President-elect Donald Trump promised his policies would “Make America Safe Again” while putting America first on the White House foreign policy priority list.
Just 17 days from taking office, Trump is already delivering on those promises.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter to vow that North Korea won’t develop a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the United States.
It has globalists and liberal apologists furious — and has stunned the rest of the world.
Views vary, sometimes wildly, on the exact state of North Korea’s closely guarded nuclear and missile programs, but after five atomic test explosions and a rising number of ballistic missile test launches, most experts believe North Korea is closer to arming short- and mid-range missiles with atomic warheads.
That would allow Pyongyang to threaten U.S. forces stationed in Asia and add teeth to its threat last year to use nuclear weapons to “sweep Guam, the base of provocations, from the surface of the earth.”
North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017
Guam is a strategically important U.S. territory in the Pacific. Some experts see the U.S. mainland as potentially within reach in as little as five years if North Korea’s nuclear progress isn’t stopped.
Trump’s tweet on Monday night was in response to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who said Sunday in his annual New Year’s address that preparations for launching an intercontinental ballistic missile have “reached the final stage.” He did not explicitly say a test was imminent.
The morning after the tweet, top aide Kellyanne Conway said that Trump was putting North Korea “on notice.” Conway, who will serve as Trump’s White House counselor, promised that as president, Trump “will stand between (North Korea) and missile capabilities.”
North Korea, poor, suspicious of outsiders and governed by a vicious third-generation dictator, is not afraid to push tensions on the Korean Peninsula to the brink. Pyongyang could be among Trump’s top foreign policy challenges.
President Barack Obama has been regularly criticized for doing too little to dissuade the heavily armed country — and there’s a general consensus that Pyongyang has made significant nuclear and missile progress under Kim, who took over after his father, Kim Jong Il, died in late 2011.
Kim has conducted three of the country’s five total nuclear tests, including two last year. Propaganda out of Pyongyang makes it clear that North Korea views nuclear weapons as essential to keeping at bay U.S. and South Korean forces it says are intent on its destruction.
Some U.S. experts believe North Korea may have enough fuel for about 20 bombs and can add a possible half dozen more each year.
Fuel is one thing; it’s much more difficult to develop the technology needed to build bombs small enough to fit on missile tips. Each new nuclear test, however, pushes the North another big step toward its goal of an arsenal of nuclear missiles capable of hitting the U.S. mainland.
Faced with ineffective pressure from Obama, Kim Jong Un has already conducted more ballistic missile tests, including from submarines, in his short time in power than his father did during his entire 18-year reign, Graham wrote last year.
This has allowed “refinements” in solid propellants, road mobility and experiments with vertical launches to high altitudes that could complicate U.S. and Japanese missile defense systems’ efforts to intercept, Graham wrote.
So, how could Trump pull off what Obama has failed to do and reverse North Korea’s march towards a nuclear missile capable of reaching U.S. soil?
Experts say the key is China — and Trump is already applying the pressure.
China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017
While Beijing has publicly reprimanded Pyongyang after nuclear tests and has agreed to rounds of U.N. sanctions against the North, critics say China hasn’t done nearly enough to tighten economic pressure.
Trump may change that — quickly.
Comment “Disarm them!” below if you support Donald Trump
The Associated Press contributed to this article
North Korea needs help from other countries in order to survive. Oil is a big problem, also food. They don’t have enough of either to support the people. Cut their supply line off and they will come around.
He does not care about taking care of his own people only cares for greed and power, the people can do without and die for all he cares he is like the democrats power and greed, and t of trying to undue the rlection hen they should in court fighting for survival outside of a prison cell.hey are showing every minute f everyday
Sounds familiar!! He & Trump could be Twinsies!!
You are so dumb and so liberal ,can not wait for you and your dumbass liberals to be put out of a decent America
I second that motion!!!
You are the dumb one. Obviously you voted for dumb Trump. He is dangerous and unhinged.
Amen Keith
Yup, with du.p trump being the dumber of the two !
Yep, that didn’t work for Japan when the Pentagon antagonists cut off Japan’s oil and a list that caused Japan to go ahead and strike. The Pentagon knew all along where the Japanese were steaming to and lined up the Navy ships and sacraficed lives just like they did in 9 11. Kennedy was on the correct path to shut down CIA and Federal Reserve.
