North Korea warns of 'actual war', US calls it 'pariah'

GENEVA: North Korea faced a chorus of condemnation on Tuesday for its latest ballistic missile tests but declared that ongoing joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises were aimed at conducting a "pre-emptive nuclear attack" against Pyongyang.
Ju Yong Choi, a North Korean diplomat, told the U.N.-sponsored Conference on Disarmament in Geneva that the annual drills were "a major cause of escalation of tension that might turn into actual war" on the divided Korean peninsula.
"The ongoing joint military exercise is carried out with massive mobilisation of troops, unprecedented in size, and various types of U.S. strategic forces including nuclear carriers, nuclear strategic bombers and Stealth fighters," Ju told the 61-member forum.
"It will certainly jeopardise peace and stability in the region and drive the situation in the Korean peninsula to the brink of nuclear war," he said.
During the stormy 90-minute session, envoys from more than a dozen countries, including North Korea's main ally China, as well as Britain, France, Russia and the United States, condemned North Korea's test-firing of four ballistic missiles on Monday.
Robert Wood, U.S. Disarmament Ambassador, condemned North Korea's tests as its latest violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Pyongyang's weapons programme represented a "clear threat to the national security of every country of the region", he said.
The United States had an "iron-clad commitment to defend its allies" and the joint military exercises carried out with Seoul for more than 40 years were "transparent and defence-oriented".
Referring to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Wood said: "It should be very clear to the DPRK that it is a pariah, it is an outlier, it is in violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions, and that the countries represented in this room are not going to stand by and just let the DPRK violate international law."

We shouldn't this..we shouldn't that..
Cakap memang senang...
Betul ada unsur kebabian dengan cara gomen berlembut dengan NK selama ni..
Tapi bila dah sampai tahap begini, di mana nyawa orang lain jadi taruhan, tapi kau masih nak libatkan permainan politaik kau yang asyik menunding jari, aku rasa kau lebih babi dari gomen.

Political/security blunder. Gov dan intel kita x jangka NK akan held hostage rakyat Malaysia kat san ...
Aku tak faham macam mana boleh "tak jangka" sebabnya bila aku tahu duta kita dah balik, soalan pertama dalam fikiran aku adalah 'dia seorang saja ke? Yang lain macam mana?'... dan aku yakin bukan aku seorang ja yang tertanya2'...aku ni bukannya pandai sangat, tapi otak bengap aku pun boleh tahu sepatutnya semua pulang sebab NK tu gila.
Aku tetap berdiri di belakang gomen dalam hal ni..kerana kita negara berdaulat,. Aku harap gomen tak mudah tunduk dengan karenah NK...cuma jangan beri alasan tak jangka sebab kita berdepan dengan orang gila. Kena jangka dari semua aspek...
Nie pendapat aku jer..mungkin salah...aku kalu mathdir tuk kt tampuk pemerintahan aku rasa selamat n secure... Kalu abang bijan aku rasa mcm tak secure dah mcm hapa jadik kat Malaysia ngan jenayah makin tinggi ditambah lagi ngan kabinet kayu yg bodoh so tawakal n berserah jer la..harap Allah yg tolong Malaysia nie..
Yg pasti Jgn la sampai ada perang perang..iols nak idup aman

Gov sedar ni salah satu tindakan NK boleh buat. Tapi dorang x sangka Jong Un seberani itu memandangkan rakyat NK ramai kat sini. Plus Malaysia buat semua ikut prosedur. Panggil balik duta besar dan halau duta NK yang biadap. NK mana nak ikut prosedur main langgar je jadikan mereka tebusan. Sekarang mungkin try nego thru China. China jela country yang NK nak dengar kata. Tu pun belum tentu China nak tolong. Dorang pun ada hate-love relations ngan NK.
