A dire warning from a top us commander following U.S. B-1B bombers’ symbolic show of force against North Korea’s nuclear testing. Amid speculation that another test could occur before the end of the year, tensions on the Korean Peninsula are rising even further.

The latest event reinforces South Africa’s conviction that nuclear weapons continue to constitute a grave threat to worldwide peace and security, said the spokesperson.
Citing an unnamed diplomatic source, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported on Thursday that the USA and China have already begun exchanging views on a possible new Security Council resolution.
“Assessment by South Korean and United States intelligence is that the North is always ready for an additional nuclear test in the Punggye-ri area”, spokesman Moon Sang-gyun said, according to Reuters. It uses such flyovers and the American military influence in the South in its propaganda as alleged proof of USA hostility that it claims as the reason it needs a nuclear bomb program.
“I smacked my head on the bathroom floor and broke four tiles on it, as I was so shocked from the North’s hydrogen bomb detonation!” the Obama wannabe replied as the live audience cracked up.
Jeffrey Lewis of the California-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies said North Korea had an unconstrained source of fissile material, both plutonium from the Yongbyon reactor and highly-enriched uranium from at least one and probably two sites.
On the morning of September 9, North Korea executed its fifth nuclear test and announced that the country has a weapon light and small enough to be placed atop a ballistic missile.
Pyongyang’s most impressive missile test was a launch Monday in rapid succession of three intermediate-range missiles toward Japan.
Six-nation diplomatic talks aimed at ridding the North of its bombs have been stalled since the last round of meetings in late 2008.
On Monday, South Korea’s Defense Ministry spokesman said the rogue regime is ready to conduct an additional nuclear test at any time.
During the rally, a senior government official hailed the reclusive country’s successful nuclear test.
South Korea said foreign minister Yun Byung-se and his counterparts Kerry and Japanese foreign minister Fumio Kishida will meet during the annual UN General Assembly to discuss putting further pressure on North Korea.
“This military unit is dedicated to targeting the North Korean leadership and launching retaliatory attacks on them”, the source noted.
