Pyongyang claims Trump has ‘lit the fuse of war’
DONALD Trump’s bellicose rhetoric aimed at North Korea has pushed the US and the communist dictatorship to the brink of nuclear war, according to the North Korea’s foreign minister.

“By his belligerent and insane statement at the United Nations, Trump, so to say, lit the fuse of war against us,” Ri Yong Ho told Russia’s state-run news agency TASS.

“We need to settle the final score, only with a hail of fire, not words.”

During his maiden speech to the UN, Mr Trump mocked Kim Jong-un, dubbing him “Rocket Man” and warning that the US may be forced to “totally destroy” the rogue nation, the New York Post reported.

“If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph,” Trump said. “Rocket Man is on a suicide mission.”

Ri’s threats came a day after a pair of US bombers for the first time conducted manoeuvres over the Korean peninsula with the South Korean air force, and followed stepped-up sabre-rattling by the president on Twitter.

Mr Trump has repeatedly suggested military action was the only solution to the North’s belligerence and growing nuclear weapons and missile program.

“Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of US negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!” he tweeted on Saturday.


“Our country has been unsuccessfully dealing with North Korea for 25 years, giving billions of dollars & getting nothing. Policy didn’t work!” he added in another tweet two days later.

North Korea has launched two missiles over Japan and conducted its sixth nuclear test in recent weeks as it advances quickly toward its goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the US mainland.

The two Air Force B-1B bombers were joined by two F-15K fighters from the South Korean military after leaving their base in Guam, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

After entering South Korean airspace, the two bombers carried out air-to-ground missile drills in waters off the east coast of South Korea, then flew over the South to waters near China to repeat the drill, the military said.

The foreign minister told TASS that his country was getting close to achieving its goal of assembling a nuclear arsenal.

“We have nearly achieved the final point on the way to our ultimate goal, to achieving a real balance of force with the United States. Our nuclear weapons will never be a subject matter of negotiations as long as the United States’ policy of pressure on the DPRK has not been uprooted once and for all,” he said.

ARSENAL INCREASE

Meanwhile Mr Trump reportedly pushed for a tenfold increase in the country’s nuclear arsenal.

The President told a meeting of his national security advisers in July that he wanted to boost the country’s weapon stocks, NBC News reported.

However the president denied the report, saying he wants the repository modernised and in “tiptop shape”.

In remarks in the Oval Office yesterday Mr Trump denounced the NBC report and said such a big increase was “totally unnecessary”.

“I want to have absolutely, perfectly maintained — which we are in the process of doing — nuclear force,” he said.

“But when they said I want 10 times what we have right now, it’s totally unnecessary, believe me, because I know what we have right now. We won’t need an increase but I want modernisation and I want total rehabilitation. It’s got to be in tiptop shape.”

By saying he wants to modernise the nuclear force, Mr Trump is referring to moving ahead with a plan he inherited from the Obama administration to develop, build and field new submarines armed with nuclear missiles; new nuclear-capable bomber aircraft and a new fleet of land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles.

These would replace existing weapons that are considered outdated. Also in the works is an upgrade of communications systems that enable the president and the Pentagon to command and control the weapons.

Shortly after Mr Trump spoke, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis issued a two-sentence statement saying the news report was false and irresponsible.

“Recent reports that the president called for an increase in the U.S. nuclear arsenal are absolutely false,” Mr Mattis statement said.

Mr Trump’s previous comments about nuclear weapons have caused confusion and concern in some quarters.

Last December, for example, he suggested he favoured expanding the nuclear arsenal.

“The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes,” he said then.

The US is party to a 2010 arms control deal with Russia that limits each nation to 1550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads.

As of September 1, the US had 1393 and Russia had 1561. They agreed to reach the 1550 level or lower by February 2018.

The US currently has about 4000 nuclear warheads earmarked for use in its military stockpile, according to the Federation of American Scientists’ figures cited by Reuters.

