North Korea issued a stark warning to the Biden regime, accusing that U.S. “bellicose moves” have escalated military tensions on the Korean Peninsula, nudging the region toward the “brink of a nuclear war.”
The country’s foreign ministry went as far as likening the current tensions to those experienced on the eve of the Korean War (1950-53) and pledged to continue enhancing its self-defensive capabilities, according to Yonhap.
The North Korean government has accused South Korea and the United States of increasing tensions to pre-war levels with their “delusional anti-communist military confrontation” and “rhetorical threats,” according to a report published by the Institute for American Studies at the North’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“Such bellicose moves of the U.S. have pushed the military tensions on the Korean peninsula and in Northeast Asia already plunged into an extremely unstable situation closer to the brink of a nuclear war,” the ministry said in the English-language report released by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
More from Yonhap:
The North argued that the U.S. is “resorting to the worrying hostile acts of wantonly encroaching upon the sovereignty and security” of the North more persistently this year than ever before and has reached a threshold that can no longer be tolerated.
It then warned that a war on the peninsula would “rapidly expand into a world war and a thermonuclear war unprecedented in the world,” causing “the most catastrophic and irreversible consequences” to peace and security in the region and the rest of the world.
Pyongyang will continue to further accelerate its efforts to bolster “its self-defensive capabilities for safeguarding its sovereignty” unless the U.S. withdraws its “anachronistic hostile policy” and persistent military threat against the North, the report said.
