    Default ?After 10,000 NK threats:rump says if threatened, U.S. will 'totally destroy' North

    Can anyone take this fool seriously any more?? How many times have they already threatened the USA & it's neighbors, whom we are suppose to be protecting~as rockets continue to fly over their heads.. WTF?? If "rockets" flying over your head isn't threatening wtf is??

    In a hard-edged speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Trump offered a grim portrait of a world in peril, adopted a more confrontational approach to solving global challenges from Iran to Venezuela, and gave an unabashed defense of U.S. sovereignty.

    “The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Trump told the 193-member world body, sticking closely to a script.

    His remarks rattled the leaders gathered before him in the green-marbled U.N. General Assembly hall, where minutes earlier U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had appealed for statesmanship.

    As loud, startled murmurs filled the hall, Trump described Kim in an acid tone, saying, “Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime.”

    Trump’s most direct military threat to attack North Korea was his latest expression of concern about Pyongyang’s repeated launching of ballistic missiles over Japan and underground nuclear tests.

    The comments, in Trump’s debut appearance at the General Assembly, reflected what his advisers say is concern about North Korea’s advances in missile technology and the few means available for a peaceful response without China’s help.

    One man in the audience covered his face with his hands shortly after Trump made his “totally destroy” comment.

    ‘WRONG SPEECH, AT THE WRONG TIME’

    Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom crossed her arms.

    “It was the wrong speech, at the wrong time, to the wrong audience,” Wallstrom later told the BBC.

    North Korea’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A junior North Korean diplomat sat in the delegation’s front-row seat for Trump’s speech, the North Korean U.N. mission said.

    Trump’s saber-rattling rhetoric, with the bare-knuckled style he used to win election last November, was in contrast to the comments of some of his own Cabinet members who have stated a preference for a diplomatic solution.
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    The " this" you'd rather have is empty threats, you don't intimidate anyone with what has become hollow bluffs, just the opposite, you empower them

    What Trump said: “The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.”

    What silly Billy claimed he said: "?After 10,000 NK threats:rump says if threatened, U.S. will 'totally destroy' North"

    Can anyone take this fool silly Billy seriously any more?

    The rockets flew through space, which is not usually considered to be a violation of the territory of another nation. Otherwise our satellites would be violating the sovereignty of dozens of nations each day.

    China should immediately resume oil shipments to North Korea. North Korea needs nuclear weapons in order to defend itself and its people from a violent aggressive dictatorship on the american continent.

    Don't they need the definition of a threat? Like you said, it seems they keep launching missiles.

    Pardon me if I don't defer to all of your expert negotiating experience Legion

    Maybe when you tell us what you think should be done I can take you seriously. Until then you are just a whiner

    Have you examined the obvious difference between what Trump said and your thread title yet, silly Billy?

    What Trump said: “The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.”

    What silly Billy claimed he said: "?After 10,000 NK threats:rump says if threatened, U.S. will 'totally destroy' North"

    Can anyone take this fool silly Billy seriously any more?
