North Korea Tells Countries To Evacuate Their Embassies By April 10th

From:  (Before It's News)

"We can confirm that the British Embassy in Pyongyang received a communication from the North Korean government this morning," said a spokesman for the Foreign Office.

 

"It said that the North Korean government would be unable to guarantee the safety of embassies and international organisations in the country in the event of conflict from April 10," he added.

 

The Foreign office declined to disclose how many staff are working in Pyongyang, but said no decision had yet been taken on whether to pull out. "We are considering next steps," the spokesman said.

 

Russia also said it had received the same notice. "Unfortunately, the situation (on the Korean peninsula) is not developing in the way that we would like. For us the security of our citizens is the priority," said a Russian Foreign ministry source quoted by Interfax, the Russian news agency.

 

The Polish embassy was also told to evacuate.

This is big and bad.  This rarely happens unless there is war.  It happened in Syria, it happened in Iraq.  Again, maybe this is all just a big bluff but I'm starting not to think so.  North korea has never gone this far.  To go back now would be a devastating blow to them and the regime.  Something is up.  I'm leaning towards war..  -Mort
