North Korea is openly trolling Trump, threatening to nuke NYC in odd fashion

[Madmallard]

Experts have long suggested that North Korea intends to develop a thermonuclear bomb that can reach hold targets in the US mainland at risk as a deterrent, for possible diplomatic concessions, and now, to prove wrong a tweet from President Donald Trump.

A statement from North Korean state media on Monday directly addressed a Trump tweet from December, when he posted that an intercontinental ballistic missile from North Korea "won't happen!"

"The DPRK is about 10,400 km far away from New York. But this is just not a long distance for its strike today," read a statement from North Korean media, hinting it has ICBM capability.

It looks like an ICBM nuclear NK is going to happen. The world doesn't want to do what is necessary to prevent it. The only possible exception is Trump, but NK keeps testing and advancing and he's expressed less interest even in the past month than earlier in the year.

I never thought NK would launch a preemptive attack against the US as the notion is pretty silly. I would like to see NK's regime wiped off the map not because of the threat they pose to the US but because they are evil and don't deserve to have power.

I would think LA or San Francisco would be a more likely target given they are closer. Why did they have to mention NY?

Go for it NK!

My guess would be ping pong un hates Cuomo as much as we do.

Nuke NYC? What's the down side?

None, so long as we can extract all the pizza before it happens.

The fat man does nothing more than postulate his non-existent military prowess. He can wreak havoc on Seoul and that would be catastrophic for SK. His bloviating about successfully attacking the mainland US let alone NY is only attempting to secure his god-like stature to the people he oppresses.

They better watch it.... keep this shit up and you'll be gone soon NK. I would miss Club Vivid

Back in 1941 the Japanese not only did the stupidest thing militarily ever, but they characterised it perfectly......they awoke a sleeping giant.

Go on fat boy, keep poking the giant!

Nuke NYC? What's the down side?

As long as the wind is blowing the right way, none.

The little shits will sneak it on a third party ship and detonate it locally. Like the DNC they are unscrupulous and have no ethics or honor.

This analysis is the most likely. Goes for the crazy Persians too. They'll play with ICBM's just to try to mess with our heads, but the real value of nukes in their hands is the pressure they can apply on their direct neighbors. Even upgraded SCUDs would work for that. They think that we are spineless pussies that will back down in the face of the potential of 10 or 12 million local casualties. They're probably right.

Let's just hope that they realize that the Afghanistan invasion was over 3000 killed, what do they think we'll do over 3 million ?

Even though we could practically walk in in a conventional war (sure, some casualties, but a 10,000:1 kill ratio would not even be optimistic), half the US would be demanding we nuke them anyway. Really, it would probably look more like gulf war 2 than Afghanistan though, we occupy the whole country in a week, and spend a year digging the place up looking for the hole kim is hiding in.

If he nuked NY, even the Chinese would drop him like the toxic waste that he is. They wouldn't want us on their doorstep, but defending him would be a step too far after something like that.
