The army "is ready to conduct a total war." This statement issued Friday by the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un causes drowsiness. It shows the situation in which there is tension on the Korean peninsula. Because even if the North Korean regime is customary aggressive ads, so firmly in what is rarely reached. Threatening also clear breach of the peace with his counterpart from South, Pyongyang seeks to show his disagreement after the new sanctions passed by the Security Council of the UN. Although its ally China called "calm and restraint" North Korea has said his side to end the non-aggression agreements with the South.

Indeed, Pyongyang has threatened to denounce the armistice agreement ending the Korean War in 1953. But Kim Jong-un also brandished the specter of a "thermonuclear war" and warned the United States that it risked a "preventive nuclear strike." Friday, the regime has indicated, a few hours after the Security Council vote, he now considered as null and void "all non-aggression agreements between the North and the South." Pact The main non- aggression between North and South, separated for over six decades, was signed in 1991. He urged the two countries to resolve their differences peacefully and avoid accidental military confrontation.

"A nuclear war could break out"

North Korea "shall also notify the South it will immediately turn red phone" set up between the two countries in 1971, said "the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea" (CPRK) in a statement. The Security Council of the UN imposed Thursday new sanctions against North Korea in response to its third atomic test. Resolution 2094 was adopted unanimously by its 15 members and measures are essentially economic. These are in addition to a series of sanctions against the communist regime since he conducted its first nuclear test in 2006, followed by a second in 2009 and third last February 12.

For its part, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on North Korea to "refrain from any further action to avoid destabilizing and bellicose rhetoric." Relations between the North and South "are no longer repairable and an extremely dangerous situation prevailing on the Korean peninsula where a nuclear war could break out at any moment," warned the CPRK. A situation that is to say Paik Hak-Soon, a researcher at Sejong Institute in Seoul, "this is probably the most dangerous situation since the Korean War." The state of war is not far away.
