The North Korea has said that the United States has finally gone " mad".

Meanwhile, The USS Carl Vinson is expected off the Korean Peninsula in few days. N/Korea has once again threatened to launch "full-out war" with nuclear weapons, amid reports of the imminent arrival of an American naval strike group off the Korean Peninsula.The USS Carl Vinson will arrive in the Sea of Japan within days, American Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday, after mixed messages from the US over the warship's whereabout. 
The strike group was supposedly heading towards North Korea last week amid concerns that the N/Korea is preparing for a sixth nuclear test. North Korea has threatening to hit back at any slightest provocation.  
Meanwhile the United States navy, which had earlier said the aircraft carrier would sail north from waters off Singapore as a "prudent measure" to deter North Korea, admitted on Tuesday that the ships were in fact sent away from Singapore and towards Australia to conduct drills with the Australian navy.
The aircraft carrier will arrive "in a matter of days", Pence, the American Vice President said after the location of the naval strike group became contentious.
"Now that we possess mighty nuclear power to protect ourselves from US nuclear threat, we will respond without the slightest hesitation to full-out war with full-out war and to nuclear war with our style of nuclear strike, and we will emerge victor in the final battle with the US," the North's foreign ministry said in a statement.
   The North Korea will celebrate the 85th anniversary of the foundation of its Korean People's Army on Tuesday and has marked important events in the past by launching missiles or conducting nuclear tests.
Tuesday's anniversary comes as the North finishes winter military drills and as South Korea and the US wrap up annual joint military exercises.
The official Rodong Sinmun newspaper said on Saturday in a commentary that North Korea would not hesitate to launch a pre-emptive strike if provoked.
"The United States has now gone seriously mad. It is mulling frightening the DPRK and achieving something with nuclear strategic bombers, nuclear carriers, etc," Rodong Sinmun said, referring to the North Korea by its official name, the Democratic Republic of Korea.
"However, the army and people of the DPRK will never be browbeaten by such bluffing.
"Under the situation where the United States hurts the DPRK by force of arms, we have nothing to be bound to. 
"We do believe China can do more."
Tensions between North Korea and the US go back to the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty.
However, the heat has been raising rapidly since Donald Trump took office in January as the US President.
        In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera recently,North Korea's deputy foreign minister, Sin Hong-chol, urged the United States administration to "look at the world with open eyes".
"The time of dictating orders by brandishing the US military might has gone," he said.
"If those businessmen in power in the US thought of intimidating us by any military or sanction threats - as the Obama's administration used to do and failed - they will soon find out such threats are useless."
