Here they go again
Pyongyang has ordered rocket units be put on standby to fire on US bases in the South Pacific. ?The time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists in view of the prevailing situation,? North Korean leader declared, according to state media.
It follows a US B-2 flyover of South Korea that saw dummy ammunition dropped as part of a joint military drill Thursday.
The North Korean leader and army marshal Kim Jong-un declared that ?the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK would react to the US nuclear blackmail with a merciless nuclear attack, and war of aggression with an all-out war of justice,? according to KCNA.
The decree placing the Strategic Rocket Force on standby was signed following an urgent meeting of the military command early Friday morning, according to North Korean media. The plan suggests that ballistic rockets would be permanently targeted at American military installations in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, as well as those in South Korea.
Pyongyang also showed off the country?s military capabilities to its own citizens: On photos published in national newspaper Rodong, Kim Jong-un is signing a ready order at an emergency military meeting in what appears to be a military command room. In certain shots, a plan for a nuclear strike on the US mainland can be seen on a wall to the right of the North Korean leader.

And Russia is warning that this could get out of control
The North Korean situation could spiral out of control, Russia has warned, after another day of inflamed rhetoric from Pyongyang.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned of a "vicious circle" and told all sides to avoid unilateral action.
On Thursday, the North threatened to "settle accounts" and said it had put missiles on stand-by to hit the US.
The US, which flew stealth bombers over South Korea this month, condemned the North's "bellicose rhetoric".
