North Korea threatened to "retaliate against the U.S. with tremendous muscle" if it didn't cancel multinational military exercises scheduled to begin Monday.

"The further Ulchi Freedom Guardian joint military exercises are intensified, the strongest military counteraction the (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) will take to cope with them," a spokesman for North Korea's National Defense Commission (NDC) said Saturday.

While threatening military action is nothing new for the regime (Kim Jong Un told his troops they should be ready to fight a "sacred war" in the days leading up to the exercises in 2012, for example), the rhetoric coming out of Pyongang seems particularly ratcheted-up this time around.

"The army and people of the DPRK are no longer what they used to be in the past when they had to counter the U.S. nukes with rifles," the NDC spokesman continued, saying North Korea "is the invincible power equipped with both [the] latest offensive and defensive means unknown to the world..."

A state television report repeated the claim that this isn't the same old, ill-equipped North Korea that never could stand up to the United States in the past. In fact, this year, they are threatening to attack the U.S. on its own soil.

"If [the] United States wants their mainland to be safe," said a newswoman for the state TV station, KCNA, "then the Ulchi Freedom Guardian should stop immediately."

Now I realize N. Korea always threatens some sort of retaliation during these exercises but doesn't it seem a bit more serious this time around considering N. Korea's recent behavior? Lately they've been planting landmines on S. Korea's side of the DMZ wounding some of their military personnel in which the South has responded by resuming soft power campaigns against the North. On top of that satellite imagery over parts of the region have revealed a second uranium enrichment facility, doubling the speed of their development of nuclear weapons.

Tensions be gettin tense, bruh.

tremendous muscle

it's like that really small guy that's really angry all the time and tries to act tough by threatening to fight everyone

it's like they're still angry over The Interview

North Korea is the Deci of countries

This isn't news

My bad. Can you define news for me for future reference?

Important stuff obviously.

Like North Korea landing on the sun at night time.

I actually want to see them try. Would give us a proper casus belli to finally end that sad excuse for a country.

If anything it would be retaliation on the South and the US would need to participate as part of the defense treaty. They don't even have anything that can make it halfway to Japan.

I hope they attack. I would love a chance to kill me some gook bastards

I'm so scared of their rockets that can't get a mile away from the launch site.

That's some Looney Tunes shit right there.

I'd support north Korea. Kill mericans pls

I would fight for my country. As I wait on the sidelines enjoying popcorn seeing N.K. Get rolled, screwed, and left for dead.

That's like punching the fat kid in school and wondering why he just floored you in one, minor punch.
