Washington (CNN)North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho on Monday accused US President Donald Trump of declaring war on his country by tweeting over the weekend that North Korea "won't be around much longer."

"Last weekend Trump claimed that our leadership wouldn't be around much longer and declared a war on our country," Ri said, according to an official translation of his remarks to reporters in New York.

"Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make all self-defensive counter measures, including the right to shoot down the United States strategic bombers at any time even when they are not yet inside the aerospace border of our country," Ri said.
A White House spokesman said Monday the Trump administration had no reaction to the comments.
The ongoing war of words between the two nations saw several new fiery salvos on Saturday, a day on which the US military, in a show of force, flew bombers in international airspace over waters east of North Korea.

Speaking at the UN on Saturday, Ri said that Trump had made a missile attack on the US mainland inevitable by insulting the dignity of North Korea.
"None other than Trump himself is on a suicide mission," Ri said in a speech at the UN General Assembly. "In case innocent lives of the US are harmed because of this suicide attack, Trump will be held totally responsible."
Trump took on Twitter Saturday night to respond to Ri's remarks.
"Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at UN If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!" Trump wrote.
CNN's Chieu Luu, Sol Han and Kevin Liptak contributed to this report.

APE chest pounding-----BUT THE USA SHOULD NOT IGNORE IT

If Trump declares war on North Korea some countries will not agree with him and this is what may cause a world conflict already that Macron asks him to keep talking, to negotiate it does not surprise me about him . he is half Democrate what is the equivalent of do nothing

Considering all the parties are technically still at war, (There is only an armistice in force, not a peace treaty) this isn't really big news.

President Trump has not made any statement that the US is declaring war on North Korea. I am beginning to believe that such an announcement from the President could become a reality if something doesn't change soon. If we go to war with North Korea, it won't be long before we'll be at war with China and ultimately Russia. Perilous times are coming and people need to draw near to the LORD while there is still time left.

Things will change radically if North Korea

Attacking aircraft from other countries over neutral territory is an automatic casus belli that would see the rest of the World line up behind the US, regardless of the bluster coming from Trump.

That's something you just. don't do.

This is the threat of North Korea. and I also think a bit like Book of Jeremiah China and Russia would not necessarily be behind the USA.

Kimmy will never see the U.S. war plane that drops a bomb on his ass, much less being able to shoot it down.

Similar to Donald Trump, it is not what Kim says that is worthy of notice but what he does.

Kim is a dictator that has killed members of his own family and maintains prisons that hold families for 2 generations that had (in Kimmy's estimable opinion) the temerity to merely question him. Your comparison is worse than false.

What's the worst case scenario if Trump bombs NK? Could that new death ray the navy announced a month ago be the key to destroying NK missiles before they got out of NK airspace?

It doesn't matter what the WH thinks--what matters is what NK thinks.

And here are the most political wits in the nation, here collected at USMB, ignoring this obvious threat from a nuclear power while they
BITCH ABOUT THE NFL. Wake the fuck up, people, or you're not going to have a flag left to whine about.

Kimmy already declared war against US many, many times.

If Kimmy attacks US he will no longer have a country.....We will.

Like this? I've heard his chest thumping, of course, but this seems different.

The topic is about the prospect of war between the USA and North Korea, not how Kim acts in his own country or with his own family nor how Trump acts towards Mexican-Americans or black Americans. My post relates to the personalities of Kim and Trump and how they are similar in bombast. Kim talks a lot, like Trump, but he has not attacked another country. The same cannot be said about Donald Trump who ordered rockets to be fired at Syria.
