(Pyongyang) Last week, stung by tough new sanctions imposed by the United Nations over its fission-class nuclear weapons programme, and clearly upset over the support these sanctions have had from its neighbour and recent ally China, North Korea has threatened that it might use its nuclear weapons (presumably attached to ballistic missiles) in a first strike against its enemies, threatening to turn South Korea's capital Seoul and the US capital Washington D.C. into a "sea of fire". On top of that, NK has raised alarm bells in the region by formally ending the "cease fire" which ended the Korean War in 1953, and pulling out of the communications "hot line" between Pyongyang and Seoul which theoretically could prevent a misunderstanding leading to all out war.
This week, in order to show the pocket dictator in North Korea that little boys with little toys are no match for bigger boys with even bigger toys, the US flew a B-52H bomber over South Korea, in which to remind NK that anything they can do, a solitary B-52H can do a lot better (its nuclear weapons capacity includes 12 AGM-129 advanced cruise missiles (ACMS), 20 AGM-86A air-launched cruise missiles (ALCM) and eight bombs).
Naturally, like all bullies, North Korea cried foul play and went sobbing to the media, saying that they had been threatened, but they won't back down and that the will of the North Korean people will prevail. I quote:

The DPRK has made every possible effort to defend the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, exercising its maximum self-restraint. But the premeditated moves of the U.S. bellicose forces to ignite a nuclear war against the DPRK pushed its patience to its limit.Poor North Korea, the ugly ducking which grew into a winged monkey (of the Wizard of Oz fame). The problem is, the state is just mad enough to start a war.
As the U.S. is working hard to provoke a nuclear war, it was entirely just for the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK to have made important decisions including the exercise of its right to make a preemptive nuclear strike at the strongholds of aggressors to protect its supreme interests.
