President Donald Trump, in a combative debut speech to the U.N. General Assembly, threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea if the nation's "Rocket man" leader does not abandon his drive toward nuclear weapons.

Trump, who has ramped up his rhetoric throughout the escalating crisis with North Korea, told the murmuring crowd of world leaders on Tuesday that "it is far past time for the nations of the world to confront" Kim Jong Un and said that Kim's "reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons" poses a threat to "the entire world with an unthinkable loss of human life."

"Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime," said Trump, using a belittling nickname for the North Korean leader. He said of the U.S.: "If it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."

Trump won't accept that because he puts America first and won't accept deals under these circumstances

Lots of people seem to be ignoring that last bit, yeah. I don't like Trump at all, but there's nothing really wrong with what he said. Maybe destroyed was a bit harsh though.

There is an issue of what would be consider an attack though.

What Trump actually said was "If [the United States] is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."

Invade them. Bomb military targets. Regular war and not nuclear wasteland.

So did Trump say he was going to nuke them or are we just assuming here? Because "destroy" does not necessarily = "nuke". For all we know, invading and precision strikes are exactly what he meant.

Do you honestly think China is going to tolerate the US using nuclear weapons in it's own back yard? I'm pretty sure the US knows about MAD.

I would certainly hope so, but it isn't the first time he alludes to nuking countries. He is a politician making a speech on the world's stage. This is NOT the place to play "but what he really means is..." Lots of people didn't think he was serious about many things during the elections.

So you're just assuming, I'm glad we cleared that up. Using a nuke is overkill, there's a reason they aren't used after all. Just drawing that conclusion though is ultimately unfair tbh. Look, I don't care for the guy either but I'm not just gonna assume anything. He spoke harshly, BIG FUCKING SHOCKER there. That however doesn't equate to "IM GONNA NUKE THE SHIT OUTTA THEM!!!

I'm going with what the guy himself is saying.

"They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen"
"If forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea"

You don't want to take it seriously? Fine.The only other leader I see threatening nukes is Kim Jong Un and when he does so, Americans take it very seriously.

It's very likely a pissing contest between 2 men used to acting tough and getting what they want. I don't think either one wants to press that button first. But, with such devastating consequences, "very likely" still are not comforting odds.