Pentagon did not exist in 1941. War Department is the correct term.
You need to check your history, I mean you suck at history!
Wake up everyday now thanking God for putting Trump in there, There has never been a president in History like Trump
We will talk when $hit hits the fan.. or maybe not!? We might all be dead. Why are you thanking God? Trump is tge son of Lucifer! Do you support all pedophiles or just Trump?!
You mean like Bill??
Good come back there is no way that liberal can defend Bill!
your opinions are out in left field. You need to study the facts better.
Your absolutely right on point!
Pedophile, when has anyone acussed Trump of being a pedophile, now if we were talking bill clinton we might believe that, but not Donald Trump n
Yeah trump, do some research. Bill chose women who could decide. Morally wrong but not illegal !
Roux get a grip. Sore losers are like this. Can’t stand the fact there is someone brighter than Obama and Hillary to lead our country. He sure can’t do any more damage than Obama has or Hillary would had she won.
Roux, Gee!! you are an uninformed embicile, you better watch your self.
TRoll alert without a doubt.
You are correct. We have NEVER had someone so mentally unstable even close to being in the white house
If you want to kill a snake you cut off its head. So the US should stop trying to reason with or try more sanctions with North Korea. You cannot allow this poisonous MUSHROOM to grow any bigger.Nothing less than a pre-emptive strike will solve the problem. Just do a proper job! Just be ready/prepared for a backlash strike from the Scorpion on South Korea. Sad that innocent people must die, but if you want to remove a cancer then some healthy tissue must also be cut out…..
If N.K. wants nukes we should deliver the nuke to them. On the 4th of July. What a great fireworks show that’d be. and while we’re at it let’s give Iran a few too!
Great idea! I love it.
George Patton said, WAR IS HELL !!!
I agree. Give China 3 months to permanently cure the problem or exterminate the entire little shit hole!
Dis arm them!
HOW ?THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SET AROUND WAITING TO LET YOU TAKE THEIR ARMS ANY MORE THAN THE 150,000,000 in the US are going to set around and let the UN take away their 300,000,000 or more guns
The US has a few very precise missiles in its arsenal. Next time N Korea rolls one of their rockets onto the launch pad deliver a strike to that exact location. Just blow up their rocket before it takes off. We have the capability to do this. Now we need President and Military Leaders with the moxy to actually do it. And maybe another well-placed missile strike to Crazy Kim’s palace.
They should be disarmed, one way or another. China will not do anything to stop N Korea until it upsets their apple cart or rice cart.
The current dictator of North Korea has enough food and fuel to sustain himself, his ruling elite, and his military. As far as providing for his country, he has already demonstrated his attitude of total apathy towards them. If you think he will make decisions based on the needs of his people, you are living in La La Land.
Good for you. I completely agree !
That little dictator in North Korea should take a step or two backward, take a good look. and take “HEED”!! On 20 January the United States of America will have at the helm someone that is 100% American!! With allegiance to America and Americans first and foremost!!!! Henceforth, it will be unwise to tease the EAGLE!! Eight years was more than enough, the party’s over!!
You are delusional ! Dump trump is a weasel. He is a lot of talk and no substance. He cares for no one other than, himself, his family and the appointees he ‘wants’ for his cabinet. He would watch you and all like you blow up if it would benefit him
Get real !
One of the ‘other countries’ is China.
I think we should encourage the fat spoiled kid to keep firing his bottle rockets, the second they leave their home territory, our subs and ships could use them for live target practice, even better if we could somehow take control of the rockets, U turn them and send them to kims viewing stand and watch that fat “F” run like hell!
You repubs are a bunch of mean angry people. Maybe the world would be better just to blow up all of you. . .
A 67 year old problem. At least on January 20th the U.S. will have a leader who will stand up to tyrants and look out for America’s interests. I only hope that if the U.S. ever needs to take military action, that the sons and daughters of the wealthy and politically connected serve alongside the working class in our military. It’s their country too.
