President Donald Trump warns that threats from North Korea "will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen." North Korea has successfully created a miniaturized nuclear weapon that can fit in its missiles, according to NBC News and The Washington Post.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned North Korea about facing "fire and fury" if the isolated nation makes more threats to the United States.
"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening ... and I said they will be met with fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before," Trump told reporters during what he calls a "working vacation" at his New Jersey golf club.
His comments came hours after revelations Pyongyang has successfully created a miniaturized nuclear weapon designed to fit inside its missiles. While miniaturizing marks a major step in North Korea's nuclear ambitions, it does not necessarily mean the country has an accurate nuclear-equipped intercontinental ballistic missile, yet.
The development raises the stakes for Trump and other world leaders, who already faced difficult and limited options in dealing with North Korea's aggression. Trump has tried to leverage China, Pyongyang's only major ally, to get North Korea to change its behavior, but he has lamented a lack of success with Beijing.
The U.N. Security Council on Saturday unanimously put new sanctions on North Korea over its continued missile tests. The country has tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles that landed off the coast of Japan this year. Some analysis has said one of those missiles could potentially reach the mainland United States.
National security advisor H.R. McMaster recently said Trump is "not going to tolerate North Korea being able to threaten the United States."
Pyongyang has repeatedly vowed retribution against the U.S. following sanctions or other measures meant to deter its nuclear and missile programs.
After the U.N. imposed the newest sanctions, North Korea said it would bring "thousands-fold" revenge against the U.S.

One uses cluster bombs to take out artillery and armor in fixed emplacements.
And they work very, very well. A single B-1B can carry 30 of these:

Or, my personal favorite the CBU-87. Either the B-1B or the B-52 can carry 50+ of these...

Artillery and armor are easy. As are any fixed, surface target.
Massive amounts of cruise missiles, B1 and / or B2 bombing raids, knocking out command and control centers and severing all transportation lines might not get their attention...................
Odd all the saber rattling... What do the elites NOT want us to pay attention to? (No to sound like tinfoilhat guy)
Truman was a communist collaborator traitor. He put UN’s ideals and regulations ahead of his own country.
This situation with North Korea should of been dealt with in 1952, yet here we are.
I believe I heard on the radio today that NK is believed to have 60 nukes. I thought it was 10-20. They could inflict a lot of damage with 60 of them even if only a handful got through.
As JFK put it during the Cuban missile crisis, “It shall be the policy of this Nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.”
Nothing..................
MacArthur was right.
So waz Patton.
Where is that mentioned in Trump’s statement?
Trump needs to remember Obama’s red line.
Trump needs to remember Teddy: Speak softly, carry a big stick.
Last night’s show, too.
The norks are playing with fire.
Trump might be saying to himself that he’s already hated by the establishment, that they already are working overtime to replace him, so he might as well solve the Nork & Iran problems and let the chips fall where they will with future historians.
Seriously, what’s he got to lose?
Incorrect.
Rods from Gods.
So was Professor Turgeson....
Professor Terguson: You remember that thing we had about 30 years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China? Then take the f....ing wall apart brick by brick and nuke them back into the f....ing stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? SAY IT!!! SAY IT!!!!!!
Thornton Melon: [incensed] All right. I'll say it. 'Cause Truman was too much of a *pussy wimp* to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards!
Professor Terguson: Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you.
Thornton Melon: Good teacher. He really seems to care. About what I have no idea.
“the country has an accurate nuclear-equipped intercontinental ballistic missile, yet. “
Does accuracy really matter that much with a nuke?
:>)
Close counts only in horseshoes and nuclear weapons....................
Oh my! That is hilarious and so true.
Truth or propaganda? The more I read about NK, the more I wonder what is true.............
