The war on the Korean peninsula is inevitable. It's just a matter of time. This statement was published by the official North Korean Central News Agency.
We quote: "the outbreak of war is an established fact".
A legitimate question: what about the Olympics? South Korea is already facing difficulties with ticket sales. People are simply afraid to go to Pyeongchang because it is located within a hundred kilometers from the North Korean border. In order to save the situation, they had to roll out the big guns, the diplomatic ones so far, meaning Nikki Haley.
The journalist: "Is it safe for our athletes to go to South Korea especially when you take into account the threat of war breaking out in the region?"
Nikki Haley, US Ambassador to the UN: “We're not afraid of anything. It's a great opportunity for all the athletes to go there and face new challenges. But we'll be monitoring the situation and will conduct all possible measures to ensure the safety of our athletes”.
The journalist: “Will you recommend them not to go there?”
Nikki Haley: “It's an open question. I haven't heard of that but I know that the negotiations on Jerusalem or North Korea always arouse the question of protecting US citizens".
Can you imagine that? The scoop of the day: the decision on whether the US team will go to South Korea is still open. And it was announced by their UN Ambassador. Haley didn't mention Jerusalem just like that. Donald Trump has recently recognized it as the capital of Israel, reigniting the Palestine-Israel land conflict as he did so. However, the safety of US citizens is the top priority.
