North Korea said the U.S. is
“begging” for a nuclear war by planning the “largest-ever” joint aerial
drill with South Korea just after concluding an exercise with
nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
“Should the Korean peninsula
and the world be embroiled in the crucible of nuclear war because of the
reckless nuclear war mania of the U.S., the U.S. will have to accept
full responsibility for it,” North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News
Agency said Saturday, citing a statement by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.The statement came after Yonhap News reported that six U.S. Raptor stealth fighters planes arrived in South Korea on Saturday for a joint air drill named “Vigilant Ace” scheduled for Dec. 4 to 8. The F-22s flew into South Korea together in a show of force, and the allies plan to stage simulated attacks on mock North Korean nuclear and missile targets, according to Yonhap.

North Korea’s comments mirror a statement KCNA made last month, saying Washington is
seeking to ignite a nuclear war after U.S. B-1B nuclear strategic
bombers stationed in Guam flew into South Korea to stage a drill.
