In a dangerous escalation .. Trump threatens to destroy North Korea!

Baghdad / Sky Press

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States would destroy North Korea if the latter threatened it in self-defense.

"The North Korean regime has committed grave atrocities against its people from starvation, killing and repression," Trump said during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly. "The regime carried out horrific acts of terrorism such as killing the dictator's brother at an international airport," he said. We had no choice but to destroy all of North Korea.

As for Iran, the US president said that his country "can not abide by a nuclear agreement that could ultimately give Tehran a cover for acquiring nuclear weapons. It is time for the whole world to ask the regime of Iran to stop supporting terrorism and respect the sovereignty of neighboring countries."

What's dangerous is to let NOKO have their way.....Trumps resolve to act is the saving grace to the region.

Why Trump’s threat to ‘totally destroy’ North Korea is extraordinary — even for him

[size=56]VIDEO Why Trump’s threat to ‘totally destroy’ North Korea is extraordinary — even for him[/size]

This post has been updated with the White House's response.

President Trump took to the floor of the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday and, in his maiden speech there, called the leader of North Korea “Rocket Man,” decried “loser terrorists” and said certain parts of the world are “in fact, going to hell.”

But Trump's perhaps oddly chosen colloquialisms masked what was a pretty astounding escalation of his rhetoric when it comes to North Korea. Just to be clear: The president of the United States threatened to wipe a country of 25 million people off the map.

“Now North Korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles threatens the entire world with unthinkable loss of human life,” Trump said. He later added: “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. Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself.”

Trump's rhetoric on North Korea has been very tough before. He turned heads last month by threatening to unleash “fire and fury” if North Korea and its leader, Kim Jong Un, threatened the United States. But Trump's speech Tuesday ratcheted things up in two respects: saying the United States would also unleash a massive response on behalf of its allies, and threatening to “totally destroy” the country.

“Fire and fury” could be interpreted as a threat to simply remove Kim and his government; “totally destroy North Korea” seems to be a signal to the North Korean people that they, too, could face annihilation alongside their government leaders. It sounds a lot like Trump is threatening a completely unprecedented effort to wipe out an entire nation, whether through nuclear weapons or more conventional means. It's a remarkably big statement, and the White House will undoubtedly be asked to clarify.

It's also different from the “fire and fury” comment in that this was Trump delivering a prepared speech, in which his words were undoubtedly pored over extensively beforehand. The White House acknowledged after Trump made the “fire and fury” comments that they were ad-libbed, and analysts generally agreed that perhaps the commander in chief got a little carried away and became hyperbolic — as he tends to do.

After the speech, the White House seemed to try to downplay the novelty of Trump's threat, comparing it to what then-President Obama said last year. "We could, obviously, destroy North Korea with our arsenals," Obama said

Actually what we need is a redo of Obama's polished verbiage for another 8 years...I am sure it was working, just needed a little more time and we wouldn't be in this mess... lol!
