North Korea blasts US 'invasion treaty' with South as World War 3 tensions rise

The isolationist nation waited until the 64th birthday of
the Mutual Defence Treaty to state that the agreement
forms the basis of an incoming invasion by the US and
neighbouring South Korea.
Despot leader Kim Jong-un used his puppet
newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, to take aim at the treaty
on Sunday.
The Rodong Sinmun described the agreement as: "a
treaty embedded with a plot to actualise their delusion
to invade North Korea”.
The paper added: "The Mutual Defence Treaty is
explicitly implanted with the US' reckless ambition for
invasion as it aims to trigger a war of invasion into
North Korea at any time.

"The invasion war treaty should be abolished without
delay."
The Mutual Defence Treaty states that if either the US
or South Korea is faced with an external armed attack
- the other will come to the attacked country’s aid.
The positioning of US troops in South Korea is justified
by the treaty - this is one of the biggest reasons for
Pyongyang’s recent condemnation.
The agreement was signed on 1 October, 1953 - two
months later the Korean Armistice was signed that
formally ended the Korean war.

No peace treaty was ever signed between the North
and South, meaning the two countries are still
technically at war.
The damning of the age-old treaty comes at a time
when the US and North Korea sit on the brink of
starting World War 2.
North Korea recently accused the US of declaring war
after a recent tweet from Donald Trump lashed out at
the hermit state.
President Trump wrote: "Just heard Foreign Minister of
North Korea speak at UN. If he echoes thoughts of
Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!"
In response, North Korea’s Foreign Minister, Ri Yong
Ho, claimed the country will take aim at any further
bombers, even if they occupy international airspace.
Since the feud, the US has denied declaring war on
North Korea with White House press secretary Sarah
Sanders claiming accusations made were “absurd”.

Yesterday North Korea issued a major threat against
neighbour Japan.
The rogue state, which has fired two rockets over
Japanese territory this year, sent the warning "you will
pay for your crimes".

Tokyo which was a reference to past government-
general rule over Korea enforced by Japan.
