According to the source, Kim Jong-un also said, “The country will be under martial law starting from midnight January 29th and all the frontline and central units should be ready for war.

  1. North Korea, Iran, Israel, SHTF is looking very possible.

  2. My initial thought is: Better now, than later, as it relates to the US, since as time passes Obammy will DILUTE our Armed Forces to mere wimps with the miitary threat of Iceland….

  3. I think Mini Me 3 has a strong survival instinct, does not want TPTB to waste him but he has to prove to the Generals of that country that he is strong.  The generals are very rich and want to protect their turf.  Mini Me 3 is on shaky ground and certainly dangerous, taking pot shots at SK and generally making an ass of himself. The North Korean people are going through another serious famine given crop failures last year  So anything is possible including MM3 selling parts or complete nukes to the ME.  A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you just bought yourself a very large firecracker.  MM3 needs to prove they can go bang.

  4. Not really sure how I feel about this…. considering I live 495 miles from Pyongyang.

  5. I have previously stated being out here in the South Pacific can be nice at times. However, just with all the military maneuvers going on with all the loud booms. Just makes you wonder if there are on alert. 

    • Thanks Ranger, you are not the only one. I don’t know if I feel safer knowing that I live right next to a pretty large Chinese Air Force Academy or if I feel less safe because it is a potential target.
       
      All I know is that the Chinese are starting to get ticked off at the NKoreans and their shenanigans. They want to do everything they can to keep their economy growing and if that means that they have to stop supporting North Korea, they may well end up snipping ties.
       
      Kim Jung Ung is really nothing more than a paper tiger.

  6. Considering it’s the sensationalist RT, I’m not banking on this as a highly credible story. We’ll see NK declares war on us all in the coming days. If they did, I’d be tempted to think that NK is actually in the West’s pocket, as war is usually a tool which bails out the wealthy of the world instead of letting them stew in the pot of shit they made. In other words, war will only help the financiers. If NK wanted to be smart, it would position themselves to take advantage of the demise of the West.

  7. In North Korea, is declaring martial law really any different than their “normal” way of life? 

    • It just might be. Considering almost the entire population attempts to live their lives pretending that everything is hunky dory everyday…but then again, that statement also applies to most Americans. Interesting.

    • Yes, I would say that Americans were the closest to reality during Washington’ s time as president just after the Revolution war (minus the issue with slavery, yet they knew it was wrong, but they wanted to resolve the issue through diplomacy). Then probably post World War II was the next best thing in terms of people perceiving what reality is; (minus FDR taking the convertability of Gold away for citizens and FDR’s whole dictatorship that he established). Now we are more lost than ever in understanding history, and because of this our future is in grave danger. We can either choose to reconcile and be redeemed or we can carry on pretending everything is fine.
       
      In terms of North Koreans. Their world view is totally distorted from the inside out versus the American world view being distorted from the outside in. You see, in America you can actually find reality if you so “choose” to. In North Korea, there is no choice. 

    • This was my thought also. 
      Martial law would be a step down from where they’re at.

  14. QE printing until the unemployment rate hits 5.8%   Riiiiight!
    President Kirchner needs a distraction.   Attack the Malvinas–uh, I mean Falklands  Sorry Maggie
    Appearance of weakness by Obama is emboldening every adversary.  SHTF is assured.  Maybe a few weeks, maybe less. Bunkering, stock some gas, water and food if those are not on your ‘to do’ list.  Just sayin’
    PS watch for some real and/or false flag terrist attacks in the homeland. Warning flags are up for ‘lone wolf’ types
    If those happen, the consequences to us from the SOB in the WH and his DHS homies could get really dicey.
