North Korea's threats to U.S.-South Korean military

North Korea continues to remain as the top news priority this week. The isolated country issued a warning by phone to a top U.S. commander stationed in South Korea. They promised that the commander’s forces would “meet a miserable destruction” if they continued training with the South Korean forces. This training is an annually-held series of defensive military exercises for the South Korean troops. In recent months, due to the growing tensions with the U.N., United States, China and South Korea, the North Korean government sees these military exercises as “rehearsals for invasion”. Seeing as North Korea hasn’t been very co-operative with the U.N. nor its Chinese ally, I don’t think North Korea is in any position to give any demands to the United States government.
