North Korea Threatens Nuclear Strike Against the US If Regime Change Attempted

This shouldn’t come as any surprise considering the main reason for the Kim regime’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is to prevent regime change:

North Korea will launch a nuclear strike at the heart of the United States if Americans attempt a regime change in Pyongyang, the North’s state news agency said Tuesday in denunciation of recent remarks by the Central Intelligence Agency director.

In a forum last week, Mike Pompeo, the chief of the U.S. intelligence agency, alluded to the possibility of a regime change in North Korea by saying that the most important thing the U.S. can do is “separate (nuclear) capacity and someone who might well have (nuclear) intent and break those two apart.”

“Should the U.S. dare to show even the slightest sign of attempt to remove our supreme leadership, we will strike a merciless blow at the heart of the U.S. with our powerful nuclear hammer, honed and hardened over time,” the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, quoting a spokesman of the North Korean foreign ministry.

The report said Pompeo’s remarks “have gone over the line, and it has now become clear that the ultimate aim of the Trump administration … is the regime change.”  [Yonhap]
