North Korea Flexes Its Military Muscle on YouTube, With Added Effects
By RUSSELL GOLDMANMARCH 21, 2017
North Korea released a propaganda video this week depicting a United States aircraft carrier
and a warplane being destroyed in computer-generated balls of fire, the latest salvo in an escalating war of words between the two nuclear powers.
Its release coincides with the annual joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea known as Foal Eagle, and comes just days after Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson suggested
that the United States was open to the possibility of a pre-emptive strike against North Korea.
"It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze with the fire started by itself." North Korea has continued to develop nuclear weapons
despite several United Nations Security Council resolutions intended to curb its weapons program by imposing sanctions.
Korean Central News Agency said that The nuclear force is the treasured sword of justice
and the most reliable war deterrence to defend the socialist motherland and the life of its people,
Mr. Tillerson recently visited Japan, South Korea and China primarily to discuss North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.
On Monday, North Korea issued a statement from an unidentified Foreign Ministry spokesman
saying the country would not be deterred from developing nuclear weapons.
