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.

“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States”
I hope those were the exact words he used. I think we’re going to war.
Far boi is crapping his thong as we speak ...
It is hard to bang and clear a building. But not something a flame tank couldn't have handled.
We officially live in the future, I think in the year 2017 could come up with a damn fine Flame Tank.
I would have loved to have seen The Jihadis gotten burnt to a crisp in Falliuja.
Fat boi is crapping his thong as we speak ...
Uh nuts = nucs
Don’t we have to have air supremacy to drop the moab since it has to be dropped by a cargo plane?
Falliuja Fajitas...................
Maybe MJ will sign a MOAB.
“What we dropped on dresden was more tnt and effective than hiroshima”
Yeppers... first you drop high explosives to create a huge number of gas leaks. Then a while later you come back and drop incendiaries to set off all that gas. You can make the asphalt melt. People catching fire tryin’ ta run acrost it.
CNN, WaPo, and Fox all agree we should attack N Korea? Wait a few days. The first two will say Trump is a warmonger.
Hope this is not the Iraq WMD story again.
No, but I’ve been thinking the MOAB could be used to suck all the air out of those caves where all the artillery is hid, like they tested at masar al sharif. Still think it wouldn’t be possible to get the cargo aircraft over target... still, no reason a B-52 couldn’t drop one.
Obama transported pallets of cash to his mullah buddies in the dark of the night...
An array of MOABs would probably do the trick...
Shakana /GW1 throwback
MacArthur was a tit.
No, conventional weapons will suffice. Launching nukes would be a grave mistake, unless nuked first. The radioactivity would destroy the whole Korean and possibly the neighboring countries as well. And we do not want a “skirmish” with China.
Remember when Obama said North Korea and Iran were tiny countries, and then proceeded to pay off the mullahs in Iran...
They were.
The South Koreans are crapping in their pants too, because odds are some of that fallout will head their way.
If I lived in Seoul I'd be heading South at a pretty good clip right about now.
