    Someone gave the puppet a green light.
    What a fcuking eegit Trump is!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,093 ✭✭✭gitzy16v


    Trump is no more in charge of America than Mickey D is in charge of Ireland

    They have an ICBM on the move. Convenient for a pre-emptive strike.

    Is Trump firing missiles all over the place?
    Is he testing out nuclear weapons?

    Hope you get loads of thanks for your post!

    Sick to death of this 50 odd year problem being associated with trump.

    Edit: Its getting silly that everything the US does these days is Trumps fault when in reality the United States has been carrying on like this for as long as most of us can remember.....Its a US policy not a trump policy.
    If there is anybody to blame its Kim Jong Un not fcuking trump....and Im a big opponent of Americas interference in world affairs.

    I'm fully supportive of military intervention here but I dont think Trump is the best person to have access to nuclear weapons at this present time.

    Perhaps, but that doesn't mean he's wrong on this occasion.

    I'd be very worried if i was in South Korea right now. The situation is spinning out of control.

    Head of IAEA quoted as saying "NK are now a global nuclear threat". Also the blast magnitude was the "highest ever recorded" in the recent test.

    Horse****. Surely Tsar Bomba was the highest recorded in terms of blast magnitude

    We could be looking at the first truly global conflict where nuclear weapons will be used from the outset. At least in WW2 there was the invasion of Normandy and it was war fought by the old rules of infantry, artillery, moving battalions and brigades around, etc. Yes two nuclear weapons were developed and ultimately used to end the war but what we are seeing here is just completely uncharted waters, regarding the new rules of warfare.


    KJU could in theory take out Japan tonight or South Korea, if he got one away and it wasn't intercepted, he could put a nuclear device on a sub and just send the sub to wherever it is he wants to take out and a 100KT bomb is no laughing matter.

    A 100KT device would probably kill most people in Ireland if it was landed in the midlands...

    Could have but didn't. Jesus Christ, stop your scaremongering.

    Mickey D doesn't have a red button, Trump does! BIG difference.

    The Tsar bomb was an air blast, the NK one was underground and that blast caused an earthquake.

    I'm sure that the Tsar bomb still holds the record of being the biggest bang on Earth.

    From wikipedia:
    The bomb had a yield of 50 megaton TNT (210 PJ). In theory, it had a maximum yield of 100 megatons if it were to have included a U-238 tamper, but because only one bomb was built, this was never demonstrated. The single bomb was detonated at the Sukhoy Nos cape of Severny Island, part of Novaya Zemlya.[7][8][9]

    He will be the first American president to go to war for the right reasons since the 1940's

    Biggest ever from North Korea I'm sure is what the IAEA meant.

    Nothing is "suddenly" about this.

    It is the culmination of many years of work with assistance from several other nations.

    Also North Korean schools are constantly on the look out for very bright pupils...these are then given special training to develop their talents.
    End result is they have a lot of very talented people working on projects like the nuclear programme.

    Incompetent thicks don't get big jobs there like they do in Ireland :)

    And then they get sent abroad. Kim studied in Switzerland.

    You must have missed that mother of all bombs that the US dropped on Afghanistan there a short while ago.

    Amazing how quickly US crimes are washed from the mind.
