In reply to the discussion: 'Unprecedented public attack': Widespread shock as Trump blasts the Pentagon -- from the White House [View all]TomCADem
(17,393 posts)81. Trump promises North Korea 'fire and fury' over nuke threat
Yep, I guess we will all forget Trump's bellicose rhetoric toward North Korea and the fact that he was itching to go to war with Iran before COVID hit.
https://www.cnn.com/2017/08/08/politics/north-korea-missile-ready-nuclear-weapons/index.html
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump issued an extraordinary ultimatum to North Korea on Tuesday warning Pyongyang not to make any more threats against the United States or they will "face fire and fury like the world has never seen," during a photo op at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
"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 beyond a normal state. They will be met with fire, fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before," he said.
Trump's harsh words come as US intelligence analysts have assessed that North Korea has produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead, according to multiple sources familiar with the analysis of North Korea's missile and nuclear program.
Soon after Trump's comments, North Korea issued a statement saying it was "examining the operational plan" to strike areas around the US territory of Guam in the Pacific, including the Andersen Air Force base.
