Trump Evangelical Adviser: God Is Totally Cool With Nuking North Korea
“God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un.”

A right-wing pastor who serves on Donald Trump’s evangelical advisory board claims God has given the president “full power” to launch an attack on North Korea.

Robert Jeffress, head of the First Baptist Dallas megachurch, told CBN on Tuesday that a biblical passage in Romans allows rulers to use “whatever means necessary ― including war ― to stop evil.”

He said:

“In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un. I’m heartened to see that our president ― contrary to what we’ve seen with past administrations who have taken, at best, a sheepish stance toward dictators and oppressors ― will not tolerate any threat against the American people.”

Why a North Korean miniaturised hydrogen bomb would be a game changer

By Anne Barker

If indeed Pyongyang has developed a miniaturised bomb, that would be a game changer.

Because it means North Korea has mastered the technology to build a Hydrogen bomb that is exponentially more powerful than an atomic bomb and could feasibly fit onto the end of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

It would mean the perceived threat from North Korea's nuclear program is far more serious than thought.

And specifically, its threats to attack the US mainland — and potentially its allies, including Australia — can no longer be taken as just sabre rattling.

Trump’s Warning To North Korea Called ‘Exactly Wrong’ And ‘Reckless’

“That is about the stupidest and most dangerous statement I have ever heard an American president make.”

By Matt Ferner

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to North Korea on Tuesday promising to unleash “fire, fury and, frankly, power, the likes of which this world has never seen before” if the country continues to escalate its threats against the U.S.

“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” Trump said Tuesday in a short statement to reporters before a meeting on the national opioid crisis. “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. [North Korean leader Kim Jong Un] has been very threatening beyond a normal state.”

Trump’s remarks at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, only add tension to an already dangerous standoff with North Korea, several experts who spoke to HuffPost warned. Over the years, the U.S. has attempted to prevent the growth of North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and development of missile technology at various times using sanctions, diplomacy and the threat of military action. But nothing has fully obstructed the nation’s advancements.

“That is about the stupidest and most dangerous statement I have ever heard an American president make,” John Mecklin, editor-in-chief of Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said to HuffPost. The Bulletin created the “Doomsday Clock,” a symbolic representation of humanity’s proximity to apocalyptic destruction.

Trump’s remarks followed reports Tuesday from NBC News and The Washington Post that North Korea has developed a nuclear warhead small enough to fit inside one of its long-range missiles.

The successful miniaturization of a nuclear weapon would mark a major advancement for North Korea’s nuclear program. While U.S. intelligence officials do not know whether North Korea has tested the miniaturized warhead yet, the reports come on the heels of two recent successful test-launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles that could reach the U.S.

Trump’s remarks closely followed fierce rhetoric from Pyongyang in response to new international sanctions against the isolated communist nation. “Should the U.S. pounce upon the DPRK with military force at last, the DPRK is ready to teach the U.S. a severe lesson with its strategic nuclear force,” Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho said in a statement, using the acronym for the official name, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

While North Korea’s strong language came as no surprise ― Kim has put out countless declarations of war against the U.S. throughout the years ― Mecklin argues that Trump’s response of heightened rhetoric is “exactly backwards.”

“It’s exactly wrong. It increases the likelihood of nuclear war. And those kind of threats are just not something an American president should make,” Mecklin said.

In January, Mecklin’s group moved the Doomsday Clock’s minute hand 30 seconds closer to midnight ― the hour symbolizing global catastrophe. The minute hand is now at 2½ minutes to midnight, closer than it has been since 1953, when it hit 2 minutes following the testing of hydrogen bombs by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Trump’s comments on nuclear arms and climate issues were among the factors the group took into consideration in advancing the clock this year.

MIT linguistics professor emeritus and renowned foreign policy critic Noam Chomsky agreed with Mecklin’s assessment. “Trump’s statement is extremely dangerous,” Chomsky said. According to the professor, the only reasonable approach the U.S. should take with North Korea is to “pursue the negotiating option put forth by China and North Korea, based on North Korea’s freezing its nuclear and weapons programs and the U.S. ending threatening military maneuvers on North Korea’s borders,” and then seek to move forward from there.

Is there an equivalent to Godwin's Law?

It's easy, though. Pretty much everything Tony Stark/Ak Forty Seven quotes is "bullshiat".

I sure hope that everyone there in Guam stays calm. I dont want to see it tip over if people start panicking and running around. Maybe that is what Kim Il Kretan is trying to instigate.

Some Americans seem to love war and violence as long as they feel safe personally. Trump is doing his best to get a war started; somebody should brief him on why it's a bad thing. I remember seeing Trump wave to South Korean ladies golfers at a recent pro event at his club and thinking I sure hope he's not responsible for a war in their country.

You are Canadian so we will put you down as being "okay" with North Korea nuking Japan, South Korea, Guam, or the United States as long as nothing hits Canada. Its your cloistered view of the world as always. Kim Il Wackjob doesnt exactly have a fine-tuning knob on those missiles. He may intend to hit San Francisco but end out hitting a fucking Caribou in Prince George, British Columbia. If I were you I would go to my safe space right now and stay there.

On the plus side, those caribou are good on the grill. You have to look at the positive side of things. Sarah Palin had a big rack too.

Assuming you are talking 10 million in USD, then I am pretty sure that the Clintons got a guy in Arkansas who would do it for half of that, and half for the clintons. Experienced too. Will travel.
