In the past week, North Korea has been making very serious threats against the United States and other nations. Their recent claims have included bombing the White House and Capitol building, attacking United States navy bases on the Pacific, and even renouncing their armistice between them and South Korea. In the past, North Korea has made many threats, but most were simply ignored. These recent ones, however, show some concern. They are much more violent and specific than previous threats. There has even been propaganda videos playing throughout North Korea showing these US buildings being bombed. This may be of some concern in the near future as North Korea gains more military and political power.
But of course, most of this isn't new to the United States. We receive threats all the time from Kim Jong Un and his military. The reality of the situation is that these are empty threats meant to intimidate. North Korea is simply trying to give themselves credibility as a major military power and threat. However, North Korea has failed in testing their military equipment, and currently, they do not have the technology to act on their threats. However, as time progresses, North Korea will gain more knowledge and make more advances that could make these threats possible. But for now, all we can do is listen to these empty threats and watch to see what can be predicted about North Korea in the future.
