PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — A new North Korean video portrays President Barack Obama and American troops in flames and says the North conducted its recent nuclear test because of U.S. hostility.

The video follows a string of critical rhetoric against the United States. Another video posted earlier this month showed an American city being attacked by missiles.

The most recent video, posted Sunday by a YouTube account affiliated with a pro-reunification government agency, shows a blazing fire superimposed over footage of Obama, and ends with a generic simulation of a nuclear device exploding underground.

The United States currently is negotiating in the Security Council for stronger U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang following a Feb. 12 nuclear test in the far northeast, the country's third since 2006.

George Bush warned us about North Korea, including it on the Axis Of Evil.

Time will tell, but as NUTS as that goofy so-called leader is of NK, coulb be something to it

"the North conducted its recent nuclear test because of U.S. hostility."?? Have we not been feeding his people for yrs?

Unless China does a 180 on North Korea there isn't much that can be done, but we certainly shouldn't be giving them any freebies.

The bulk of the north korens are starving and in the dark. most don't even have electricty 24/7 the only fat ones are the army and those releated to such. pull up one of those maps that shows the lights over the world N. Korea is dark.So well Socialism works for those at the top.

When I was in Korea in the 80's, we went on alert and were told that NK breached the DMZ. We were issued live ammo and grenades right there on the spot and geared up to move out. My stomach had never been so far up into my throat. If NK did a full breach they could go down, and perhaps past, the Pusan perimeter again. We now have very few troops there, but the ROK soldiers are much better than they were before.

The leaders (Kim's) of NK are nuts, but full of hot air and posturing. Just peacocks for the most part, but you never know when he may snap.

True, I think I read that we only have around 23,000 troops there and many of them are not combat troops. The ROK is much better equipped and trained than they were in 1950 but I doubt they could hold off the NK's million man army for very long. The west would have to do some fast and fancy deployment to stop them from pushing to Pusan again. I'm not sure if China would get in it again or not and that's a huge problem for the west.
That's my point, China is going to have to decide long they are going to prop up NK, it has to be costing them really big bucks, of course a lot of that money is coming from us ......

You sure got that right, NP! See http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0011/earthlights_dmsp_big.jpg

You can clearly see where the boundry is between the north & south.

Even Cuba has more light pollution and it was pitch black in many spots when I was there. Walking down the streets at night felt like a war zone.

North Korea envoy warns South of 'final destruction'
South Korea faces "final destruction" if Seoul and its allies continue to push for tougher UN resolutions against North Korea's nuclear programme, Pyongyang warned on Tuesday.

"We have never recognised the propagandist resolutions on sanctions by the UN Security Council," North Korean envoy Jon Yong Ryong told a session of the UN Conference on Disarmament.

"As the saying goes, 'a newborn puppy knows no fear of a tiger.' South Korea's erratic behaviour could only herald its final destruction," he insisted.

North and South Korea traditionally trade barbs at the UN forum - which meets regularly in Geneva and focusses on a raft of global arms-control issues.

But in the wake of North Korea's latest nuclear test last week and a global outpouring of condemnation, the rhetoric was unusually high-pitched Tuesday.

Last week's test was North Korea's most powerful to date, with Pyongyang claiming a breakthrough with a "miniaturised" device