Perhaps you have never been to West Point,or heard that Joe Biden’s kid,and many from the so called elite class,actually show up an defend basic values of freedom.William
@ William: I’d say that the sons and daughters of those who make over $100,000 in the U.S. comprise a very tiny percentage of those serving in our military today. Funny you mention Biden. He set a record for getting deferments from the draft close to 50 years back. Look at our congress and judges. A very tiny percent have served in our military. The vast majority since the late 1960’s to present are the sons and daughters of the working class and poor.
I think every able-bodied young man or lady should come right out of HS & go straight into the service of their choice for year & half or two yrs. After the two yrs., they could serve another 3 yrs in the reserve, if our country needed them. I would say let the ” powers. to be ‘ & politicians work out the details. I think it would help our young ppl. mature & maybe learn some patriotism for the country. The world is becoming more complicated, & most of our young ppl & some of the older ppl., just think we will always be able to handle any conflicts that come our way. We have a host of young ppl. who are anti-military & older ppl. too. I think we could offer some incentive for their service in assisting them in their college endeavors. Just a thought, but I’m sure Mr Trump has something in mind, if he makes good on increasing our military.
In WWII every fit HS Grad served and when they were Honorably Discharged they were given the choice of collage under the GI Bill. IT SURE MATURED an ADVANCED our culture. Make it permanent !!!!
Sounds good to me! It would also give discipline to young people who receive NONE from parents or others. Then they could become men and women of purpose and could help keep our country free while having an income and training for the future.
You can thank BILL the COMMI CLINTON for most of their missile tech.
Trump failed to serve during Vietnam He got his deferments
Bill Clinton was actually drafted when he ran to the UK to avoid reporting. IMO that is worse than seeking a deferment.
You are right. He is a spinless wuss. Probably couldn’t get those stubby fingers around a gun and his orange hair would be a good target.
Unlike the events that occurred on the Korean Peninsula in the early 50’s, the conflict there will not have China backing the North. Communist or not, China does realize the truly unstable character in this drama is not President elect Donald Trump, but the current dictator of North Korea. As far as who will actually be involved in ground activity, it is doubtful there will be any. The conflict there will be decided in a matter of minutes, not years, and ground forces will be the last option used, so you needn’t worry about whether a politician’s or a rich man’s son will be fighting next to yours.
The boots on the ground will be will be when the dust settles and it’ll mostly be NGO’s (read bleeding hearts) that go over there to save the “innocent” ones.
Disarm them!!!
Disarm them!!
Now that a real man resides in the White House as opposed to the wimp we’ll be viewed differently by the world – we’ll be respected as opposed to pitied and belittled.
North Korea has made statements to there plans of evil ways they want to put into effect which is evident in the way they treat there own people.
If Kim Jung Un is expecting to attack the USA with his plans on delivering nuclear weapons, then he may as well kiss his citizens and country a fond fare well for Trump should retaliate with a full blown retaliation of force against that country.

Tell China to stop Kim’s nuclear war program. If they refuse, threaten to arm Taiwan (and other countries, such as Japan) with nuclear weapons. Does China really want nuclear proliferation in the Far East — by the very countries over which it wushes to exercise dominion?
Robert,
You don’t tell China anything. You can ask, nicely. As far as arming Japan with nuclear weapons, they may already have them. You forget that the U.S. still has bases on Japanese soil. As far as Taiwan goes, I was living on Homestead A.F.B. in South Florida during the early sixties when our country had a situation arise with Russia arming Cuba with nuclear weapons. Do you think China is going to allow the U.S. to arm Taiwan with nukes? China will react the same way we reacted towards Russia if we try parking nuclear weapons on their doorstep.

Food and fuel could be a problem when it is stopped. It is a non violent way of getting the message across and less expensive to put in place. How many reserves do they in place to combat this issue?

North Korea is INNOCENT the WACKED OUT EGOMANIAC KIM needs annihilation! Leah the innocent people alone and keep them safe!
Kim Jong Un is a pudgy little turd whose tyrannical rule was cemented by his evil father and grandfather.
Do United States should not be in the business a regime change, however North Korea is right for it.
During the 1950-1953 “police action” toward north Korea, Kim Jong “Ill” and his stupid fatso son, “UN” were spared complete annihilation by the humans protecting the people the kimjongs were trying to wipe off the Earth. Now Fatso thinks he’s going to finish what his father started. A meaningful deterrant: NUKE THE GOOK PUKE ! ! ! ! !
