I know what you’re thinking…I’ve heard this rhetoric before, and normally I would agree with you. However, the past 8 years of the previous Presidential administration has emboldened the dictatorial leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, to develop a nuclear program as well as an arsenal of weapons. In years past, the nuclear threats issued by Kim Jong Un were considered nothing more than the nonsensical ramblings on a fear mongering madman.
Each and every year the United States simulates exercises on the Korean peninsula with their joint military partners in the Asian theater, primarily South Korea and Japan. Every time these exercises kick off, Kim Jong Un issues more threats of destroying the capitalist west with nuclear weapons. The problem is that North Korea was afforded 8 years under Obama to fine tune their nuclear arsenal and improve it.
Today, North Korea boasts the capability of launching nuclear weapons that are able to strike anywhere in the United States. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen, but it would be wise for us to take these threats a bit more seriously than we once did. We can no longer take the ramblings of Kim Jong Un with a grain of salt. We must now consider his threats to be viable and completely possible.

How connected is it? I do not know, but there was such an incident .. I wanted to talk about;
It's called North Korea hydrogen bomb, 6.3 earthquake!
US leader Trump described North Korea as a rogue state in a Twitter message he wrote for a minute, and stressed that Kim Jong-un understood one thing. Trump's stylish, of course, military intervention.
