Well....what are you waiting for

North Korea took its turn Saturday in the country’s escalating, back-and-fourth with President Trump with the state-run newspaper saying leader Kim Jung Un’s revolutionary army is “capable of fighting any war the U.S. wants.”
The assertion was made in an editorial that also states the Paektusan army is now “on the standby to launch fire into its mainland, waiting for an order of final attack."
The editorial in North Korea on Saturday also said the U.S. "finds itself in an ever worsening dilemma, being thrown into the grip of extreme security unrest by the DPRK. This is tragicomedy of its own making. … If the Trump administration does not want the American empire to meet its tragic doom in its tenure, they had better talk and act properly."

China is the North’s biggest economic partner and source of aid, but says it alone can’t compel Pyongyang to end its nuclear and missile programs.

Hahahah, it would be the “final countdown” for Lil Kim.
Think “Shock and Awe” done by Trump Inc.
N. Korea is being played, but does not seem to care.Sorry but I think the opposite is true. Our idiotic PC culture/mindset won't allow us to react to threats unless there's physical contact.
The threat is as much terrorism as the act and the little bastard knows exactly what he's doing and thinks he knows how far he can go.
I think Trump is not going to stand by much longer without doing something.
Kim has never threatened a first strike - close reading is your friend
You are a poor student of current American leadership.
They know if they did anything it will be the end of their regime!
“Glass parking lot.” No glass parking lots were found after dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Any comments about his little, short fat hands?
North Korea has about 25 million people. It is a very poor country and it cannot feed all these people. In other words, they have a huge surplus of human beings. Suppose there is a war, even a nuclear war. Suppose North Korea loses 5 or 10 million. Kim looks at that as fewer mouths to feed. A win for him and he can blame it on the Americans.
It depends on the soil composition and the yield from the blast. Today’s bombs are H-bombs, not A-bombs and considerably more powerful. I’m pretty sure even a small tactical warhead is going to pretty much ruin your day.
Doesn't that calculation require that li'l Kim is still alive and permitted to remain in power once hostilities cease? Why would he assume we would stop fighting before he's dead?
He can go on TV in a week and tell his people that they successfully wiped out half the USA. They can show pictures of Detroit, show video clips of missiles flying, etc.
His people (outside his military of course) will never know the difference, and he can be their hero of the day.
And if he does he will lose a lot more than "face."
I believe he got an excellent education in private European schools.
To my knowledge our missiles and other tactical nukes and most bombs are not H bombs.
From a Trident boat 500 miles offshore we could lob W88 warheads atop D5 missiles into any part of Norklandia in 6 minutes.
6 minutes to deliver up to 192, 475kt warheads with a CEP of <100 meters.
From a single boat.
It’s apparent they think we won’t do it.
Problem is the NORKs were used to dealing with Clinton and Obama
New sheriff in town
He isn’t going to lose 10 million people without being defeated and killed himself. His plan is to get to a point where we no longer dare attack him.
And then receive boatloads of aid to rebuild his infrastructure
We should have reduced every mountain range in Afghanistan to dust with tactical nuke artillery fire the second the talibunnies and friends ran for hills.
If we had then this little tin horn would not have become so emboldened
