Fighting Talk

"The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK [North Korea]...will mobilise all means including the nuclear deterrent...should the US imperialists and the south Korean puppet warmongers dare intrude into the inviolable sky, land and seas of the DPRK even 0.001mm." Reportedly said by North Korea's Joint Chief, General Ri Yong-Ho (on or around 24th April 2010). --- We call this kind of language "fighting talk". Note that "0.001mm" means "one thousandth of a millimetre" (if my mathematics serves me right) - rather a precise distance to measure, but no doubt spoken hyperbolically.

I have always liked these North Korean hyperbolic propagandas.. Not sure what North Korean people feel, or think about such messages, but I think it is meant as a kind of propaganda, since it's so hyperbolic.. To raise their own faith.

But no doubt, that it's always so funny and refreshing to hear/read them. :)
