Chance of war between North Korea and the U.S.A.?

 

On April 19, Kim Jong Un smiled and waved to the cheering crowd in front of him while displaying a terrifying simulation of a nuclear weapon bombing an American city. 

 

North Korea put on a musical show to celebrate the birthday of the country's founding father. Kim Jong-Un, North Korea's leader, attended the ceremony. At the end of the celebration, a footage was shown of North Korea's weapons engulfing the United States in flames.

 

The footage showed the missile being launched from a navy fleet, followed by a catastrophic explosion. After the explosion was the haunting image of a burning American flag, surrounded by graves, and then the bright flag of North Korea, proudly hoisted against the wind. The large crowd cheered, and some went as far as to give a standing ovation at the propaganda of destruction and death. 

 

Although North Korea regularly threatens to destroy the United States, tension has arisen lately with conflicts between Russia and the United States. US Vice President Mike Pence said that the "era of strategic patience" with North Korea is over, and assured that any form of attack would be met with "overwhelming response."
