North Korean Photos Show Plans for Attack on US
'The time has come to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists'

The United States Thursday flew two B-2 Spirit bombers more than 6,500 miles from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to South Korea to drop dummy bombs as part of the on going US-South Korea war games, the U.S Forces in Korea said in a statement.
Now, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has responded in anger announcing Friday that "the time has come to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists in view of the prevailing situation" by "physical means."
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) released photos Friday showing the young North Korean leader in his war room early this morning with his senior generals signing off on a plan to ready his forces to target the U.S. mainland.

In the enlarged photo below, according to NK NEWS, the text reads "U.S. Mainland Strike Plan" and a larger map towards the back of the command center appears to show the Western coast of the United States.

And an NK-News composite overlay shows San Diego, Washington D.C., Hawaii and possibly Austin as being primary targets in a North Korean attack plan:

Later Friday in Pyongyang, tens of thousands of North Koreans turned out for a mass rally in support of Kim's call to arms. Men and women stood in arrow-straight lines, fists raised as they chanted, "Death to the U.S. imperialists" and "Let's rip the puppet traitors to death!"

An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, It’s been nearly 30 years since I co-founded Common Dreams with my late wife, Lina Newhouser. We had the radical notion that journalism should serve the public good, not corporate profits. It was clear to us from the outset what it would take to build such a project. No paid advertisements. No corporate sponsors. No millionaire publisher telling us what to think or do. Many people said we wouldn't last a year, but we proved those doubters wrong. Together with a tremendous team of journalists and dedicated staff, we built an independent media outlet free from the constraints of profits and corporate control. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good. Building Common Dreams was not easy. Our survival was never guaranteed. When you take on the most powerful forces—Wall Street greed, fossil fuel industry destruction, Big Tech lobbyists, and uber-rich oligarchs who have spent billions upon billions rigging the economy and democracy in their favor—the only bulwark you have is supporters who believe in your work. But here’s the urgent message from me today. It's never been this bad out there. And it's never been this hard to keep us going. At the very moment Common Dreams is most needed, the threats we face are intensifying. We need your support now more than ever. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. When everyone does the little they can afford, we are strong. But if that support retreats or dries up, so do we. Will you donate now to make sure Common Dreams not only survives but thrives? —Craig Brown, Co-founder |
