    North Korea Bomb Threat

    North Korea Claims Test of Hydrogen Bomb for Long-Range Missile a Success


    SEOUL—North Korea said it conducted a sixth and significantly larger nuclear test Sunday, stepping up pressure on President Donald Trump in what is shaping up to be his biggest foreign policy crisis.

    In a televised statement, North Korea described the underground explosion, which triggered a large earthquake, as a “perfect success in the test of a hydrogen bomb for an ICBM.” Pyongyang said “the creditability of the operation of the nuclear warhead is fully guaranteed

    What is one supposed to do ? Kim will listen to a nuclear bomb that already went off on top of him, beyond that, who knows. Assassinate him and his cronies might react with nihilistic zeal.

    Hopefully pray for wisdom...when dealing with evil God is the one who knows....

    Ignoring it and not enforcing the sanctions and demands fuels it...just like telling a kid that certain behavior warrants a certain punishment but then the parent doesn't follow through...previous administrations created this monster through idle threats....IMHO

    I would pretty much bet that we are tracking the position of all their artillery pieces. The first thing we would need to do is to render them inoperable by precision strikes. That takes the teeth right out of the monster's head and leaves him snapping his gums in anger at his enemies.

    From that point on, we need to simply wipe out his whole regime and then show the masses of NK peoples that they can enjoy the peace and prosperity of their neighbors to the south.

    Part of the problem seems to be that China does not want a unified Korea that is democratic instead of communist. They want a like-minded neighbor as a buffer between them and the free world.
