Donald Trump Sets North Korea on Notice: U.S. Nuke Arsenal ‘More Powerful Than Ever Before’

46

President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a not-so-thinly veiled warning to North Korea via Twitter, suggesting the regime — which just announced its military was mulling a preemptive attack on Guam — ought to tread lightly, because America’s nuclear arsenal was “more powerful” than it’s been.

Specifically, he tweeted: “My first order as president was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before.”

He followed with this: “…Hopefully we will never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!”

The tweets came after North Korea sent out a message through state-run media that it was considerating an attack on Guam, an American territory.

North Korea threatened an attack on Guam, a U.S. territory.

From CNN:

North Korea’s military is “examining the operational plan” to strike areas around the US territory of Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic missiles, state-run news agency KCNA said early Wednesday local time.

Specifically, the statement mentioned a potential strike on Andersen Air Force Base designed “to send a serious warning signal to the US.”

The base is one of two on the Pacific island, which are the closest bases on US soil to North Korea, and represent the westernmost tip of the country’s military might.

The MSM, of course, have ordered a freight-load of Depends. The Democrats are still looking for a deal on the same. the Leftist-Progressives prefer using recycled newspapers believing that Trump is a warmonger. The little N Korean despot is accustomed to sanctions, hell, he doesn’t suffer. Finally, Trump has warned this parasite on steroids that he and his tag-along henchmen will feel the wrath of the US if his threats ever take action. As always, numerous leaders of the West appeased Hitler in the pre-war world misreading him at every turn; believing he was a nutter who would fade away like a bad joke.

For once, a Western Leader, Trump, has the moxie, the tenacity to not mollycoddle our enemies, NK or Islam. Rumor has it Depends are sold-out worldwide.

Believe here this is a crisis as great as the Cuban missile crisis in October 1962. What makes this worse is the conventional forces NK has in place just north of Seoul. DEFCON 2, anyone?

N laughing matter, lefties and progressives. It will get ugly before this threat is contained. Years of phony negotiating compromise and appeasement brought the United States to this point. And poor leadership in Washington.

Turn Japan into a vast anti-missile base. That will not only protect Japan, but will protect American bases in the Pacific, and the West Coast of the American mainland.

In order to save the republic, sometimes drastic measures must be taken. How’s that saying go about watering the tree of liberty? Calculate the trajectory of all missiles headed to the USA; allow all which are headed to San Fran and Los Angeles to “get away”. OOPS! Missed those. That will help Rs in the next election; perhaps we can turn our ship around after all. Needs to be done. Sadly.

Problems like we are facing today are always directly related to very bad people trying to retain their power. The communists in North Korea, the Mullahs and military in Iran, the radicals represented by ISIS, Taliban, Al Qaeda, all represent those type of actors. They clearly represent an abominable conduct of iron hand control and death to any who oppose them. We live in a very dangerous world. Though America is a very powerful nation, we have conducted ourselves with sanity and have attempted to avoid wars that in this nuclear age might be totally devastating to this planet. Yet, we have crazies out there that for the sake of power retention will do anything to preserve that power, including risking annihilation. Clearly, some of the blame for our present predicament can be directly related to the failure of this countries leaders to develop whatever was necessary to create a defensive system that would effectively make the threat of missile attacks a non-problem and therefore eviscerate the fear we now have of nuclear destruction. Nevertheless, we have to concede that we are dealing with a very dangerous problem. We must decide how we are going to deal with it. Is there an answer? Comments from those politicians that express “Chamberlin” appeasement commentary is unacceptable, as history has taught us. Threats seem to also have no affect on the crazies like Un. The leaders of the world’s powerful nations must come to recognize those are the facts of life today. They all must be prepared to act with an absolute resolve to stop those who would put this planet at risk of destruction. The vote at the U.N. must be just the beginning. Our leaders, China’s leaders, Russia’s leaders and those leaders of countries that seek to act peacefully for the benefit of their people must meet and set in motion what is necessary to stop the crazies or all will be lost. The U.N. cannot do enough to stop the crazies.That has to be a concerted effort put together directly by the world leaders referred to hereinbefore. To me that is the next step. I am hoping that rather than appeasement, the world leaders recognize the horrible realities that are in place, and that somehow they can manage to meet and face the reality of the morbid dangers that WE ALL FACE. Doing nothing would be a fatal mistake and is not an option!

