North Korea wants freedom from US empire

An analyst tells Press TV that North Korea's dedication to remaining independent of the US empire is the main reason of conflict between Washington and Pyongyang. North Korea has declared that it is in a 'state of war' with South Korea, warning that any provocation by Seoul and Washington will trigger an all-out nuclear war. Pyongyang also warned that if Washington and Seoul launched a preemptive attack, the conflict would "not be limited to a local war, but develop into an all-out war, a nuclear war." The United States has reacted to the warning, calling it "unconstructive" while taking it "seriously." Press TV has conducted an interview with Dr. Kevin Barrett, author and political commentator from Madison, to shed light on the issue of tension at the Korean Peninsula.
