A Sea of Fire?

I don't know what is happening to this country. To think that most of their people are starving and still they are thinking of hurting others. What kind of ideology is that, maybe they want to be recognized but they should learned to help themselves first not destructing other peace loving country. This is alarming, the US should take this issue seriously.

To be honest, I felt that North Korea is very bold with such an announcement and I hope that they are not really considering carrying this through. On the other side, I hope that the US will not be slow to react again as like the episodes in Pearl Harbor and 9/11 Twin Towers where Americans have been carelessly underestimating their aggressors. The price had been costly and I hate to see it being repeated. However, I have every confident that US will be able to protect herself from such attack as we have witnessed how Israel reacted to the missile attacks recently.

ive been worrying over N. korea ever since things started on the news about them wanting to bomb us out of existance. they been saying it for over a year and so since all i can do about it is worry, i try not to watch or listen to such news. my oldest daughter called and was talking about the same yesterday and she said not only are they not allowing people in nor out, but people are not even allowed internet in that part of the country. its all way to creepy.

This does alarm me because Korea is very evil in my opinion. I think I'm more worried for my family living in the United States. I would not put anything past this country and its threats. I hope they are really years away from having anything ready. Then why put this out there now to the world. I wouldn't trust them because they are threatening the US but claiming to be years away from finalizing a nuclear reactor. I bet its all ready and aiming at the US already.

I think that North Korea wants to flex its muscles. I think the son, who replaced his father wants to be taken seriously. And I think that making grave threats like this make him appear to be more powerful. At least to his people. Now I think they're scrambling to back up their words. Can we send 'The Worm' back there again to broker peace?!

What they are telling is psych war imagine challenging one of the most known powerful country all eyes and ears of your neighbors can be with you even for a second only. Always remember the dog bark for he don't want to be attacked

It's scary to me. They are crazy people and we can't trust them to not do the stupidest things. We need to take the threats seriously. IF they are "light years" away from being able to blast the US, we still need to take it seriously. People who hate to this extreme can do anything. If not nuclear, then men on the ground... who knows?

That new young chubby leader who had just taken over the helm of the nation's office after his father passed away is hoping to show to the military and his people he is a strong and reckless leader for North Korea, through making fiery statement to attack USA and South Korea with nuclear bomb will satisfy his crave of building a heroic image deep into the psychic of all his people to replace his deceased father. He may not have the ability to carry out the nuclear attack on USA now, but he is working on that plan now, it is just a matter of time he will make good his threat. If he start the first strike with nuclear weapon, i am sure he will get to witness and experience that sea of fire within North Korea sooner than he envision. Yes, We should take his threat seriously and take certain counter measure if possible, especially if the situation like food and medicine shortage inside North Korea is getting more desperate for him, then strike out quickly to divert blame is the only way for him tohold on to power within.

The goverment probaly knows more then they are letting on. They don't want to worry us could be their excuse! That is my take on this. I don't get that North Korea is so hung on nuclear war with us when they are letting people stave in their country! You can tell were their piorities are! Then I can't figure out why they let Dennis Rodeman is thier country but won't talk to us? None of this makes sense!

I don't know much of anything, but I think North Korea is flexing its muscles. They've been on a cease fire since some time in the 1950s right? I kind of think the best thing for everyone concerned for the UN to be dismantled. There is no way the US would sit back and not take counter measures to intercept a missile aimed at Washington.

Hi, I haven't read this news. But it is very surprising. Korea wants to make Washington a sea of fire. It is very unfair thing. We know Japan is facing the radiation problem till now due to nuclear explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why Korea wants to repeat this? It is impossible for Korea to become a world power.

The root of NK issue is the hostile policy took by US imperialist rigme. North Koreans and their leader marshal kim jong un are peace-loving.

I have no idea but I know that is the way of media always to make things like a fire and make some even not real gossips. I do not see any problems for the future of our earth, I just believe that we are going to fight with one thing and that is our ignorance and we are going to get close with something and that is increasing knowledge and humanity day by day. so I do not think earth will have that kind of fiery time.

I am alarmed any time we get threats after 9/11 but I think the Government would have stepped up and taken care of the threat if they thought that this was going to come to pass

all I will say is this. I implore the USA not to dismiss this threat. Some dictator's are not the sharpest knives in the drawer and anything can happen. It is a serious threat to the Us. I am convinced of this. Soemtimes, governments play down events as they doand sometimes, we do not learn form the past. I read the new book on Lincoln recently and was struck by how some things basically remain the same. What a giant of a man Lincoln was? No change with people. Events and circumstances nchange but not the attitude of people.

Hi this was in the local paper were i live the other day.we USa got like 3000 smiltary people in south Korea,with the teck our navy ships have it would be hard for them to do.Noth Korea is being watch the UN did a lot of sanction against north Korea that why they are playing mind games.

I think Korea is making a big mistake. As the usa with also go at them with all its forces. lets hope Korea changes its plans.

I don't think North Korea will ever be a world nuclear power. Sure, they have significant nuclear energy and have the potential to do some serious damage but there is no way they can dominate on the world scale. N Korea is just picking a fight with everyone politically because it feels like its not being taken seriously. Before they would use South Korea as their "hostage" so to say but now the new leader seems to be taking a more open and direct approach towards the US. Even the last remaining ally, China, believes that sanctions should be made against North Korea.

That excuse may be one of the most irresponceble, foolish or sadistic responces yet. If any one is going to attack first it will be North Korea or try to provoke a war. The N. Korean regime brain wash their people right from chilhood to believe that America and the West are the evil ones and taught hate the USA.... North Korea is still hung up on that war from 60 years ago as if it just happened yesterday.

This does not sound good to me, of course they are going to say that they are still years away they do not want people to panic. I think something for sure is going on or in the works. Regardless if it now or years away that would effect our Grandchildren. Hope Washington is steps ahead of them.
