Nuclear Bluffing: North Korean leader lashes out at 'rabid dogs'

Kim Jong-un appears to accuse US of trying to undermine regime

North Korean state media issued an aggressive statement from leader Kim Jong-un Saturday after U.S. President Barack Obama's recent suggestion that Pyongyang's leadership would collapse under pressure from outside.

In an apparent reference to Washington, Kim accused "rabid dogs openly barking" of attempting to undermine North Korea's brand of socialism – a blend of Korean nationalism and Soviet-inspired communism.

In the report carried by Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency, Kim also threatened to respond to "any war" with nuclear weapons.
