The latest lunacy coming out of North Korea comes in the form of a threat with the intended goal of demonstrating the tiny country’s supposed powerful forces.
North Korea threatened Sunday to sink a U.S. aircraft carrier to demonstrate its military prowess as two Japanese navy ship joined a U.S. strike group for exercises in the Philippine Sea.
“Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a U.S. nuclear powered aircraft carrier with a single strike,” according to North Korea’s ruling Workers’ Party’s newspaper, the Rodong Sinmum.
The paper also likened the USS Carl Vinson to a “gross animal” and said a strike on the carrier would be “an actual example to show our military’s force.”
This is a time of great tension globally and North Korea continues to threaten stability in that region. Vice President, Pence spoke Saturday saying that the USS Carl Vinson would arrive “within days”.
