In a press conference in New York City, Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho says that the US has declared war on North Korea, giving them the right to shoot down US bombers in international airspace.
“The whole world should clearly remember it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country…Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country.” (source)
On Monday, Ri Yong Ho classified this tweet as a declaration of war:

The Washington Post said:
Ri’s remarks were the most direct and threatening so far since Trump gave a combative address to the General Assembly last week in which he threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea.
Lauding U.S. strength and patience, Trump said, “If it is forced to defend ourselves or our allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.” (source)
After the recent back-and-forth between President Trump and Kim Jong Un, it was only a matter of time until things came to a head. This is a tremendous escalation that should concern us all. Watch for updates on Preppers Daily News.

I find this very SCARY!
Kim Jong Un is loonier than an outhouse rat!!! He is going to get his country ruined by his bravado. The good people of North Korea deserve a better government than what this dictator has to offer. We have all seen the documentaries that show the insane antics of North Korea’s first family; they think that they can get away with anything they want. They starve, torture, and execute their own people if they if they don’t tow the line without complaint. I have seen first hand the technology that our government has at their fingertips; if you ask me, Kim Jong Un is awakening a sleeping giant that could pound him into dust. I fear for the good people of North Korea; I hope they duck-n-cover well.
I keep wondering what’s Trump’s real motive for antagonizing North Korea.
Surely no one is taking North Korea’s claim seriously? Right? I mean, will China back up North Korea? Is this a formal declaration of war by the hermit kingdom? Is the UN saying “Yes, this is war, that has been legitimately recognised”?
I have so many questions about this statement. Mainly, is this a legitimate declaration of war against the US and not just more posturing?
Is this for real?
