The United States warned North Korea's leadership it would be "utterly destroyed" if war were to break out after Pyongyang test fired its most advanced missile, putting the U.S. mainland within range, in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.


The Trump administration has repeatedly said all options are on the table in dealing with North Korea's ballistic and nuclear weapons programmes, including military ones, but that it still prefers a diplomatic option.

Speaking at an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting, U.S. ambassador Nikki Haley said the United States had never sought war with North Korea.

"If war does come, it will be because of continued acts of aggression like we witnessed yesterday," she said. "...and if war comes, make no mistake, the North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed."


Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping talked on the phone earlier on Wednesday.

"Just spoke to President Xi Jinping of China concerning the provocative actions of North Korea. Additional major sanctions will be imposed on North Korea today. This situation will be handled!" Trump wrote on Twitter.


Previous U.S. administrations have failed to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and a sophisticated missile programme.


Trump, who has previously said the United States would "totally destroy" North Korea if necessary to protect itself and its allies from the nuclear threat, has also struggled to contain Pyongyang since he came to office in January.

Urging China to use its leverage and promising more sanctions against North Korea are two strategies that have borne little fruit so far.


In a speech in Missouri about taxes, Trump, who has traded insults with the North in the past, referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un with a derisive nickname.



"Little Rocket Man. He is a sick puppy," Trump said.

North Korea, which conducted its sixth and largest nuclear bomb test in September, has tested dozens of ballistic missiles under Kim's leadership.

Pyongyang has said its weapons programmes are a necessary defence against U.S. plans to invade.


The United States, which has 28,500 troops in South Korea as a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War, denies any such intention.


The official China Daily newspaper said in an editorial that the latest launch may have been prompted by the Trump administration's decision to label North Korea a sponsor of state terrorism.






North Korean state media said on Wednesday the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was launched from a newly developed vehicle in a “breakthrough” and that the warhead could withstand the pressure of re-entering the atmosphere.






This is the moment North Korea test-fired its most powerful ICBM ever, Hwasong-15 which is capable of hitting U.S. mainland or striking almost anywhere on earth.


The missile flew for around 50 minutes, travelling 1,000km (620 miles), reaching an unprecedented altitude of 2,800 miles, before splashing down in the Sea of Japan

Like Trump like Buhari

This is more than serious.

Is the "Little Rocket Man" a sick puppy?

Make Dem Start The War Already

A map showing the estimated maximum range of North Korea's new Hwasong-15 ICBM which is capable of hitting virtually anywhere in the world with the exception of South America and parts of southern Africa

You trust CNN.

Here is the thing, North Korea is not the only country with Nuclear War heads.
USA has, China has, Russia has, others have.
The united nations under the bullism of US and Allied force regulates countries that should have license to make Nuclear War heads.
Iran wanted to create Nuclear war-heads but the US with backings of UN stopped them. With fear of terrorist attacks on American and allied lands.

North Korea went ahead to create it Nuclear warheads, despite sanctions.
Trust me, they dont have half as much nuclear warheads as the US.

like I said said there is nothing new about the tech, it is just that they consider him a threat and not a deterant that is why it is a news. Do a little Google search you will see that from time to time those big nations do carry out test every once in a while

US can only bark like toothless dog

We said it before that Gadaffi or Sadam would still be alive, if they own a nuke
Nukes is the only weapon, that United Snake of America fears

America military is over hyped. In a conventional warfare North Korea will defeat the US. and force it to withdraw in shame after many years of battle.

Don't say what you don't know I'm a political scientist, I've studied about and still studying about the US Military. The US is currently considered the world's Hegemony(It's not by mouth or rumours or fallacy).

Mr. Political scientist - You’re missing the fact that Amerika has lost everywhere she's gone up against forces of even halfway decent competence, and that in fact, the capability of the Amerikan Army is looking less & less competent every day.

Do you know how Hezbollah & the Tiger Forces have been killing Amerikan special forces like cockroaches in Syria - which is Y Amerika is currently planning to invade Lebanon? You will never see this on CNN.

You’re also missing the fact that too much lawlessness - especially launching an invasion under false premises - into a Country such as North Korea that has never attacked or bully any Nation in the world except only on CNN & BBC - will degrade an entire system & turn and bite its perpetrators very quickly.

At root, the western Hollywood notion that a rugged Amerikan soldier (e.g Rambo, Commando or Chuck Norris) can single-handedly wreak havoc in an enemy territory - is essentially a childish comic-book fantasy.

Do not ever mistake Mother Russia & North Korea for defenceless Libya, Iraq or Afghanistan!

When I see comments like yours, I laugh. All you know is what you see on western media. US. military that can win a war with cattle herders in Afghanistan. North Korea will totally destroy America and expose them as a paper tiger. America only win wars in hollywood movies.
