President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that the United States will be forced to "totally destroy" North Korea unless Pyongyang backs down from its nuclear challenge, mocking North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a "rocket man" on a suicide mission.
Loud murmurs filled the green-marbled U.N. General Assembly hall when Trump issued his sternest warning yet to North Korea, whose ballistic missile launches and nuclear tests have rattled the globe.
Unless North Korea backs down, he said, "We will have no choice than to totally destroy North Korea."
"Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime," he said.
He urged United Nations member states to work together to isolate the Kim government until it ceases its "hostile" behavior.
A junior North Korean diplomat remained in the delegation's front-row seat for Trump's speech, the North Korean U.N. mission said.
Turning to Iran, Trump called the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by his predecessor, Barack Obama, was an embarrassment and hinted that he may not recertify the agreement when it comes up for a mid-October deadline.
"I don't think you've heard the last of it," he said.
He called Iran an "economically depleted rogue state" that exports violence.
The speech marked his latest attempt to lay out his America First vision for a U.S. foreign policy aimed at downgrading global bureaucracies, basing alliances on shared interests, and steering Washington away from nation-building exercises abroad.

Amanpour on CNN said the Iran deal cannot be undone
What has Mr. Moron said about the Norks threatening us? Or every majority muslim nation threatening the existence of Israel?
In reality, taking out the leadership would be much more effective than killing millions of NKs. Follow the decapitation with massive food drops to a starving population with a note that there’s more where that came from if they decide to join the community of civilized nations.
Obama has been fairly quiet I'm wondering if this bomerang Russia Election tampering pretense to assemble a gang of high tech plumbers is about start hitting.
How is not Watergate but on a much larger scale?
Perhaps Bill Clinton was on the plane with Loretta because he was the only one who thought Trump could win and was transferring some intel?
This is spying on a political opponents using BS pretext as cover. Seems like its unraveling and coming to forefront. This is all happening as president Trump's approval numbers are improving.
President Trump is probably the most gifted raw political talent, with an ability to learn I have ever seen. The creativity he has shown as he has governed and led the nation through his successes as well as missteps is so encouraging to those with a brain.
He is the greatest magician (applied psychologist) ever!
Nobody ever wonders if president Trump has that vision thing
The leftest sense betrayal by the liberals as Trump is triangulating them. Giving Schumer and Pelosi a chance to purge the radicals so they can move the party to a more moderate place to recapture working class voters.
It also could be that the DLC (Clinton) wing of the democrats are in the process of being purged as large interests (uniparty types) deploy different influence methods to adapt to the shift in the electorate preference of a democrat partry more focused on whatever it is they focus on when they were less crazy then today.
As the Russian boomerang spins back toward the democrats - Old time pre Clinton democrats seem to be moving toward the president. Maybe Schumer et al want to trade something for political cover when the whole Watergate*10 blows up in Obamas face. Vindicating the president and giving him the political momentum to start passing some of the Agenda
MacArthur was 100% right about Korea and Red China back in 51 and 52 and the Truman Administration, the British and the French 100% wrong
..and we know she has only America's best interest in mind..
Who is that unshaven goon sitting next to the NORK delegate ?
Goodbye rocket man. The world will be a better place when your family and your minions irradiated out of existence.
I wish Trump has used this opportunity to address the NK representative very personally in front of all UN members and say:
_-—”To the Rep from NK, I’m asking you to go back to Rocket Man and tell him that we dont want ANYTHING from your country!! We’re not after OIL (They have NO OIL). We dont want to live there either. Or colonize them. We don’t want war with your country.”
—”Instead, the US, Japan and SK would like to trade with NK and be peaceful. And mind our own business.”
____________________
In fact, in a very creative way, Trump could promise to DEFEND NK from attackers if the NORKS stop missiles and threats and Nuke production and instead be friendly and do trade and improve their country. Trump is known for making some off-the-wall strategic moves the surprise people. Its all about The Art of The Deal.
Of course there are no countries that want to attack NK anyway.
Finally, in a new streak of creative diplomacy, Trump should invite Kim to the White House for dinner with Trump and Dennis Rodman and some translators. Im not joking here. It would be a brilliant coup for Trump to show that we are not interested in NK and in a war with NK.
If Trump could solve this problem peacefully (e.g. get Norks to disarm), he would be suddenly cherished by all Japanese and SK people. Americans would also be appreciative.

As adapted from Elton John:
She packed my nukes last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I’m gonna be high on homemade meth by then
I miss my dad so much I miss my uncle
It’s lonely out in DMZ
On such a timeless march
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a cowardly despot
Killing Otto for stealing a poster board
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a crazy man
Megalomaniac about to die in my palace alone
Camp 13 ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this nuclear science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
That is exactly what I expect to happen.
But Trump has to get Rocket Man to commit one overt act for which others will support a strong response. Best way to pull a mental midget into taking the first swing is to insult their manhood.
I trust that our allies have developed a rock solid intelligence base so that when the action comes, it is most effective.
Perhaps - like you say nobody wants anything NK has or make war with them. The whole thing doesn’t seem to make sense from Kim’s point of view unless its the Chinese who pull his strings. Looks like china using NK to gauge our military capabilities. I wonder how much freedom Kim actually has. Does he dare leave the country?
Methinks it’s in process. Announcing it to the public would cause riots in the streets by the democrats.
Don’t know
“Shouldnt we let them take the lead (and expense) of dealing with only fat guy in North Korea?”
Simple answer. Collectively, they don’t have the military muscle to “deal” with NK.
