Trump: If North Korea's Kim makes 'overt' threat, 'he will regret it fast'
  • President Trump says Kim Jong Un would "regret" any "overt" threat or action.
  • It follows him saying "military solutions are now fully in place" in the event of more provocations.
  • The U.S. is "locked and loaded," he says.

President Donald Trump on Friday said North Korea's leader would "regret" making any "overt" threat, keeping up the pressure after a string of combative warnings.


"If [King Jong Un] utters one threat in a form of an overt threat — which, by the way, he has been uttering for years, and his family has been uttering for years — or if he does anything with respect to Guam or any place else that's an American territory or an American ally, he will truly regret it. And he will regret it fast," Trump told reporters ahead of a workforce development meeting at his New Jersey golf club.


Trump's latest warning came hours after he issued his bluntest statement yet to North Korea, saying the U.S. military is "locked and loaded" to respond to a Pyongyang provocation.

In a tweet, Trump said, "Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!"

China pledges neutrality - unless US strikes North Korea first

China’s government says it would remain neutral if North Korea attacks the United States, but warned it would defend its Asian neighbor if the U.S. strikes first and tries to overthrow Kim Jong Un’s regime, Chinese state media said Friday.

“If the U.S. and South Korea carry out strikes and try to overthrow the North Korean regime, and change the political pattern of the Korean Peninsula, China will prevent them from doing so,” reported the Global Times, a daily Chinese newspaper controlled by the Communist Party.
 
Trump Said Probing His Finances Would Be A ‘Red Line.’ That’s Exactly What Robert Mueller Is Now Doing.

Mueller has asked Deutsche Bank for data on Trump’s finances for his Russia investigation.

Special counsel Robert Mueller has taken his Russia investigation closer to the heart of Donald Trump, looking into the finances of the president and his family.


Mueller has asked Deutsche Bank to share information on accounts held by the Trump family as part of his investigation into Russia’s alleged attempts to influence the 2016 election, Reuters reported Tuesday. The bank has loaned the Trump Organization millions of dollars over the years.

Trump does not like revealing details of his finances. He still hasn’t released his tax returns, unlike other presidents in recent history.

And in July, Trump implied that he would consider firing Mueller if he started looking into his finances. From his interview with New York Times reporters Peter Baker, Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman:

SCHMIDT: Last thing, if Mueller was looking at your finances and your family finances, unrelated to Russia — is that a red line?

HABERMAN: Would that be a breach of what his actual charge is?

TRUMP: I would say yeah. I would say yes. By the way, I would say, I don’t — I don’t — I mean, it’s possible there’s a condo or something, so, you know, I sell a lot of condo units, and somebody from Russia buys a condo, who knows? I don’t make money from Russia. ...

SCHMIDT: But if he was outside that lane, would that mean he’d have to go? [crosstalk]

HABERMAN: Would you consider ―

TRUMP: No, I think that’s a violation. Look, this is about Russia. So I think if he wants to go, my finances are extremely good, my company is an unbelievably successful company. And actually, when I do my filings, peoples say, “Man.” People have no idea how successful this is. It’s a great company. But I don’t even think about the company anymore. I think about this. ’Cause one thing, when you do this, companies seem very trivial. O.K.? I really mean that. They seem very trivial. But I have no income from Russia. I don’t do business with Russia. ...

HABERMAN: Would you fire Mueller if he went outside of certain parameters of what his charge is? [crosstalk]

SCHMIDT: What would you do? [crosstalk]

TRUMP: I can’t, I can’t answer that question because I don’t think it’s going to happen.

North Korea just tested a missile that experts say could reach anywhere in the US

North Korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Tuesday night that experts say could reach any part of the continental US.

The missile flew about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) and landed in the sea east of Japan, but it crested at a remarkable 4,500 kilometers (2,800 miles) above the Earth's surface, making it the highest and longest-lasting flight North Korea has completed to date.

North Korea had previously tested ICBMs, but those did not display ranges sufficient to hit important targets on the US's East Coast.

David Wright, a physicist and the codirector of the Union of Concerned Scientists' global security program, wrote recently that North Korea's latest missile could likely fly 8,100 miles on a normal trajectory, enough to reach anywhere in the continental US.
 
Then there also was that ''fire and fury like the world has never seen before''.

where is all that 'respect' he came back with from his visit to Eastern countries ?

While I agree with that, I think it's very telling how Morlibons now are upset that we aren't at war. ----Also, some action could be in the works that we don't know of. I suspect it will be covert and Kim Jong Un will appear in the thread "Never heard from again" .
