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.

Too late now but you are correct.
Don't forget General Patton wanted to kick the Russians back to their border. General Lemay would have graciously helped.
Imagine if we destroyed Communism by 1946!
Imagine if we destroyed the Iranian revolution in 1980.
Imagine if we DIDN'T destroy Iraq and help destroy Libya and Syria. Politics and War are strange bedfellows.
I do akways try to find the good in any situation and I must say that there is probably one advantage the Norks have on the rest of the world—I bet North Korea doesn’t have a muslim problem!
wow, i wonder who put the extra cheese in that extra cheesy CGI, lol
War crime, unreal. So if North Korea nukes us and we destroy them it’s a war crime. Yes, we should be a polite country and accept nuclear attacks.
Despite the tendentiousness of what she implies, what she technically says does have a smidgen of truth. If Trump doesn't recertify, all the benefits Iran has already received are not required to be returned. The only people that might have pretended that would be the case have long been drinking Obama's Kool-Aide. We've long suspected if not known Obama was just giving away the farm--largely in cash and nuclear OKIE-DOKIES--to ValJar & Christiane's mother country.
Yes, Trump "risks alienating" the other signatory nations, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the United Nations, but so far only Amanpour seems to think Trump cannot do what he said.
If by saying "the Iran deal cannot be undone" Amanpour means we're not going to get back the pallets of cash we sent, she has a sloppy, biased way of attacking Trump to say it. But for the most part, Christiane is just wrong and misleading.
Agreed
Moron is bordering on treason.

I tend to agree with you however it seems that there was an easier way but apparently it was not taken.
Perhaps it's not too late, Learn to Pray the Rosary Every Day.
“Don’t forget General Patton wanted to kick the Russians back to their border.”
He was not the only one. Just after the war, my uncle who was a PBY flier was stationed in North Korea. According to him, one of their unarmed patrol missions over Manchuria was shot at by the Ruskies. His pilots wanted to rearm the planes and go after them (not a good match up). Denied by higher authority. They were really POed according to him.
Poor Neil Cavuto is beside himself.
I’d say Trump was very clear. They all think it wasn’t very diplomatic of him.
They all prefer that he would have said “weasel word weasel word weasel word DEPLORE CONDEMN weasel word weasel word weasel word”
Trump has just had his ‘evil empire’ moment.
Excellent point
I would have liked the words “utter annihilation” but close enough.
“Of course there are no countries that want to attack NK anyway.”
The desire for reunification burns in the hearts of Koreans both north and south.
If the south thought the cost/benefit analysis to be acceptable, they’d attack the north in a heartbeat.
So...ronery.
Destroy North Korea? What does that mean? He will nuke North Korea to stop them from uselessly lobbing missiles into the Pacific?