Donald Trump Criticizes Obama, Media and NFL on Sean Hannity
President Donald Trump took aim at the media, Colin Kaepernick and Barack Obama during a Wednesday night interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News.

Trump said the NFL should have suspended football player Kaepernick for kneeling during the National Anthem.


"I thought it was terrible," Trump told Hannity of players taking a knee in protest against police brutality and racial injustice. "And then it got bigger and bigger and started mushrooming. And frankly the NFL should have suspended him for one game, and he would have never done it again."

He also placed blame on former U.S. President Obama and other past administrations for not doing enough to curb North Korea's nuclear program.

"This should have been handled 25 years ago, it should have been handled 20 years ago, and 10 years ago, and five years ago," Trump said of ratcheting tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. "It should have been handled by numerous – not just Obama, but certainly President Obama should have taken care of it. Now it's at a point where it's very, very far advanced," he said.

Trump also doubled down on his attacks of the media.

"Media is bad, they are really dishonest people. These are very, very dishonest people in many cases," Trump told Hannity, before saying that not all journalists were bad. "When you’re the one being written about, you know if it's good or bad — and it’s always... they try and make it negative. So the media — I call it fake media. It is fake. So much fake news."

North Korea says 'a nuclear war may break out any moment'

North Korea's deputy U.N. ambassador warned Monday that the situation on the Korean peninsula "has reached the touch-and-go point and a nuclear war may break out any moment."

Kim In Ryong told the U.N. General Assembly's disarmament committee that North Korea is the only country in the world that has been subjected to "such an extreme and direct nuclear threat" from the United States since the 1970s -- and said the country has the right to possess nuclear weapons in self-defence.

He pointed to large-scale military exercises every year using "nuclear assets" and said what is more dangerous is what he called a U.S. plan to stage a "secret operation aimed at the removal of our supreme leadership."

This year, Kim said, North Korea completed its "state nuclear force and thus became the full-fledged nuclear power which possesses the delivery means of various ranges, including the atomic bomb, H-bomb and intercontinental ballistic rockets."

"The entire U.S. mainland is within our firing range and if the U.S. dares to invade our sacred territory even an inch it will not escape our severe punishment in any part of the globe," he warned.

Kim's speech follows escalating threats between North Korea and the United States, and increasingly tough U.N. sanctions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that his country is curtailing economic, scientific and other ties with North Korea in line with U.N. sanctions, and the European Union announced new sanctions on Pyongyang for developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday that diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the North Korean crisis "will continue until the first bomb drops." His commitment to diplomacy came despite President Donald Trump's tweets several weeks ago that his chief envoy was "wasting his time" trying to negotiate with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whom he derisively referred to as "Little Rocket Man."

North Korea's deputy U.N. ambassador called his country's nuclear and missile arsenal "a precious strategic asset that cannot be reversed or bartered for anything."

"Unless the hostile policy and the nuclear threat of the U.S. is thoroughly eradicated, we will never put our nuclear weapons and ballistic rockets on the negotiating table under any circumstances," Kim said.

He told the disarmament committee that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea -- North Korea's official name -- had hoped for a nuclear-free world.

Instead, Kim said, all nuclear states are accelerating the modernization of their weapons and "reviving a nuclear arms race reminiscent of (the) Cold War era." He noted that the nuclear weapon states, including the United States, boycotted negotiations for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons that was approved in July by 122 countries at the United Nations.

"The DPRK consistently supports the total elimination of nuclear weapons and the efforts for denuclearization of the entire world," he said. But as long as the United States rejects the treaty and "constantly threatens and blackmails the DPRK with nuclear weapons ... the DPRK is not in position to accede to the treaty."

This is just the old Cold War script dusted off and updated with a new enemy.

America and most of the west lived under the constant fear of a nuclear war with Russia, it was used to control the people and to make them look to their Government for protection. It worked great for both sides.

They tried to replace the Cold War with the War on Terror, but people just aren't scared enough about Terrorism alone, so they are bringing back an evil Bogey Man with nuclear weapons.
