North Korea accused the U.S. of overreacting to its recent missile test and questioned the sincerity of an offer from Washington to talk

"It is time to engage in sustained and substantive dialogue toward the goal of complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula," Thomas-Greenfield told reporters ahead of a U.N. Security Council meeting over the North's latest missile test.

People watch a TV broadcasting file footage of a news report on North Korea firing a ballistic missile off its east coast, in Seoul, South Korea, October 19, 2021. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji Kim was expected to visit Seoul on Friday for talks with his South Korean counterpart, Yonhap news agency reported on Thursday.

"To criticise the DPRK for developing and test-firing the same weapon system as the one the U.S. possesses or is developing is a clear expression of double standards," the spokesperson said in a statement carried by KCNA.

North Korea Confirms Submarine-Launched Missile Test As White House Warns Against Further ‘Provocations’Submarine-launched missiles are harder to detect and could pose a significant threat to South Korea and U.S. forces in the region. Honestly I should get a submarine instead of Twitter for attention and validation. Why doesn't America stop warning already and attempt a retaliation so we take popcorn and watch? Provocations? Why? Since Britain and the US can not abide by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, why must China and Russia abide by it? Australia can obtain nuclear submarines, as can countries such as Iran, 🇲🇾, Indonesia and North Korea.
