A new message from Pyongyang illustrates North Korea’s delusional impulsivity.

Thursday, in the wake of President Trump meeting President Xi of China for the first time, North Korea’s ambassador to Russia stated overnight that they are prepared to deliver the “most ruthless blow” if the United States enacts any sort of provocation.

President Donald Trump recently discussed beefing up defenses against Pyongyang and went so far as to pledge to Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe on Wednesday that the U.S. would, “continue to strengthen its ability to deter and defend itself and its allies with the full range of its military capabilities.”

The U.S. military stated Tuesday that North Korea’s nuclear weaponry does not represent any threat to North America. Despite this, North Korea is intent on developing a long-range missile in the hopes that it can reach the U.S. mainland. So far Pyongyang has conducted five tests of their nuclear weaponry.
