N. Korea threatens U.S. with “a hail of bullets and shells on its own territory.”
Via our friends at the Korean Central News Service, North Korea’s official journo-terrorism service.
In 2011, the Associated Press signed two memoranda of agreement with KCNA in which AP and KCNA agreed to cooperate in the reporting of “news” about North Korea. The AP refuses to disclose the contents of those memoranda.
President Bush removed North Korea from the list of state sponsors of terrorism on October 11, 2008. The Obama Administration’s official view is that North Korea is “not known to have sponsored any terrorist acts since the bombing of a Korean Airlines flight in 1987.”
Discuss among yourselves.

Excuse me, Josh, but the KCNA article says “But it [the U.S.] has never experienced a hail of bullets and shells on its own territory.” This particular article doesn’t threaten the U.S. Plenty of other KCNA articles do … there’s no need to exaggerate.
If I’m leaping to conclusions by assuming that this was a threat, I’m not the only one who did. But as an experiment, try saying the same thing about your local congressman and see how long it takes for the local police to arrive at your door.
The original Korean article makes it very clear that the “hail of bullets and shells on its own territory” is a threat directed against the U.S.:
“??? ???? ????? ???? ?? ?? ????? ?????? ???? ???? ???? ????? ???? ?? ????.
??? ????…”
The conditional clause “??? ????” can only mean “If [the U.S.] does not wish to suffer the same experience,” as in the “hail of bullets and shells on its own territory” in the preceding sentence. That’s a death threat against a civilian population for political motives, which is a standard definition of international terrorism.

And this is why North Korea will never achieve anything as a country. If it took a less aggressive stance and actually became an advocate of peace it would likely attract outside investment which would benefit its people a lot more than this..

True, but there’s already one Korea filling that role, two is redundant (and the Norks have to know that).
@Blackshoe
With the natural resources the country has, it’s a massive shame. It’s economy could grow massively, investment could be made in the infrastructure to bring it out of the dark ages, it could finally enter the 21st century. And people could actually have a decent quality of life.
A united Korea could actually become a fairly major world power in time.
@matthew, China is going to rob it blind before it knows what happened.
