North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un told his military leaders during a meeting on Sunday to mobilize the most powerful means to destroy South Korea and the U.S. if either country chooses to go to war, according to state media reports.<\/p>\n

Kim warned the leaders of the dangers of an armed confrontation that is quickly becoming a reality on the Korean peninsula.<\/p>\n

He blamed maneuvers by the U.S. and other enemies, which would require North Korea to “sharpen the sword” to protect itself.<\/p>\n

“If they chose military confrontation and set the fire, we must mobilize all the most powerful means\u2026to deal a crushing blow and completely destroy them,” Kim was quoted as saying by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).<\/p>\n

Kim has been in communication with both Chinese President Xi Jinping and\u00a0Russian President Vladimir Putin \u2014 to meet the latter face to face, the supreme leader made a rare trip out of the country by train.<\/p>\n
