China To U.S. And North Korea If War Breaks There Will Be No Winner

We Are Change

Amid tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, as speculation mounts, Pyongyang may carry out a new nuclear test, China has warned conflict could erupt “at any given moment” between the two countries warning there would be “no winner” if war occurs.

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated the North Korea problem “will be taken care of” with or without China’s support. In recent days the U.S. has sent the U.S. Carlson and its strike group storming toward the reclused country. The Pentagon is prepping for a massive electrical grid failure.

With NBC warning, the U.S. may issue a pre-emptive strike against North Korea if North Korea tests a nuclear missile.

The report added that two American destroyers are within striking distance of the area, with one armed and ready about 300 miles from North Korea’s nuclear test site if DPRK decides to issue a test launch.

Other journalist called the report outright “totally wrong” and “extremely dangerous” edging on war.

U.S. officials have said that any strike would seek South Korea’s permission.

South Korea foreign minister Yun Byung said U.S. officials have “repeatedly reaffirmed that” the U.S. “will closely discuss with South Korea its North Korea-related measures.”

“In fact, the U.S. is working to reassure us that it will not, just in case that we might hold such concerns.”

President Trump on Thursday tweeted that he has “great confidence that China will properly deal with North Korea.”

“If they are unable to do so, the U.S., with its allies, will! USA,” the president tweeted.

“Lately, tensions have risen … and one has the feeling that a conflict could break out at any moment,” China’s foreign minister Wang Yi said. Adding, “If a war occurs, the result is a situation in which everybody loses and there can be no winner.”

North Korea has responded stating they have their own pre-emptive strike plans against the U.S. if Washington continues its enticing of conflict in the region.

Vice Minister Han Song Ryol on Friday told The Associated Press that President Trump’s tweets were part of a “vicious cycle” of escalated tensions in the region, adding that North Korea will continue to stockpile more nuclear warheads and improve on the country’s nuclear program.

“We’ve got a powerful nuclear deterrent already in our hands, and we certainly will not keep our arms crossed in the face of a U.S. pre-emptive strike,” Han said. “Whatever comes from the U.S., we will cope with it. We are fully prepared to handle it.”

The North Korean army has additionally vowed a “merciless retaliatory strike” in response to any U.S. provocation. Adding that the administration of President Donald Trump had “entered the path of open threat and blackmail against the DPRK.”

Citing Washington’s recent missile strike in Syria, the statement said that U.S. military bases in South Korea as well as Seoul’s presidential Blue House “would be pulverized within a few minutes”.

“The closer such big targets as nuclear powered aircraft carriers come (to the Korean peninsula), the greater would be the effect of merciless strikes.”

“By relentlessly bringing in a number of strategic nuclear assets to the Korean peninsula, the US is gravely threatening the peace and safety and driving the situation to the brink of a nuclear war,” North Korea’s statement said.
