We will attack the U.S with Nuclear weapons if they force us to do so - North Korea

 

Deputy director of North Korea Park Yong-Chol, had a 2 hour interview with CNN and  think tank the Institute for Research into National Reunification on thursday. CNN said they were given conditions on the basis that two portraits of former leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il were visible behind Park during filming before they were allowed to conduct the interview. In the interview, North Korea has threatened the United States Of America that they will attack them with nuclear weapons if the country “forces it to do so”.

 

During the interview Park Yong-Chol claimed that North Korea was nuclear-capable and equipped with long-range missiles that could reach mainland US.

 

“We are equipped with nuclear arsenals, “We may use them if we are forced by the US to do so.”

 

Park Yong-Chol claimed North Korean society “has no political strife, factions or political division” and therefore there was no need for the term “political prisoner”and he also denied the existence of brutal political camps detailed in a shocking report on human rights by the United Nations.

 

"If you talk about human rights in my country, I will talk about human rights in the United States, "You have racial riots taking place in the wake of the killing of so many black people by the police. You have prisons full of inmates and new techniques of torture being used.

"The US President and other high-ranking administration officials have acknowledged really severe forms of punishment on inmates in detention.”
