ЧТО НОВОГО? /WHAT’S NEW?/North Korea Boasts of Ability to Destroy US Military in 'Single Blow' VOA, 25.04.2012North Korea is boasting of “powerful, modern weapons” that can defeat in a single blow the United States, which it accuses of plotting a war against it. Chief of general staff, Ri Yong Ho, gave no further details about the weaponry in his speech to mark the North Korean army's 80th anniversary. His address, from Pyongyang's House of Culture, was broadcast later in the day on North Korean television. Vice Marshal Ri says the blood of North Korea's military and civilians is boiling in anger with a desire for revenge against South Korea's president, Lee Myung-bak. He reiterates a threat of “sacred war,” transmitted earlier in the week, to crush the bases of provocation in the South.