Nor I. McMaster concerns me too.
I hope DJT takes islam and their methods in general more seriously than he appears to sometimes. At any rate, he is definitely much, much better than anyone else in that regard.
I have a great deal of confidence and hope invested in him, if not in all of his hires.
I suppose if McMaster passes muster with the Israelis, as he appears to, that is at least one positive for him. I just hate hearing about ‘Palestine’, ‘radical’ islam, and other apologetic and revisionist clap trap from any of them.
A lot of this originates in lefty gaslighting. We probably should always bear that in mind.

You should take up the “National Enquirer” to inform yourself of current events instead of whatever presently clouds your perception. He has upheld so many of his campaign promises everyone has lost count. His perceptive statement that the Obhammud administration was tapping his phones at Trump Tower during the campaign proved out as well. Simply stated, when you make pledges you increase hope. When you deliver on those pledges you build trust.

Is it dark where you are?

Need MANY tactical nukes ALL along the border so we can destroy ALL of the men and equipment anywhere near South Korea simultaneously in 1 millisecond. No warning of any kind. Then, immediately after that, eliminate targets farther from the border, and get ready to shoot down anything in the air going south.

Atheists are evil for their islamic friends, who are still butthurt with Soviet Union vs Afghanistan and Chechnya. This way they can state that there are terrorists out there, like fat Lil’ Kim that “have nothing to do with islam” [sentence TM]
Anyway Iran and NK have been busy sharing nuclear weapons technology.

Isn’t it strange how atheist Communist states seem to always be in bed w/islamic dictatorships/theocracies? The USSR backed the Arapigs in their three separate invasions of Israel. In the last invasion of Israel, the Yom Kippur War, the USSR not only threatened direct military intervention when Israel began kicking muslum a$$, but began mobilizing their forces to do so — to which Nixon responded w/the highest Defcon level seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Communists see Muslims as their useful idiots. Muslims see communists as the same. Along the way the s*** hits the fan now and then, like it did in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. But after a while, they are back to taqyaa each other, for their own personal reasons.
The current president of chechenya is a muslim kid, Putin’s puppet, who’s corrupt as they come, but is excellent at licking Putin’s balls.

A pre-emptive strike may be necessary, as for decades north korea has been aggressively belligerent. There will be considerable collateral damage, but, less than if north korea lands the first punch. That would give China and Russia time to intervene, as well as the limp dicks of western europe. It is time for America to take control as the longer it is put off, the more expensive it will be.

If only you were advising Trump. Timing is key. The Dems are already trying to pass something requiring Congress’ approval before Trump can order a nuclear launch. What a seditious play to undermine our President and empower our enemies.

It is only a matter of time before the nuclear arsenals of england and france are fully controlled by the muslim overlords that have invaded western europe. It is very likely they will try to use them to invoke the mahdi to arrive. There had best be a response prepared.

By whom? Our globalist, islamist-lovin’ generals? Trump should be bringing back all of the military men Obama purged and follow their advice, not McMasters’, when firing those traitors who have infiltrated our military.

We need to remove all girlymen, Muslims, Muslim sympathizers and scaredy-cat peaceniks from the military.

Time to work in concert with Israel to take out Iran and take care of fat boy Kim with an overnight sortie and destroying his satellites. Enough. Such a display might inspire the pathetic Europeans to fight back (or not).

North Korea is a PRC puppet state. The PRC went to war w/UN forces in North Korea (aka. the Korean War).
Kim Jong-un is engaging in nothing but saber rattling. If he were to launch a nuclear strike against anyone the PRC would be all over him like a wet blanket if his own generals didn’t initiate a coup of their own first.

No go. NK has one of the largest armies in the world (in manpower), which is in fact a large % of the population, and to whom the remaining others (trusted and untrusted) are forced to work, entirely to support the war machine.

Several members of the US punditry, a.k.a. “the usual suspects”, are criticizing President Trump for his threatening remarks, saying no US leader has ever done such before. I beg to disagree. The last three Presidents made similar statements though it took every inch of their timid manhood to do so. Truman used almost the same words before the skies at Hiroshima lit up.

FDR’s Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, told the Japanese, “We are not going to bring you to justice. We are going to bring you to your knees.”

Nk goals are clear. Conquer SK for communism, get money for extortion deals of us and it’s allies, get revenge for wwii from Japan, and come out as a badass to its army and it’s internal supporters.
