US Secretary of State John Kerry has said an anticipated missile launch by North Korea would be a “provocative act” and “huge mistake”.
The North has moved two missiles to its east coast and South Korea is on alert.
Speaking in Seoul, Mr Kerry reconfirmed the US’s commitment to protecting itself and its allies.
I would [b]not[/b] care to be in North Korea if their leaders do decide to launch a nuclear strike; something which would be extremely foolish for them to do. I don’t think they’re capable of doing such a thing at this point in time, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t choose to do it at some point. They are playing with fire, and launching such a missile is a very dangerous thing for them to even contemplate doing. Personally, I think Kim is bluffing.
When asked why it would be a “huge mistake,” Kerry replied, “Because. . .and shut up!”
If they were to be so stupid as to launch a nuclear missile at us, the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of North Korea would cease to exist, and I’d give them three days at the most from the time of launch.
