North Korea is "ready to sink" a US aircraft carrier heading for the peninsula, state media have said.

A commentary in the Rodong Sinmun newspaper warned that the USS Carl Vinson could be sunk "with a single strike".

A battle group headed by the Vinson is expected off the peninsula this week.

It was despatched by President Donald Trump amid a warning that US "strategic patience" over the North's nuclear ambitions had come to an end.

Tension also rose after a recent failed missile test by the North and a massive military parade showing off its latest hardware.

Sunday's commentary in Rodong Sinmun, the mouthpiece of the ruling Workers' Party, followed a feature on leader Kim Jong-un's inspection of a pig farm.

"Our revolutionary forces are combat-ready to sink a US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a single strike," the commentary read, saying that the attack on what it called a "gross animal" would be "an actual example to show our military's force".

State newspaper Minju Joson echoed this, warning the army would "deal merciless destructive blows at the enemies so that they would not come back to life again".

Rodong Sinmun was equally outspoken last week after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, on a tour of Asian nations, said the US was "reviewing all the status of North Korea, both in terms of state sponsorship of terrorism as well as the other ways in which we can bring pressure on the regime in Pyongyang".

Rodong Sinmun replied: "In the case of our super-mighty pre-emptive strike being launched, it will completely and immediately wipe out not only the US imperialists' invasion forces in South Korea and its surrounding areas but the US mainland and reduce them to ashes."

The North also threatened to strike Australia with nuclear weapons if it remained an ally of the US.

North Korea says its nuclear programme is defensive but it is trying to develop weapons small enough to put on ballistic missiles. There is no evidence yet it has done so or that it has missiles with the range to reach long-distance targets.

The Vinson battle group was conducting joint exercises with the Japanese navy in the Philippine Sea on Sunday.

They aren't talking to us. They're talking to their citizens. They know they're some backwards little country who only exists because China has the US's balls in an economic vicegrip.

I'm at the point now where I want them to try something, they're so incredibly laughable with the threats and claims that they push on their local media. <3


if they try something, likely going to regret it.
1st strike gets the blame.

It's not that easy.

It would be China, Russia, Iran and North Korea vs US

If NK actually starts anything, China won't help them. They only put up with NK because they want a buffer zone between them and any US ally.

Yeah, that was an uneducated statement. Neither Russia or China are going to start a war with US over North Korea solosis

Yup, they're gonna throw Kim under the bus. Or better yet, even help us take him out for rocking the boat.

It makes no sense to get into a war with a country whose missiles don't work, but whose bullets and artillery probably do.

You haven't been paying attention lately, have you? China is distancing themselves from NK.

Yeah China isn't going to sacrifice all their shit over NK. They are mostly worried about refugees and such because it's going to take about five minutes to wreck Kim's shit. Trump needs to do what Reagan did to Gaddafi and fucking level the dudes shit

Did anyone tell them that we have a dozen more?

The US navy has roughly the same amount of aircraft carriers as every other country on the planet combined.