Police Action my ass, it was out and out WAR!
Disarm North Korea!!!!! NOW!!!!!
Just like WWII with the Russians, we should have listened to my hero General Patton and kicked ass all the way to Moscow.
AND
Just like Viet Nam, we should have bombed the hell our of Hanoi and ended the war in a week. It worked in Japan.
AND
we have always had problems with N. Korea because of the half ass way they ended that conflict.
We need to bitch slap that little fat brat bully, get him out of there.
We have done it in other places.
He is worse than his crazy old man.
Had the Korean conflict not been concluded incorrectly. We would not have this problem. The PW damn losers in DC had no foresight.
Pres. DT is the man for the job of defusing this.
ALSO
Shut up…. you fat ugly pig there is nothing rosie about your disgusting fat ugly person inside or out. You are a disgusting no class no respect non patriotic animal that needs to be exiled.
Wow, such venomous anger . You repubs sure can talk, but that is all !
Kim himself is the problem, not the entire country!
Trump will squash the little commie dictator like a bug if he has to. There are many ways to do this. It will be very interesting to watch.
Disarm them
Disarm them
I support President elect Donald Trump. He will do the right thing to protect our country. He loves this land and the people. Unlike the wimp we have as President now.
Got that right Sandra
Disarm him quickly!!
He’s a menace to society and his own people.
Finish the job the US didn’t do in the 50s. Bomb the country flat and end the problem and put the fear of GOD and the US into China.
kim jong II sure had a UGLY KID. no wonder North Korea, can,t get any were in the world, they have a BUTT UGLY STUPID want-ta be leader , I pray for you GOOD PEOPLE of NORTH KOREA, that some day you all will be free an SOUTH KOREA
The WORLD would be VERY LUCKY , if kim jong an his generals an staff, were to watch a nuclear bomb test that was a HUGE FAILURE , an they were all VAPORIZED.
My father always said in business, look out for the lIttle guy as he will do almost anything to get attention! KJU is just one example.
Now we are going to have a president with balls and not a Muslim selling us out. obama is out and thank God for that. Bye bye obama wimp.
THANKS BILL CLINTON
We have count less old bombs that we pay billions to take apart and disarm why not use them drop them on our isis,Korea and all the rest of them .wipe them all off the face of the earth.
Bomb the hell out of them.. then take the country and claim it as our country.. Don’t give it back to them. If we would of taken Iraq as our country Issl wouldn’t be a problem now.. President Trump will be a strong leader He’s not going to take anybody’s crap…
Disarm them!
Trump bringing FORD Mo. Co. (Jobs).. back to Michigan…!…. I love it… Mexico can go back to flipping Tacos…
Trump may be right about nukes on missiles fired from N.K., we have the power to stop those, the worry is that N.K. has subs, many of them , they are acquiring the technology to fire nukes from the subs,if those subs get close to US shores and fire , how do you stop them? not easy.
Do you honestly think that China will stand by and let us kick ass on North Korea? It would be the beginning of a long and tragic war between North Korea and China. China inserted itself back in the 50’s and they would do it again no matter what the reason is for going into North Korea. They are not taking action to stop North Korea from arming itself with nuclear weapons as they should. China is a string puller and hold s the strings on North Korea.
Trump tells it like it is and isn’t going to let other countries try to intimidate him. A President should never serve in “fear”. I feel like Trump has done more with foreign countries since becoming the President Elect than Obama did in 8 years. Obama wanted to create a legacy, not do what was best for our country.
Although i don’t like the CIA and how many of it’s people are importing and selling drugs all over the world(especially coke and heroin), they are VERY good at assassinating people. Un should simply be taken out, by whatever means necessary, and that entire dynasty ended. There are at least a few N. Korean generals who would be glad of that vacuum, and who are secretly sick to death of the current status quo: worship that pig as if he were a god, or go to prison camp..and be worked to death, or just murdered.
Of course, there are several generations of brainwashed people who will mourn the loss of their god, and be angry because of that, but with patience and kindness these may well be redeemable. The US has many de-programmers.
Tell Israel N. Korea’s leader is a Muslim. Problem solved.
And no one has had the guts to mention this yet, but Obama better be looking over his ass after he is out of office. Israel has a long memory.
