President Donald Trump warns that threats from North Korea "will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen." North Korea has successfully created a miniaturized nuclear weapon that can fit in its missiles, according to NBC News and The Washington Post.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned North Korea about facing "fire and fury" if the isolated nation makes more threats to the United States.
"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening ... and I said they will be met with fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before," Trump told reporters during what he calls a "working vacation" at his New Jersey golf club.
His comments came hours after revelations Pyongyang has successfully created a miniaturized nuclear weapon designed to fit inside its missiles. While miniaturizing marks a major step in North Korea's nuclear ambitions, it does not necessarily mean the country has an accurate nuclear-equipped intercontinental ballistic missile, yet.
The development raises the stakes for Trump and other world leaders, who already faced difficult and limited options in dealing with North Korea's aggression. Trump has tried to leverage China, Pyongyang's only major ally, to get North Korea to change its behavior, but he has lamented a lack of success with Beijing.
The U.N. Security Council on Saturday unanimously put new sanctions on North Korea over its continued missile tests. The country has tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles that landed off the coast of Japan this year. Some analysis has said one of those missiles could potentially reach the mainland United States.
National security advisor H.R. McMaster recently said Trump is "not going to tolerate North Korea being able to threaten the United States."
Pyongyang has repeatedly vowed retribution against the U.S. following sanctions or other measures meant to deter its nuclear and missile programs.
After the U.N. imposed the newest sanctions, North Korea said it would bring "thousands-fold" revenge against the U.S.
This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.
Liberal heads exploding all across the fruited plains.
This appears to be the first time an American President has threatened a nuclear strike since WWII.
Translation: “We aren’t going to write you a check this time.”
We have tons of conventional fire and fury.
MOAB
Trump isn’t Clinton.
A Basketball signed by MJ may not be their next gift.
He didn’t mention nukes.
Hell from 65,000 can be enough.
Unfortunately, the bleeding heart liberals need to remember, it’s them or us.
Go Trump. At some point, if a country repeatedly threatens to nuke you, and they are building nukes at a breakneck speed, you have to consider squashing the bug outright.
I’m sure we do, but the threat is nuclear.
The only proper response is nuclear................
“We have tons of conventional fire and fury.”
But we don’t have the conventional forces in theatre to make an attack like “the world has never seen.” Especially since South Korea absolutely won’t be on board with a preemptive strike from their territory. Those geniuses built their CAPITAL in NK artillery range.
Make no mistake, that’s a nuke threat. And justifiably so.
If we would have turned the middle east into a parking lot after 9/11, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in now. The world would have hated us for it, but they would have hated us from afar. Trump needs to show the world that you don’t jack with the United States.
Gen. McInerney said that if NoKo sends any missile, etc., to SoKo or anywhere else, within 15 minutes we should see to it that no NoKo town would be left standing. Total annihilation.
Eyeball -2-Eyball—GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP!

What we dropped on dresden was more tnt and effective than hiroshima. Would take 5% number of aircraft today to delivet the same effect.

IMHO President Trump us talking in a language that lil Kim can understand. Now whether he gets the message or not is another story.
I’m listening to Hannity now and this has him really spooked.
