Donald Trump warns North Korean leader Kim Jong Un: My button is much bigger than yours.
Donald Trump has warned Kim Jong Un that he has a nuclear button which is "much bigger" than that of the North Korean leader. In a tweet on Wednesday, the US President responded to a speech made by the North Korea leader in which he said "a nuclear button is always on my desk". It comes as a key communication line between North and South Korea is reopened. Mr Trump wrote: "North Korean leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the 'nuclear button is on his desk at all times' "Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!" The President's tweet - his 17th of the year - came after the US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, warned Pyongyang against staging any further missile tests. |

It's all a game of words and might be funny if the stakes weren't so high.

It's like a nightmare, really. Trump. In control. In possession of the nuclear codes for the biggest military power in the world. I don't know which is the most dangerous, Trump or that fat b*stard in North Korea.

BUT... In practice it's clearly Trump, because NK just isn't a realistic threat to most of the world, whereas the US could literally wipe out the planet with a few button-presses. Quite terrifying, really. That said - I don't personally buy the idea that the POTUS has full control of the US military and definitely not the nuclear button. They like to pretend that he could just go to his office and fire up some nuclear missiles. In truth, quite a few people would have to be in agreement for that to happen. |

From what I understand, it's all relatively "old" tech and when it comes right down to it, rank-and-file military technicians have to do the actual physical prepping and launching... and their orders would come down the military chain. And while I do think the bombs would start dropping if the other major players started firing, I would like to at least HOPE that those high-ranking people would simply say "OK lol that's enough now" if Trump decided to start launching nukes over one of his Twitter wars .

All his threats are as empty as Kim's really. I'd imagine Trump would catch a bullet or come down with a case of death by 'natural causes' if he ever got close to initiating actual nuclear war.
Luckily enough for him, I suppose, he'll leave the oval office in cuffs and not a box. |

The investigation could easily have been stalled for a few years but I reckon you've got enough people on both sides of the political fence with enough sway to speed it along that hate Trump. |

its not as silly a position as you might think. If NK actually fired a nuke in the direction of the USA or Japan, the chances of it actually getting to its destination are incredibly small. However, at that point the world is behind America in sorting the problem out. Propaganda war won.

The hope that they will actually put their hands up and say "Yup... our election process and the position of the most powerful leader of the world can be and has been influenced by outside forces" is unrealistic... and tbh not even desirable. The implications and the political instability it would cause would be catastrophic. |
