Kim Jong-un says he has a ‘nuclear launch button’ on his desk in threat to America

KIM Jong-un has brought in the new year with an alarming escalation in his threats against the rest of the world.

During a televised New Year’s Day speech, the dictator said the US would never be able to start a war with the rogue nation after it had developed the ability to hit all of the American mainland with its nuclear weapons.

“The entire United States is within range of our nuclear weapons, and a nuclear button is always on my desk. This is reality, not a threat,” Kim said.

The speech is being watched closely, as Kim Jong-un followed up on promises he made during his 2017 New Year’s Day address, when he vowed to speed up the country’s nuclear weapons development.

It would be fun to think that his button was purchased by one of his generals in ‘Toys R Us’ just to shut him up.

Gotta love the single coax F-connector coming out of that tin box he’s sitting at.

And is that trackball connected to anything? I don’t see a wire coming out of it. Finally, is that an old acoustic coupler sitting on the floor?

Did the Russians sell him that thing? LOL

Are those salt & pepper shakers next to his binoculars?

Maybe that's not a desk lamp; maybe it's a heat lamp to keep his pizza warm. LOL

I think those are not shakers but paper weights. He has a map on his desk. They are probably for keeping the sheet of map from being blown away by wind.
It appears to be the map of E. Asia, but I am not really sure.

Hey rocket man! I have a question.

What is the difference between a button and a target?

Likely NOKO troops that run will be shot by troops behind them for that very reason.

”Likely NOKO troops that run will be shot by troops behind them for that very reason.”

Those secondary troops would just come under fire themselves. How many layers of troops do you think they can spare just to shoot deserters, and then to shoot those tasked with shooting deserters who themselves turn and run, ad infinitum?

Kim Jong Un, there is a Long-dong missile in your future.

Silicon valley has hacked Jun’s operations system, targeting will automatically reverse 180 degrees on all launches.

Ronery!

Well it worked well for the Russians in WWII and I believe China has the same plan today. Those tasked are true believers, not ordinary soldiers.
