It wasn't until 2014 that he hinted at military force as a consequence for their continued development of nuclear weapons. Kim Jung Un went from 6 missile tests in 2013 to 19 in 2014. Do you believe Obama is to blame?

Trump had nothing to do with it. They have been threatening the US with nuclear destruction long before Trump was President. Trump just isn't the pushover that Obama was with them.

You're not understanding what i'm saying. I knew North Korea has been amping up their nuclear weapons testing for a long time, but until Trump's tweets, they've shot them into the ocean or underground. It was only after Trump decided to poke the bear, that they started blasting missles directly over our allies. Again, I doubt he has the fire power to reach the U.S. and if he does, he's not gonna use it unless we strike first. He has too much to lose. He's just flapping his gums like one of those yap yap dogs, who believe they're bigger than what they are. Threats are nothing. It's just a peeing contest. How long has Iran been threatening to blow Israel off the face of the Earth? They probably have a much more sophisticated nuclear program than North Korea and nobody takes their threats seriously.

Where Nk tests and shoots their missiles are part of the natural weapons progression and has nothing to do with Trump. Come on. This is why you now hear about shooting a live one into the Pacific. That is the last piece needed to know they have a viable capability. Distance, accuracy, warhead reentry, detonation.

As far as Iran goes...they go as Nk goes. The two programs are like Siamese twins as they share technology and parts. Notice how both programs ramped up after Iran deal? Not a coincidence.
