N. Korea ready to sink US aircraft carrier with a ‘single strike’ -- official paper
2017-04-24
[RT] North Korea has vowed to sink the USS Carl Vinson, which is scheduled to arrive in the waters around the Korean peninsula "within days." Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Count Guido stepped from behind the suit of armor, rapier in hand. Ciccolini snarled and reached for his own weapon...
Japan said two of its ships have joined the aircraft carrier group for a "joint exercise."

"Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a US nuclear powered aircraft carrier with a single strike," according to Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party, as cited by Rooters.

The newspaper reportedly called the vessel a "gross animal," while saying that sinking it would be "an actual example to show our military’s force."

The aircraft carrier group should arrive in waters along the Korean Peninsula "within days," US Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday, without giving any specific details.

#7  3-5000 dead in a single strike on the greatest seagoing technological marvel in the world? That will give all the little nibblers more than a little hope of success.

#5  New North Korean stealth missiles have tested weekly for some time without anybody being able to spot them proving they are a great success.

Or so Great Leader was no doubt informed.

#3  Is this the "super-mighty" strike previously threatened ? Does it cause sea of fire effects and destroy running dog Yankee imperialists like the older stuff?

#2  The major irony blast came in with this newspaper sabre rattling with "gross animal" commentary being on page 3 of Rodung Sinmun, and pages 1 & 2 being devoted to breathless coverage of Kimmie's inspection of a pig farm.
Sounds like somebody got stuck in rut, but I'm not sure who or which one.
