25 Sep North Korea Says US Has Declared War And They Will “Shoot Down US Bombers”

As we all know, last week President Donald Trump threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea in a UN speech, and then this weekend, he extended the travel restrictions for all North Koreans travelling to the US.

Well, now North Korea has responded, and their comments are incredibly disturbing. The nation has maintained that it is permitted to shoot down US bombers, even if they aren’t in North Korean airspace.

Pyongyang’s foreign minister, Ri Yong Ho, clarifies that the reason his country would be authorized to do so is because Trump’s speech to the UN was a “declaration of war”. He claims that North Korea is under threat from the US:

“The whole world should clearly remember it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country.

Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country.

The question of who won’t be around much longer will be answered then…”

The final comment being a direct response to Trump’s tweet in which he said: “Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won’t be around much longer!”

US bombers and military jets have flown to the furthest point north of the border between North and South Korea by any US military aircraft in a century. This was to showcase military power of the US, the Pentagon has stated.

The Pentagon revealed how B-1B bombers from Guam, along with F-15C Eagle fighter escorts from Okinawa, Japan, flew in international airspace over waters east of North Korea this past Saturday.

B-1 bombers may no longer be part of the US nuclear force, but they are capable of dropping devastating numbers of conventional explosives.
