N.Korea says ready for dialogue and war with US

North Korea said Tuesday it would strengthen its nuclear deterrent in response to US military threats and is prepared for both dialogue and war with Washington.

The comments from a foreign ministry spokesman follow Monday's launch of a major US and South Korean military exercise which the North depicts as a rehearsal for invasion.

On Monday the communist state said it had ordered its military on full alert and announced readiness to "blow up" South Korean facilities.

The US and South Korea say the annual Key Resolve/Foal Eagle exercise, which involves 18,000 American and 20,000 South Korean troops, is defensive.

North Korea habitually responds angrily to the war games south of the border but they normally pass off without major incident.

This year's exercise coincides with diplomatic efforts to bring the North back to six-nation nuclear disarmament talks. The North quit the forum last April, a month before staging its second atomic weapons test.

As a precondition for returning, it demands a US commitment to open talks about a peace treaty to replace the armistice which ended the 1950-53 Korean War.

The ministry spokesman, quoted by Pyongyang's official news agency, described the military drill as "nuclear war exercises aimed at mounting a preemptive attack" on the North.

The exercise proved the justice of the proposal for a peace treaty, the spokesman added.

"The DPRK (North Korea) is fully ready for dialogue and war. It will continue bolstering up its nuclear deterrent as long as the US military threats and provocations go on."

so either way, America will be on top, its just a question of whether its on top of the castle or the garbage heap.

But still, talking about patriotism, you've still gotta admit that SINGAPORE* HAS A GREATER GDP PER CAPITA THAN AMERICA! MUHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!!

We are Singapore, we are Singapore...
We will stand together hear the lion roar...

This is my country, this is my flag,
This is my future, this is my life...
This is my family, these are my friends...
We are Singapore, Sin-ga-po-reans...

You're wrong, Lines. It's over $60,000. It's because we're small and that's why our country is rich.

Small =/= weak.

Wiki says: 49,433 ; 49,288 ; 50,300.

Which yes, is larger than America's. But in the end, you're still small.

I didn't say weak but... you are weak. You might have access to tech and shiny things, but you couldn't possibly stand up to a world power for very long...

GDP =/= Greatness.

Military might =/= greatness.

Economic Strength =/= Greatness.

Land Area =/= Greatness.

Population =/= Greatness.

Stable Government =/= Greatness.

All these things COMBINED, however, Do. [EDIT] Because it takes A LOT OF WORK to get to that point, and PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE to get there, and its not easy at all.

No country has all of these things at the same time. its the Ideal.
