North Korea has stepped up its aggression against its southern neighbor, by suddenly blowing up a joint embassy location set up for talks between the two nations and massing troops on its border.
As The Sun reports:
NORTH Korea has threatened to mass troops near the border with its “mongrel dog” neighbour South Korea, hours after blowing up an ex-embassy.
The threat – reported by the dictatorship’s state media – is the latest in a string of increasingly belligerent actions by the North in recent weeks…
Its threatening language came hours after an inter-Korean liaison office building just north of the heavily armed border with South Korea was symbolically blown to smithereens on Tuesday.
North Korea said the country destroyed the office in a “terrific explosion” because its “enraged people” were determined to “force (the) human scum, and those who have sheltered the scum, to pay dearly for their crimes”.

North Korea also level a threat to ‘set Seoul on fire’ in hints that it may attack its neighbor.
Of course, North Korea has long level such threats before repeatedly backing off. But could this time be different?
Click-bait title says, “North Korea Masses Troops On Border. . . .”
Article actually says, “NORTH Korea has threatened to mass troops near the border. . .”
That is a significant difference and is just as much Fake News from a pseudo-“conservative” newsletter/website as anything from the leftist media. That is not insignificant!
There is an overwhelming abundance of these fake conservative “news” entities being created — some are just click-bait cons trying to capitalize off of per click advertising dollars, without regard to moral principle in how they present information, some are complete frauds set up by leftist organization to attract a conservative Patriot audience in order to inject disinformation and controversy among conservatives, and some are genuine attempts to provide truth contrary to the abundance of Fake News from all the other sources. It takes great discernment to distinguish among them and to spot telltale signs.
Luring in an audience with Fake and misleading headlines is definitely a telltale sign that this is definitely not the latter of the three options.
Note that this website/newsletter tells you nothing about who they are or offer any identifiable by-lines, so you can’t determine or tract their credentials or credibility — another clear telltale sign.
You cannot be “TrueDaily” with “Fake-or-MisleadingDaily” headlines.
North korea is being run and dominated by china and a result china call the shots. they just blowing smoke like the indian in the past China have to many problem of their own to allow north korea to do stupid things
This time is no different. NK makes the threats for some political reason, never expecting to follow through on them. If the threats work, NK gets some concessions from its adversaries. If they do not get concessions, they make some excuse to justify their threats, then they magnanimously forgive the insult from the west which was never really made in the first place. This is a no-lose situation for NK. They are more likely to bomb Seoul in a surprise attack, than to make a real threat.
Sounds like N Korea’s economy isn’t doing very well….The threat to keep people IN and decades of starvation and gaining power to become a threat to other countries means only one thing. To take what they don’t have……War?,..so be it and I wish them farewell…
The North Korean leadership is still as crazy as a 3 year old with a diaper full!
Fake news
Idea….Wait till the North Korean Wing nuts all get aligned on the DMZ and FFE a bunch of MOAB’s on them!
Are all dictators as dumb as a rock?
The lead-up to yet another anniversary of the June 25th invasion of South Korea by North Korea. Hard to tell if the troop movements are anything other than saber-rattling, sort of a counter to the joint US-South Korean “wargame” exercises.
Hope so! Could be the end of them.
