North Korea announced on Thursday that they may launch a preemptive nuclear strike against the United States because the US is using military drills in South Korea as a launch pad for nuclear war.

The White House issued a response declaring that the United States is "fully capable" of defending against any attack from North Korea.

"Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to preemptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest," the North's foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.

North Korea has conducted several nuclear tests, in defiance of UN resolutions.  The UN Security Council voted unanimously to expand its sanctions on North Korea.  The resolution specifies some luxury items North Korea's elite is not allowed to import, such as yachts, luxury automobiles and certain types of jewelry.  "These sanctions will bite and bite hard," said US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, reported Reuters.

Did I just hear a joke?  Those sanctions might "bite and bite hard" the Obama administration's extreme vanity, but this is no time for jokes!  I suddenly take that back; the megalomaniacal-vain politicians within the Obama administration no doubt find these sanctions absolutely crushing!

Jesus said, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places" Matthew 24:7.
