Kim Jong-Un vows to reduce the US to ashes with nuke strikes if DT fires even a single bulllet

The statement said: “The Korean People’s Army will reduce the bases of aggression and provocation to ashes with its invincible Hwasong rockets tipped with nuclear warheads and reliably defend the security of the country and its people’s happiness in case the US and the South Korean puppet forces fire even a single bullet at the territory of the DPRK.”

The menacing talk came as South Korea warned that its northern neighbour’s latest rocket-engine test showed “meaningful” progress.

The North’s KCNA news agency said on Sunday the engine would help the country achieve world-class satellite-launch capability – indicating a new type of rocket engine for an intercontinental ballistic missile.

And told him I had heard that not only is the guidance system and targeting capability of a top tier missile of ours capable of hitting a 55 gallon drum from 4000 miles away, it can be so accurately detonated as to do so between the rings of said 55 gallon drum.

His response ?

If we cant get any improvement either thru CHINA or with direct talks and he continues unabated towards a ICBM then acting at that point will be 10x better than waiting 5 years when things will be even worse.

And btw I'm saying take them out with CONVENTIONAL weapons.

I'm hoping some cool heads have survived at some level of the US government who can figure out some way that the Trump administration's current apparent total inactivity about NK doesn't lead to a horrible kneejerk disaster.

He couldn't care less about his own citizens. He would blow them up himself if it meant gaining something from it.
If it meant nuking even one US city to be known as "the one who nuked America," he would do it.

The pickle here is, if you attack them now, Seoul will be destroyed, and millions of South Koreans and thousands of Americans will die. On the other hand, if North Korea gets an ICBM, it's like giving a 5 year old a loaded gun with a hair trigger. They will threaten us and try to blackmail us with the threat of a preemptive nuclear attack on US cities. The threats will never stop until a horrific war that kills millions upon millions.

War is imminent. It's not a matter of if - it's a matter of where and when, and how we can minimize the destruction it will cause.

It's no secret why this is happening now. America is tired of war and weakened. Trump is the world's laughing stock. Kim sees his window of opportunity. He will end up swinging from a tree, but he's going to try and cause as much destruction as possible before his death.

Pray for a coup to take this bastard out. It's the only solution that has a good outcome.
