N. Korea 'on standby to launch,' state-run paper says in response to Trump's latest warnings

North Korea took its turn Saturday in the country’s escalating, back-and-fourth with President Trump with the state-run newspaper saying leader Kim Jung Un’s revolutionary army is “capable of fighting any war the U.S. wants.”

The assertion was made in an editorial that also states the Paektusan army is now “on the standby to launch fire into its mainland, waiting for an order of final attack."

The editorial in North Korea on Saturday also said the U.S. "finds itself in an ever worsening dilemma, being thrown into the grip of extreme security unrest by the DPRK. This is tragicomedy of its own making. … If the Trump administration does not want the American empire to meet its tragic doom in its tenure, they had better talk and act properly."

China is the North’s biggest economic partner and source of aid, but says it alone can’t compel Pyongyang to end its nuclear and missile programs.

“To my knowledge our missiles and other tactical nukes and most bombs are not H bombs.”

Pretty much all the nuke inventory is Hydrogen fueled, In reality they are isotopes of hydrogen. Regardless, today’s nuke have been miniaturized because the policymakers realized the nukes don’t need to be tsar bamba types.

I think the exception is the tactical type weapons. I was in field artillery and we were nuclear ready. I believe physics restricted size of weapon that was propelled in a 155mm howitzer.

I believe in ‘’ the power behind the throne’’ as the saying goes. I’m speculating that those fat cats standing behind Chubby with the chests full of medals and the big hats are thinking to themselves “I have a nice apartment in Pyongyang, I eat good, my wife and kids eat good and shop in the elite stores. Life is pretty ok for me. I’m not going to lose all that because Fat Boy here wants to start sh!t with the biggest dog on the block. I think it’s time Chubby had a heart attack like his dad did’’.

What I meant is that he thinks he is playing us, but the opposite is true this time.

This is a great strategy by President Trump, it is expensive and taxing to keep the entire North Koreans military on full alert for so long. Eventually the NK is going to be worn down under this siege, what the results will be are unknown but the replacement of the fearless leader is not out of the question.

“...We should have reduced every mountain range in Afghanistan...”

A whole lot of “should haves” but we had a dipsh*t in office who didn’t give a damn about America or American defense or security...
