The statement said: The Korean Peoples 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 peoples 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 neighbours latest rocket-engine test showed meaningful progress.
The Norths 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.

North Korea: a few crude nukes, none tested for launch reliability/hi G's/atmospheric reentry, etc
USA: Current strategic arsenal:1,900-methods of delivery including ICBMs, bombers, and including MIRVed warheads on SLBMs

His response ?

(2,736 posts)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.

(7,232 posts)Trump would have been burning up Twitter about how weak he was and how something (probably something epicly idiotic) needed to be done NOW. Sad.
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.

(31,974 posts)N. Korea routinely threatened nuclear destruction on the U.S. when something wasn't going their way.
Denzil_DC
(7,232 posts)It hadn't made many meaningful strides in developing its missile technology at the time, so such threats weren't credible.
former9thward
(31,974 posts)Which is why Clinton should have stopped the threat, Bush should have stopped the threat, and Obama should have stopped the threat. It will only get worse and not end well so deal with it now.

What happens if China comes to the defense of North Korea? And we can not subdue them with conventional weapons do we nuke them ?

(5,492 posts)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.
