North Korea’s British ambassador held a rare public appearance and told reporters that his nation’s nuclear weapons were ten times as powerful as the bomb the fell on Hiroshima and his nation would not be afraid to use them.
“Sixty years ago during the Korean War the DPRK stood against the US with rifles but today it has full capability to deter the latest nuclear threat with nuclear power,” Hyon Hak-bong told reporters. “It is a new reality that the DPRK is prepared to counter any kind of war chosen by the US. Conventional war by conventional war and nuclear war by nuclear war.”
He also said that if war takes place, the conflict will not be limited to Korea.
“If a war breaks out, its calamity and destructiveness will be totally different to that of the 1950s,” Hak-bong said. “The range of the war will not only be limited to boundaries of the Korean peninsula. Nuclear warheads with their explosive power tens of times greater than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima will be flying across the Pacific Ocean.”
The statements from the British ambassador came on the heels of new British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn saying he has a vision for a “nuclear-free world.”
