The White House said North Korea has not technically threatened to use nuclear weapons because the reclusive nation has yet to obtain them.
“There’s no evidence that North Korea has that capability at this time,” press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday.
When pressed further, Spicer doubled down on the U.S. government’s assertion North Korea, under the direction of leader Kim Jong un, does not yet have a working nuclear weapon.
“Threatening something that you don’t have the capability of isn’t really a threat,” Spicer said.
Tensions between the U.S. and North Korea have increased in recent days. President Donald Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping last weekend, and Tuesday he mentioned China on Twitter while saying North Korea needs to be properly dealt with.
North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A.

The U.S. has sent an aircraft carrier strike group toward North Korea in a show of force against North Korea’s recent missile tests. Officials believe North Korea will conduct another missile test April 15 or sooner.

“North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A.”
Ignore them.
Problem solved.
NO ONE has nukes!! they do not exist. use common sense, watch a couple youtubes and you’ll see quite clearly. I’m not being silly. i am 100% serious and 100% convinced of it. ok ok, I’ll explain my ‘evidence’.. no nation has EVER used one, since we SAID we did 70yrs ago. no rogue element has ever stolen one. no nation has ever had one fall off a train, crack open and contaminate an area for trillions of years, so, in a nutshell, not only does the US have a perfect safety record.. EVERY OTHER country does too!! wow.. believe that??
