IMPORTANT TRUMP IN 1999 INTERVIEW SPOKE OF STRIKING N KOREA! HE IS PART OF NWO PLAN ALL ALONG!
Trump
Says U.S. Prepared To Use "Devastating, Military Option" On
North Korea
26 September, 2017
On Tuesday, as President Trump imposed another round of meaningless new sanctions on North Korea's banks, Trump said that while he encouraged the world to work together to end the country’s nuclear program, the U.S. is “totally prepared” for a military option, which he said would be “totally devastating” for North Korea. Which at least provides some additional detail to what H.R. McMaster meant, when he said overnight that the U.S. has prepared "four or five different scenarios" for how the crisis with North Korea will be resolved, adding ominously that “some are uglier than others."

“We
are totally prepared for the second option -- not a preferred option
-- but if we take that option it will be devastating I can tell you
that,”
Trump said during a joint news conference Tuesday at the White House
with Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. “For
North Korea that is called the military option. If we have to take it
we will.”

The
president added that North Korea’s nuclear weapons threaten “the
entire world with unthinkable loss of life” and “all nations must
act now to ensure the regime’s complete denuclearization."
Trump
said his tough words for Kim Jong Un were a reply to the North Korean
leader’s own words. “He’s saying things that should never, ever
be said,” Mr. Trump said.
Trump
also declared North Korea an “outlaw regime” and thanked Chinese
President Xi Jinping for breaking banking ties with his Asian
neighbor and for placing new restrictions on Pyongyang while
enforcing new United Nations sanctions on Kim Jong Un’s regime.
“I
applaud China’s recent action to restrict its trade with North
Korea,” Trump added. “In particular I applaud China for breaking
all banking relationships with North Korea. I want to thank President
Xi.”
The
U.S. Treasury Department stepped up measures Tuesday in the effort to
choke off North Korea from the international financial system by
imposing new penalties on banks and individuals linked to the
country’s financial networks.
According
to Bloomberg,
the U.S. designated eight North Korean banks and 26 North Korean
nationals who act as representatives for the country’s banks,
operating in China, Russia, Libya and the United Arab Emirates.
One
day prior, North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho escalated
tensions by declaring that his country would be within its rights to
shoot down U.S. warplanes flying in international airspace, arguing
that Trump’s tough language at the United Nations last week amount
to a declaration of war. That startled financial markets, coming just
days after the Pentagon sent planes near North Korea’s border.
As discussed
this morning,
Trump's National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said that the U.S.
has gamed out four
or five different scenarios for dealing with North Korea and “some
are uglier than others.”
Speaking at an event in Washington hosted by the Institute for the
Study of War, McMaster said that “there’s not a ‘precision
strike’ that solves the problem,” and “there’s not a military
blockade that can solve the problem. What we hope to do is avoid war,
but we cannot discount that possibility.”
Subsequently,
speaking before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday,
Marine General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
said that North Korea hasn’t made military moves to match its
rhetoric. “While the political space is clearly very charged right
now, we haven’t seen any change in the posture of North Korean
forces,” Dunford said. “We watch that very carefully. We clearly
posture our forces in the event of a provocation or a conflict.”
Nonetheless, Dunford also said it’s best to assume that North Korea
already has the capability to hit the U.S. mainland with a
nuclear-armed ballistic missile and is likely to overcome any
remaining engineering issues.

Emphasizing
that the US is not the one to blame for the escalation of tensions on
the Korean Peninsula, Trump accused his Korean counterpart Kim
Jong-un of “acting
very badly,” and “saying
things that should never, ever be said.”
“And
we're replying to those things, but it is a reply. It is not an
original statement, it is a reply,” Trump
stressed.
The
US State Department also seems to believe that “answering”North
Korea with increased and amplified warmongering rhetoric is an
example of effective diplomacy and communication.
“The
president is an effective communicator. I think people know exactly
where he stands. We have had a good deal of success in pushing
forward with our diplomacy campaign,” said
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert, dodging questions on
whether Trump’s blunt tweeted statements could be damaging to US
foreign policy.
Trump
noted that previous US administrations failed to restrain North
Korea’s nuclear ambitions, which could have been “handled
25 years ago... much more easily.”
“The
various administration left me a mess. But I'll fix the mess. So
we'll see what happens with North Korea,” Trump
vowed, speaking on the lawns of the White House.
Mutually
militant rhetoric from Washington and Pyongyang has been bordering on
an all-out war for months, as the North Korean regime continues to
test and perfect its nuclear striking capabilities.
The
US, has for some time, been contemplating using its military
capabilities to “destroy” North
Korea. On Tuesday Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joseph
Dunford told Congress Washington should assume that North Korea
already has the capability to attack the US with a nuclear weapon and
plan accordingly.
While
Moscow and Beijing have been urging the US and N. Korea to avoid
escalating tensions and pursue diplomacy, Washington has been quick
to reject the Sino-Russian “double freeze” initiative, which
urges the United States to cease its drills with South Korea in
exchange for the North suspending its nuclear weapons programs
Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!
Instead,
Washington and Pyongyang continue on a collision course. On Monday,
North Korea was emphatic that it will defend itself from any US
aggression or that from its regional allies after Trump tweeted over
the weekend that the North Korean leader “won't
be around much longer.”
Trump’s
tweet, came during Saturday’s flyover of US B-1B bombers just off
North Korea’s eastern coast, and after his epic speech at the UN
General Assembly (UNGA) where he vowed to “totally destroy” the
North.
Following
Trump’s UNGA speech, North Korea’s foreign minister, Ri Yong-ho,
told reporters in New York that Kim could be next planning to carry
out a hydrogen bomb test of an “unprecedented
level” over
the Pacific Ocean.
On
Monday, summing up Trump's statements, Ri said the US president has
effectively announced a “declaration
of war” against
North Korea.
“As
long as the US has declared war, from now on, even if US strategic
bombers don’t fly into our airspace, we will hold all the rights to
self-defense, including the right to shoot them down at a time of our
discretion. We will see then who lasts longer,” he
warned.
While
the White House rushed to deny it had “declared
war on North Korea,” the
Pentagon urged the leadership in Pyongyang to “stop
their provocative actions,” promising
to put forward all possible military options for Trump to consider.
North
Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test early this month. In recent
weeks, it also launched a series of ballistic missiles, two of which
flew over Japan. In wake of the latest nuclear test, the UN Security
Council went on to introduce new sanctions on Kim’s regime.
The
new economic restrictions, amongst other measures, prohibit the sale
of natural gas to the North and limits the amount of crude and
refined oil that can be sold to the country. Last week, the White
House unilaterally announced a new, extended travel ban that will
restrict travel to the US from North Korea.
