North Korea MOCKS America - ‘Your army might startle a jellyfish but NOT US!’
NORTH Korea has mocked America with a bizarre taunt as tension continues to rise in Kim Jong-un’s hermit kingdom.
Kim Jong-un said America's army would only scare a jellyfish
The rogue state lashed out at Donald Trump and his US army today - saying they were not afraid by the strongest military force on the planet.
A propaganda newspaper, acting as a mouthpiece for Kim Jong-un’s secretive government, said today America was making a mistake by moving their forces to South Korea.
It came after US soldiers carried out joint military drills in South Korea and Mr Trump ordered a nuclear-armed Navy strike group to approach the peninsula.
Such threat may startle a jellyfish, but can never work on the DPRK
The North Korea newspaper said today: “Such threat may startle a jellyfish, but can never work on the DPRK. The US had better recognise this.
“It is no more than a bluff that the US gets busy deploying nuclear carrier task forces under the eyes of the nuclear power in the East.”
“It would be a fatal mistake of the US to think it can browbeat the DPRK with such nuclear carrier.”
The piece said America was trying to intimidate North Korea into freezing its nuclear war programme but vowed to continue anyway.

It said, if further provoked, North Korea would mercilessly punish its Western enemies.
It said: “It is a wicked design of the U.S. to shake the DPRK's will for increased nuclear deterrent through intensive military threat and blackmail.

“If the enemies recklessly provoke the DPRK, its revolutionary armed forces will promptly give deadly blows to them and counter any total war with all-out war and nuclear war with merciless nuclear strike of Korean style.
“The DPRK's toughest counteraction will be a fatal punishment that never tolerates the survival of provocateurs.”