As many public appearances as Kim Jong Un makes, if Trump wanted to eliminate the problem, he would.
I hope it doesn’t come to that, but the unprovoked threats that UN makes to the USA, will most likely result
in a response that UN won’t be able to dodge. Hopefully, the North Korean people will then have a reasonable
amount of actual freedom. Amen.
disarm them!!!!!
Disarm them while you still can. That piece of shit in the WH now is too chicken shit to do anything if he knew how, which he doesn’t have a fuckin clue. It takes some balls, which he is devoid of.
Why does America pander to China. North Korea is China baby. China needs America. America does not need China. The time has come for America to rise up. Energy independent is the first step. I am also sick with being told we can not deport illegal migrants.
DISARM THEM!!!
President Trump isn’t going to be the spineless leader that President Obama is. China needs to be held responsible for their support of people like Kim Jong Un. A great way to hold China responsible would be to put a 10 percent tariff on every Chinese good entering the United States. This would send a message to China and suddenly make it easier for U.S. factories to compete against the cheap Chinese goods flooding our nation.
President Trump may have a little talk with Kim Jong Un. The North Korean president realized President Obama is weak. He is likely to find a different caliber of leader in President Trump.
Got to give President Trump credit, he has done more than the last four Presidents combined and he hasn’t even been sworn in yet. What makes me smile is that the liberals are crapping their safe spaces.
KIM JONG THE LITTLE KONG NEEDS A SPANKING AND PRES ELECT TRUMP WILL GLADY CAARY IT OUT. I AM GOING TO BE PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY AGAIN AFTER OBUMMER IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Disarm them!”
I WONDER WHAT YOU PEOPLE WILL THINK WHEN THE BEAST HILLARY AND MICHELLE OBUMMER WILL RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN 2017, THE FILTHY HILLY WILL TRY ANYTHING FOR POWER UNLESS PRES ELECT TRUMP LOCKS HER UP FOR GOOD. SHE AND BILLY THE WHOREMASTER PEDOPHILE WILL BE AT TRUMPS INAUGURATION, SO SHE CAN KISS TRUMPS ASS SO HE WON’T JAIL HER.
North Korea is a strategic wild card in China’s hand which can be played as China chooses.
North Korea is China’s Trojan horse.
The stakes are very high here. Please tread carefully Mr. president. There are over seven billion lives riding on this bet!
TRUMP WILL FIX HIM AND THEIR LITTLE COUNTRY – I TRUST TRUMP COMPLETELY
President Trump is a capable entity, who can probably sell sand to the Saudis. However, in this most complicated world situation, President trump can be likened to a great musician, who can play all the instruments. However, he cannot be a one man band. In other words, the nature of the game dictates that he has to play with the the rest of the world band. What’s more, they’re all playing to different musical arrangement. Clearly, it’s hard to get a hit song out of such a band.
IT’S BEEN A COUPLE OF THOUSAND YEARS SINCE THE WORLD HAS SEEN A DIVINE MIRACLE. I think that any time after January 20th, would be a good time for one!! Let’s hope and pray that President Trump turns out to be that miracle.
More the fool, are you !
‘I tell ya… life ain’t easy for a boy named Sue.’
‘boy named Kim’, though, comes off as spoiled despot brat !!!
This kid needs to realize if the US was going to exterminate N. Korea it would have done so when he father was in charge. The US had Nukes then, so why would the US use nukes now? Well the only reason is because Junior has this idea he will be respected if he has nuclear weapons, and threatens people with them. Not going to get it. I will say he will become a hero, and well respected if he gets rid of his program, and everything will change, with more trade and support for North Korea. Up to him, whether he wants things to turn good, or bad, because if he decides to use his Nukes, N. Korea will only be smoke and ashes in the end. It is so small that One Bomb will take him clearly out. Americans don’t want that to happen, and no one does. So lets hope he is smart enough to live like his father did, a good man to the people.
North Korea will stop it’s nuclear threats when those in the US miltary and South Korea gov’ts stop their provocations and threats to invade, attack North Korea.
“Disarm them”. I have always supported President-Elect Donald Trump from day one when announced his running for Presidency. I still support President-Elect Trump, and I always will support him and his staff.
You are a fool also. The is surely.misguided trust.
