JUST IN: North Korea Says War With United States IS HAPPENING

The Hermit Kingdom of North Korea stated that a war with the United States would be a matter of when and not so much if.

The nation has continued to lat out due to a joint military exercise between South Korea and the United States that is going to involve reports of hundreds of airplanes.

In comments attributed to an anonymous Foreign Ministry spokesperson, the country also claimed that high ranking American officials including CIA Director Mike Pompeo have further confirmed American intent for war.

Pompeo stated last week that American intelligence agencies feel that Kim Jong Un does not have a good idea about how “touchy” the situation is on an international scale. The North’s spokesman said Pompeo provoked the country by “impudently criticizing our supreme leadership which is the heart of our people.

“The large-scale nuclear war exercises conducted by the U.S. in succession are creating touch-and-go situation on the Korean Peninsula and series of violent war remarks coming from the U.S. high-level politicians amid such circumstances have made an outbreak of war on the Korean Peninsula an established fact. The remaining question now is: when will the war break out,” the spokesman said.

“We do not wish for a war but shall not hide from it, and should the U.S. miscalculate our patience and light the fuse for a nuclear war, we will surely make the U.S. dearly pay the consequences with our mighty nuclear force which we have consistently strengthened.”

The comments were released late Wednesday evening hours after the United States flew a B-1 Bomber over South Korea as part of the aforementioned military exercises.

“Through the drill, the South Korean and U.S. air forces displayed the allies’ strong intent and ability to punish North Korea when threatened by nuclear weapons and missiles,” the South Korean military said in a statement.
