Trump has made 'our rockets' visit' to U.S. mainland inevitable, North Korean foreign minister says

North Korea said on Saturday that firing its rockets at the U.S. mainland was "inevitable" after U.S. President Donald Trump called Pyongyang's leader "rocket man," in a further escalation of rhetoric between the two leaders.

North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho's remarks before the United Nations General Assembly came hours after U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers escorted by fighter jets flew in international airspace over waters east of North Korea, in a show of force the Pentagon said demonstrated the range of military options available to Trump.

"Through such a prolonged and arduous struggle, now we are finally only a few steps away from the final gate of completion of the state nuclear force," Ri told the annual gathering of world leaders.

"It is only a forlorn hope to consider any chance that the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) would be shaken an inch or change its stance due to the harsher sanctions by the hostile forces," he said.....

They are getting close to Noriega territory. Perhaps they should go ahead and declare war on us.

We are technically still at war with North Korea. There has never been a peace treaty or armistice, only a cease fire.

China is the puppet master of NK. China will have NK take out 10-20 population and industrial centers in the USA. China takes a hit on global trade but compared to where they were just 15 years ago, they will be better. Think long term strategic and it becomes obvious that China gain if we lose. Global trade will continue even if China loses 1 trillion + in debt owed to them and the trade partner if the become a world player/super power. NK nukes use we nuke NK and China skates via proxy.

If what I just stated happen, will the US ignorant population expect the US government to tie China to the issue and flatten the Chinese bastards? My guess is no.

So what is the body count on 20 200+ kiloton warheads on population and industrial centers? 85 million? If I can see it plain as day I hope the government can and we put 85-100 100 kiloton warheads on china after we deal with NK.

How does Russia figure into it? How does the Middle East figure into it. If I was president then about 15 countries would be politely told if NK hits us we will scourched earth the global players. If we go stone aged then everyone goes stone aged.

Imagine NK with 100 or 200 ICBMs. Not acceptable.

Pres Trump already said we are getting out of the nation building business-GW Bush should have taken us out of it after Afghanistan-look how that has turned out. Let NK’s neighbors deal with assisting to rebuild, repatriate people, etc-not our business any more once rocket man and his honchos are turned into ashes-give those people their freedom and their country back.

There is no need for us to occupy NK after it has been defeated-if the SK’s want to do that, let them-it is their relatives and friends who have been starved and imprisoned all these years in NK-I’m sure they will deal with the refugee problem just fine-I’d guess there will be plenty of rocket man’s former “subjects” who will be happy to have their country back to rebuild in a productive way. Korea is 2 countries because of meddling-mostly by the communists-they might do just fine without being micromanaged by us or anyone else.

And I don’t think most of us give a rat’s ass what the fools at the UN think...

China has mobile ICBMS in a vast underground tunnel complex. By vast I mean at least 2000 miles of tunnel. We can’t target them.

The longer we wait, the less true your statements become unfortunately.

Reagan’s Star Wars research was probably on the super computers Clinton sold the Chinese. But don’t worry, Hillary wiped them clean with a cloth.

This guy is either full of it or else he has the IQ of an imbecile. Would he think of asking himself - so then what, after North Korea sends its missiles at the US, then what happens?

They are confident that the MSM will enable them to turn the tables on history, as they did with their party's association with slavery in the deep south.

That's exactly right. The truth doesn't matter to dems who will spin it to blame someone else.

I think we should keep calling him names especially the president. Then when he drops an H somewhere inconvenient we can all say, WTF?

I agree. You can’t talk your way into war.

Words...all words and every word...are meaningless. None of the talk on either side is going to mean anything. You can only get into a war via action. NK can threaten with words all they want. It’s only if they actually do something that war will happen.

If China jr via NK hits us are you saying let China off the hook? So what they have a retaliation capability. Do we let China nuke us via their proxy without retribution?

Dear morphing,

re: “I think we should keep calling him names especially the president. Then when he drops an H somewhere inconvenient we can all say, WTF?”

I do hope you mean Kim Jong Un. Under Communism, there are NO ‘presidents’, but there are ‘supreme leaders’.

Why does no one here see that that rocket man is only a Chicom puppet? We are are being played because we are that simple.
