‘Bury the Entirety of the U.S. Underwater’

North Korea’s state media threatened to “bury the entirety of the U.S. under water [sic]” in a threatening column published Monday, the latest in its ongoing series of existential threats against America.
While the article does not mention it, its authors may have received inspiration for their threat from reports of continued flooding in Houston, Texas following the landing of Hurricane Harvey. The greater Houston area has suffered up to two feet of rain in the past week, with another ten inches expected to fall in coming days.
The South Korean newswire service Yonhap identifies the article in question as a column titled “Only Victory and Glory Would Lie Ahead for the Armed Forces of the Autonomous Navy,” meant to commemorate the anniversary of the establishment of the North Korean navy, reportedly published in state newspaper Rodong Sinmun. Breitbart News could not find the article on the newspaper’s home page at press time, though there can be a lag between the publication of the print and online editions.
The column dismisses the advanced technology the U.S. military has at its disposal as “nothing but a fat metamorphosed animal to the eyes of the naval forces of the Korean People’s Army.”
