NORTH Korea issued a chilling threat to Donald Trump warning US forces will never get into their impenetrable fortress.

The North warned that its line of defence cannot be breached by anything the US President has in his arsenal.

The North Korean government also vowed to continue their fight against the US in the face of Trumps perceived aggression on the peninsula.

Speaking through the state-sponsored Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the government said: "The US and its followers adhered to its largest-ever nuclear threats and scheme for pressure and sanctions to rob us of everything we cherish.

Our line of defense is an impregnable fortress

But our line of defense is an impregnable fortress.

The statement comes as Kim celebrates the first anniversary since being elected the chairman of the countrys ruling party.

North Korea's state media praised Kim's accomplishments, saying the country has withstood what it calls "US nuclear blackmail and sanctions".

The country's main newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, echoed the KCNA statement saying the country would never give up its nuclear weapons.

"At a time when we are going eyeball to eyeball with the US, the current grave situation on the peninsula calls for ceaselessly marching toward implementing tasks unveiled at the party congress," the paper read.

We cherish nuclear deterrents and will not give up them whatever people say.

As Donald Trump has promised to start an arms race, we take a look at the futuristic weapons being developed for the US military.

Kim has suffered two embarrassing missile test failures in recent weeks.

But the tubby tyrant has hit out at claims the US hacked his launches, vowing to carry out weekly missile tests in defiance.

Meanwhile, Trumps troops have carried out large-scale exercises on the despots doorstep.

And his armada headed by the USS Carl Vinson is in the sea of Japan as a stark reminder to the dictator that total war is an ever present option.

North Korea WW3: Kim Jong-un tells Trump he will NEVER penetrate 'impregnable fortress' - Daily Star

A US official has said China "must be prepared to topple Kim Jong-un" or Donald Trump will take it into his own hands.

Condoleezza Rice, US Secretary of State under George W. Bush, said China must be prepared for instability on its border pledging a US intervention if it fails to act.

She said in order to deal with Kim Jong-un's threats you have to change the Chinese calculus.

"You have to say to China, even if you have to take very tough steps that might ultimately collapse the regime, you have to take steps because we will if you don't," Ms Rice said.

Theyre worried most about the collapse of the regime, and their long border and instability on their border.

And I think that's the message that you're starting to see.

Ms Rice warned that the tubby tyrant is "unstable" and his attempts at nuclear armament should not go unpunished.

That cannot be countenanced by any American President," she added.

I don't care who's in the White House."

As his people starve in gulags, North Korean tyrant Kim Jong-un is renowned for his extravagant and luxurious lifestyle. Basketball player Dennis Rodman, who spent time with the dictator, said "Everything you want, he has the best"

War between the US and North Korea is creeping ever closer as the war of words between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un intensifies.

Trump's "armada" is currently carrying out large-scale exercises in the sea of Japan near the Korean peninsula.

While Kim Jong-un has promised "weekly" missile tests in the face of perceived US aggression.

WW3 North Korea: US tells China to 'topple Kim Jong-un OR ELSE' - Daily Star

Is their prediction accurate?

The hacktivist group Anonymous has put out a new video predicting the imminent start of World War 3. The flashpoint, they say is North Korea, and that once conflict erupts there, it will quickly escalate to include the rest of the world. How accurate is this prediction, and what does Anonymous know that we don't?

Does Anonymous know something we don't?

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) -- A six-minute video from the hacktivist collective, Anonymous claims the world is on the brink of World War 3. Their spokesperson wearing the signature Guy Fawkes mask and with their voice disguised, lists the details and circumstances that will lead to world war.

They point out warnings across the region. Japan warned its civilians they may only have 10 minutes to take shelter should North Korea launch a rocket at the country. South Korea warned it would be impossible to protect its civilians from a surprise artillery strike from the North, whose artillery is just 35 miles from Seoul. An estimated 10,000 to 40,000 people could lose their lives within the first hour. China has asked its citizens to leave North Korea entirely.

China and Russia have also moved troops to the North Korean border, ostensibly to intercept and aid any refugees who cross from the North in event of war.

President Trump's surprise test of a Minuteman III missile from Vandenburg AFB also came up, as a demonstration of U.S. power.

Finally, the hacktivists mentioned talks between the U.S.A., Philippines, and Australia as well as the deployment of forces in northern Australia.

Does Anonymous know something we don't? It doesn't seem so. Every evidence they cited above is public information, well known to anyone paying attention.

So is the world really on the brink of world war?

Not likely, according to most analysis. While North Korea seems unwilling to back down from their nuclear commitment, they have not proceeded with their anticipated test, which a month ago appeared imminent. They have launched several rockets, but none of the launches appear successful. But the North can also learn from failed launches.

It seems China is the key player because North Korea relies on China for most of its resources. China is also the number 1 market for North Korean goods. China has indicated that it is losing patients with the North, and has called upon the Hermit Kingdom to deescalate the situation there. So far, the stern warning from China appears to be working.

Additionally, the U.S. and its allies in the region will need time to prepare. One carrier battle group is probably not enough to attack and cripple the North's offensive capabilities. While the North's nuclear capability can be neutralized, its massive conventional abilities means it can still inflict punishment on South Korea and possibly Japan.

Before the west can think about attacking the North, more naval assets are required in the area, and South Korea and Japan will need warning to protect their civilians. We will see it coming, and so far, it does not appear to be coming.
