Trump warns North Korea threats will be met with 'fire and fury' - Polidicks

[url]www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-warns-north-korea-will-be-met-with-fire-and-fury[/url] [QUOTE] President Trump addressed the ongoing crisis between the U.S. and North Korea at a briefing on opioids in New Jersey on Tuesday, issuing a stern warning to the regime for its continued provocations. "North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States," warned Mr. Trump from his golf club in Bedminster. "They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen," he told reporters. "He has been very threatening -- beyond a normal statement," Mr. Trump said of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. "As I said, they will be met with fire, fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before." Mr. Trump's comments come amid reports that a U.S. intelligence assessment concluded North Korea has developed the ability to build a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on top of a ballistic missile, including an intercontinental missile that can reach the United States, CBS News' David Martin confirmed.

I don't see North Korean threats ending any time soon.

That sounds an awful lot like the threats that North Korea itself has been issuing the last couple years. A hard stance needs to be taken against NK, but the language here is a little unsettling.

Dump your Samsung stock now everybody

If Trump seriously drags us into a war...a North Korean War... Kiss your Friends goodbye SK... it ain't going to be pretty...

[QUOTE=proboardslol;52552025]Dump your Samsung stock now everybody[/QUOTE] It's a plot to manipulate the stock market! The US will declare war on North Korea, making Samsung stocks plummet, then Apple releases the iPhone 8 with no home button, causing Samsung stocks to rise again, after Trump has bought them all dirt cheap. :tinfoil:

Two authoritarian-oriented heads of government sending each other baseless threats/warnings

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;52552048]Two authoritarian-oriented heads of government sending each other baseless threats/warnings[/QUOTE] How are they baseless threats? They're both sitting on nuclear stockpiles.

The north Korean threat is real for sure. I just don't trust our retarded president to make any good judgement calls when it comes to this situation.

Trump rants about fire and fury from his vacation home in new jersey, what a true leader

[QUOTE=Judas;52552119]Trump rants about fire and fury from his vacation home in new jersey, what a true leader[/QUOTE] To be fair, only a madman would take a vacation in fuckin' [I]New Jersey[/I].

God he's such a shit speaker. That could've sounded imposing but he repeats it twice with a weird cadence. Hope nothing comes of this, obviously.

Look at Trump's body language as he says this on video; he looks like he is over-compensating and out of his element. [media]https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/895004435713273856[/media]

Like the world has never seen before? Come on now. World has seen some shit.

Read my previous post in a similar thread here: [QUOTE=maddogsamurai;52551992]Trump may be unwilling to back down from his comments, declarations, and generally dumb choices, it's up to Congress to prevent him from launching nukes via checks and balances. Still no reason to keep him around.[/QUOTE] Adding to this, he THINKS he has total control, but that's only when AND ONLY WHEN, Congress ultimately unanimously agrees with his declarations, to take [B][I]any sort of action.[/I][/B]

[QUOTE=Butthurter;52552209]i think he means hes going to show nk the true power of democracy by rubbing his electoral votes into kims face[/QUOTE] I think when he talks he doesn't actually know what he means until some time after.

Don't have to be an anthropologist or something to see that.

I thought crossed arms as a sign of defensiveness or insecurity (particularly with people you don't know personally) was well known. Plus it's not a stance we see from Trump very often. He usually seems quite at ease with the press. [QUOTE=Jordax;52552263]It is what Truman said before Japan got nuked twice, which ended the Second World War almost immediately afterwards.

FYI any attack on the US is an attack on NATO, therefore NATO will be enacted, based on the protocol. The Korean Crisis will probably need all the help it can get to handle the new refugee crisis. Also Russia has a pretty good chance to manipulate key interests behind the scenes since lots of resources will be diverted to Korea. Pretty good chance that the US and it's allies will suffer from this.

Nobody would be stupid enough to let one man alone decide such things. I refuse to believe the US is so fundamentally flawed.
