Never a dull moment

Dangerous words from the President of the United States.

Donald Trump has just told a U.N. General Assembly that the United States will have no hesitation in the total destruction of North Korea, should Kim J0ng-Un continue to test nuclear weapons.

“If it [the US] forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Trump told the assembly during his maiden appearance on such a stage.

Referring to Kim Jong-Un, he added:

“Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for him and his regime. The United States is ready, willing and able but hopefully this will not be necessary.”
