Standing before a B-2 stealth bomber and a vast US flag, Donald Trump on Friday lashed out at North Korea warned that advanced US weaponry could make the souls of America's enemies "crumble."
Addressing several hundred air force personnel after reviewing some of America's most high-tech fighters jets and bombers, Trump warned that Pyongyang had "once again shown its utter contempt for its neighbors and for the entire world community."
"After seeing our capabilities, I am more confident than ever that our options are not only effective but overwhelming," Trump said.
The UN Security Council on Friday strongly condemned North Korea's "highly provocative" missile launch and demanded Pyongyang immediately halt such actions -- but did not threaten further sanctions.
North Korea fired the intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan that landed in the Pacific, responding to new UN sanctions with its furthest-ever missile flight.
In a unanimous statement backed by China, the council said the launch was carried out just three weeks after a first missile overflew Japan and less than two weeks after Pyongyang's sixth and biggest nuclear test.
US President Donald Trump has scheduled talks with leaders of Japan and South Korea to address the crisis.

If we cross this line there's no going back
Our far flung empire will be vulnerable around the globe
It will only be a matter of who is willing to test us and risk further escalation
or who will run to the U.N. instead

I wonder if this idiot understood that when that plane was being built out in California in the high desert, that it had a dead zone fence line running in between two other fence lines being patrolled by Air Force personnel and the company maker of this bomber was and still is classified Top Secret.
I wonder if this idiot fully realized, that while this aircraft was in the earlier stages of being built, that next door in the production area there was an another stealth bomber being built, that could also carry XX nuclear tipped cruise missiles and fly at XXX feet above the ground at Mach 1.25, while this asshole was trying to figure out how to rip people off from there money and was going to be protected by these two bombers.
I wonder if this idiot fully understands what the costs where to make this bomber and the other bomber, while he was trying to figure out how to not pay taxes for this bomber and the other bomber
And just wonder if this idiot thinks that making things go boom gives him a hard on of trying to be a man, instead of being a sexual predator that he really his, and is a TRAITOR standing in front of these Air Force Personnel
