NK doesn't fear Trump

[A Theist]

North Korean military official provides chilling answer why his country doesn’t fear Trump

In a report on the rising tensions between the United States and North Korea, an officer in the Korean People’s Army expressed confidence that his side would prevail in a possible thermonuclear war because President Donald Trump is “mentally ill.”

“What do you think of President Trump?,” the military officer was asked.

“Trump is mentally ill,” the young officer calmly explained, before adding, “If there is a war with America, we will win.”

If NORKO is saying that they don't fear the United States or President Trump it's because they're stupid enough to believe their own flawed and misinformed propaganda. But I believe the North Korean politburo know better.  A thermonuclear war with the United States would be the total annihilation of North Korea. It would no longer exist on the map.

:

• September 2017 New START declaration: 1,393 strategic nuclear warheads deployed on 660 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers.
  
• FAS estimates approximately 2,300 non-deployed strategic warheads and roughly 500 deployed and non-deployed tactical warheads.
  
• In a January 2017 speech, Vice President Joe Biden announced that as of September 30, 2016, the United States possessed 4,018 active and inactive nuclear warheads. (Note: This number does not include warheads awaiting dismantlement.)
  
• Biden also announced in January 2017 that approximately 2,800 warheads are retired and await dismantlement.
  

:

• Estimated to have enough plutonium for approximately 10 plutonium based warheads as of late 2016.
  
• North Korea operates its 5-megawatt heavy-water graphite-moderated reactor used to extract plutonium in the past for nuclear warheads on an intermittent basis since August 2013. There has also been activity at North Korea's reprocessing facililty in 2016, indicating that Pyongyang has likely separated plutonium from the reactor's spent fuel. 
  
• Unveiled a centrifuge facility in 2010, but unclear if Pyongyang is using the facility to produce highly-enriched uranium for weapons.
  
• Experts estimate that if North Korea is producing highly-enriched uranium, it could have the material for an additional 4-8 uranium based warheads as of 2015, bringing the total to 14-18 warheads. By 2020, experts estimate that North Korea could have anywhere between 20-100 nuclear warheads based on the rate of its stockpile growth and technological improvements.
