Kim Jong-un has threatened the US with a 'super-mighty preemptive strike' and warned America: 'Don't mess with us'.

State controlled media claimed North Korea could 'immediately wipe out the US mainland' and reduce its enemies 'to ashes'.

The latest threat from Pyongyang comes amid mounting tensions between North Korea and America and after China moved 150,000 troops to its border with the secretive state.

This morning it emerged that Vladimir Putin is also reinforcing his border with North Korea by relocating troops and equipment.

Saturation bomb NK with big macs, double cheeseburgers, and cokes.

You may have meant that in jest, but it's actually a brilliant idea.

If we air-dropped food and other life sustaining supplies into North Korea on a continuing basis, it couldn't help but create a different impression of the outside world in those people's minds.

Not sure that's a huge worry Ray. There are scores of detection devices all along our borders/sea ports/sea routes further out that can detect emissions from radioactive material. It's certainly a concern I admit, but buoys monitoring container traffic are in place.

[Cobra64]

Yup. Despite what the media may be reporting, and Putin’s bluster, methinks Trump has worked an agreement with China and Russia. This will be interesting...

[Cobra64]

Yeah, but the kids would be throwing rocks and bottles at the NORKs.

[Cobra64]

I’m sure our satellites are tracking shipping from N. Korea.

[Cobra64]

Apparently we have contingencies with THAAD in S Korea and on Navy ships.

This has been in the news the last several weeks.

[TEXOKIE]

Not at all disagreeing with you!

[Little Ray]

You have a lot more faith in that stuff than I do.
I have about as much faith in the folks managing those detection devices as I do in the TSA.

[Eleutheria5]

“State controlled media claimed North Korea could ‘immediately wipe out the US mainland’ and reduce its enemies ‘to ashes’.”

That’s a whole lot of mainland. Does Little Kim need a geography lesson?

[wally_bert]

I’d offer Wendy’s fries, they taste better.

>>I have about as much faith in the folks managing those detection devices as I do in the TSA.<<

I'm hearing ya, but gotta say, just traveled back from South Carolina. We went through TSA to and fro. Not sure it could get any worse than TSA.

Seriously, we need to change our laws about assasinating heads of state in certain circumstances

Seriously agreed.

[Alas Babylon!]

I agree with you 100%. People don’t see the danger in statements such as his, but what will they say if we do nothing to stop him and he obtains his goal???

We laugh now, but down the road, should he prevail, such a statement will be life or death for us.

Better to take him out now. It is the more humane thing to do.

[Colinsky]

Seriously, we need to change our laws about assasinating heads of state in certain circumstances.

We already have the law we need. If Congress declares war, the enemy leader is fair game.

[dfwgator]

Now with more *MOLECULES*.

[hulagirl]

I’m gonna use that one on Twitter, hope you don’t mind...

[Quickgun]

I’ve heard the people are pretty much brainwashed. That said, if they fight with the same resolve the Japanese did in WWII, (Who were also brainwashed), they could be real problem for some of the countries that are within their reach, because of their numbers.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Apparently the “spec ops” picture of them is a joke as well.
