iran wants nukes too, and why Israel doesn't want them to have any. Israel wouldn't dare attack a country that could retaliate with nukes, and meanwhile they feel safe knowing that the threat of nukes will keep people from attacking them. Iran having nukes too would cancel that advantage.

Yeah, the bottom line is that there is no valid reason to pre-emptively attack or invade North Korea. The North Korean economy is in shambles and IIRC, the only natural resource they have that is desirable is certain heavy metals which we currently get from China and Russia anyway. The cost (in terms of money and lives) isn't remotely worth it. As some have already mentioned, North Korea's leadership knows all this so the only reason they occasionally engage in saber rattling is so they can extort more aid from the US, Japan, and others.
 
we're not going to do anything about it. NK has no oil. it was only included in the 'axis of evil' group ( booga booga ) so that it didnt look like we were just killing arabs
