Unic Press UK: United States President Donald Trump has threatened to annihilate the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). Trump made this threat while addressing the 72nd Annual United Nations General Assembly in New York today, the 19th September 2017. He 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. Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. The United States is ready, willing and able, but hopefully this will not be necessary. It is an outrage that some nations would not only trade with such a regime, but would arm, supply and financially support a country that imperils the world.”
North Korea’s angst toward the United State bothers on what the communist state has denounced as U.S. aggression, viz:
- Test-firing ICBM Minuteman-3 at its Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
- Mobilizing the nuclear strategic bombers currently stationed at its Anderson Air Force Base on Guam in the Pacific.
- Staging a mock nuclear strike drill targeting the strategic resources of North Korea.
Over the years, North Korea has been adamant, seemingly unfazed by U.S. threats of military action. Last month August, the communist State threatened the U.S. military base in Guam, saying it was prepared to make “an enveloping fire in the areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12 in order to contain the U.S. major military bases on Guam.” On 3rd September 2017, N. Korea tested a hydrogen bomb.
Iran
Trump had strong words for Iran, labeling the country a ‘rogue nation’.
“It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that Iran’s government end its pursuit of death and destruction. The Iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose exports are violence, bloodshed and chaos.” (Donald Trump: 19th September 2017)
He reiterated that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) inked between Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers – the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany – was a bad deal. He view is contrary to the position of the International Atomic Energy Association.
