North Korea says war is inevitable

North Korea says a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula has become a matter of when, not if, as it continued to lash out at a massive joint military exercise between the United States and South Korea. In comments attributed to an unnamed Foreign Ministry spokesperson, North Korea also claimed high-ranked U.S. officials, including CIA director Mike Pompeo, have further confirmed American intent for war with a series of “bellicose remarks.” Pompeo said Saturday that U.S. intelligence agencies believe North Korean leader Kim Jong Un doesn’t have a good idea about how tenuous his situation is domestically and internationally.
