President Donald Trump threatened North Korea with "fire" and "fury" because it's the only language dictator Kim Jong Un understands, according to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Wednesday.

Hours after Trump's warning, North Korea said it was considering "making an enveloping fire at the areas around Guam," the tiny Pacific U.S. territory that's home to American military bases.

Tillerson landed in Guam to refuel on Thursday while flying between Malaysia and Washington, D.C. "I think what the president was doing was sending a strong message to North Korea in language that Kim Jung Un would understand because he doesn't seem to understand diplomatic language," Tillerson told reporters on the plane.

When you want to communicate with a bully you have to speak the only language bullies understand - violence.

Well, there you go again, Rex, defending The Donald.

Don’t you KNOW, Rex, that The Donald is WRONG WRONG WRONG, and is beyond any defense? You have been warned, by no less than the mainstream media (is there anything the NYT doesn’t know?) < /sarcasm >

“President Donald Trump threatened North Korea with “fire” and “fury” because it’s the only language dictator Kim Jong Un understands...”

Perhaps the Nork generals understand this very clearly also and might take action against Fat Boy to save their backsides as well as their families.

In 1945, Democrat POTUS, Harry Truman publicly warned the Japanese government & military leadership, that if they did not submit to unconditional, complete surrender immediately, he would unleash total destruction on Japanese cities, with similar words as used by POTUS, Trump to North Korea. The Truman words and following actions, dropping “atomic” bombs on Hiroshima and Nagaski saved at least a million American military lives.

God bless POTUS, Trump and may traitor, Democrats, Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein and Republican Turncoat, John McCann burn in hell forever.
