North Korea has been vocal in the recent weeks threatening to launch nuclear weapons. Along with the threats to the United States, North Korea have begun testing the launch of their missiles. To date, each launch has been a failure. However, North Korea has stated they will continue with their tests on a regular basis.
During a visit to South Korea, United States Vice President Mike Pence warned North Korea not to test the US. Pence further stated that America’s “era of strategic patience” with North Korea was over.
From BBC News:
The country’s foreign minister threatened the US with an “all out war” if Trump is “reckless enough to use military means” in a terrifying show of force from the hermit state.
“We’ll be conducting more missile tests on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis,” Vice-Foreign Minister Han Song-ryol told the BBC’s John Sudworth.
He said that an “all-out war” would result if the US took military action.

The United States Vice President Pence arrived in Seoul on Sunday hours after North Korea carried out a failed missile launch.
Tensions have been escalating on the peninsula, with heated rhetoric from both North Korea and the US.
Speaking at a press conference from Pyongang, Song-Ryal said it is “crystal clear” Trump is “hell bent” on prompting war with North Korea.
He added: “A nuclear war could break out at any moment on the Korean Peninsula.
“The United States are disturbing the peace and global stability, insisting in a gangster logic.”
It was earlier revealed most of North Korea’s military bases are buried deep underground and in mountains.
Experts say it is the most heavily-fortified country in the world.
