Kim Jong Un reportedly tells army to prepare for war with US

Kim’s decision was said to have precipitated by a recent joint naval drill conducted by South Korea and the United States ahead of the launch of large-scale military exercises.

North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un has reportedly told his country’s army to prepare for war against the US.

North Korea believes that the joint drills are being carried out to rehearse for an invasion.

"The prevailing situation where a great war for national reunification is at hand requires all the KPA (Korean People's Army) units to become (elite) Guard Units fully prepared for war politically and ideologically, in military technique and materially," Kim said, according to the Korean Central News Agency.

The dictator also reportedly told his army to prepare to "tear to pieces the Stars Stripes."
