“We are in a global situation which is very very close to war! War between United States and Russia and United States and China! … It could very rapidly be not only a war in the Korean peninsula but a war on a global scale. A global thermonuclear war which has to be seen in the context of the greatest financial collapse now spreading across Europe and the United States! Which is what’s driving this push for war!”
–
“The Obama administration is functioning as an asset of the City of London and Wall Street! Who are desperate! They’re panicked. The Cyprus situation … shows the level of panic in the western financial oligarchy! … They’re pushing for wars on a scale which has to be understood as the threat to the Russia, China allies, axis … It’s going for preventing the emergence of the Russia, China, India alliance which is the only combination of nations in the world which could offer an alternative to the totally bankrupt western financial system which is now committing acts of outright genocide … to prevent any alliance of those forces against them! They are willing to provoke regional wars which if the Russia, China, India axis does not back down. They’re willing to go to thermonuclear confrontation … “ – Mike Billington

  Mike Billington said North Korea’s “extreme rhetoric” and South Korea’s “tit-for-tat response” are likely to trigger a “global thermonuclear war which has to be seen in the context of the greatest global financial collapse now spreading across Europe and the United States.”

  “If the North were to carry out another provocation as they have in the past by shelling an Island or something on that scale South Korea is totally capable and ready to respond with a fierce military response,” he told Press TV. On Wednesday, South Korea said it has contingency military plans to employ in case North Korea threatens the safety of South Korean citizens working in a joint industrial zone.

  “We have prepared a contingency plan, including possible military action, in case of a serious situation,” South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said.

  On April 1, South Korean President Park Guen-hye warned North Korea that any provocation would be met with a “strong response” after Pyongyang said it was in a “state of war” with the South. Pyongyang warned that any provocation by Seoul and Washington would trigger an “all-out nuclear war.”
  –
  “We’re in a global situation which is very very close to war,” Billington warned. Seoul and Washington launched a week-long annual joint military maneuver near the Korean Peninsula despite warnings from Pyongyang On March 11. The maneuver involved 10,000 South Korean soldiers and about 3,000 US troops.
  –
  North Korea responded on March 26 by saying that its military should be prepared to attack “all US military bases in the Asia-Pacific region, including the US mainland, Hawaii, and Guam” and South Korea.
  –
  Four days later, Pyongyang announced that it is in a “state of war” with South Korea, warning that any provocation by Seoul and Washington could trigger an all-out nuclear war.

  On March 31, the US sent a guided-missile destroyer to the southwestern coast of the Korean Peninsula to ‘defend against a possible North Korean rocket launch.’
