The USA is attempting to determine what to do related to North Korea and its nuclear capabilities:

November 5, 2017

WASHINGTON (AP) — The only way to locate and destroy with complete certainty all components of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program is through a ground invasion. That blunt assessment from the Pentagon is in response to a letter from two Democratic congressmen asking about casualty assessments in a conflict with North Korea.

Rear Adm. Michael J. Dumont of the Joint Staff offered the assessment in response to a letter from Reps. Ted Lieu of California and Ruben Gallego of Arizona.

Dumont noted that the U.S. is evaluating North Korea’s ability to target heavily populated areas of South Korea with long-range artillery, rockets and ballistic missiles. He also pointed out that Seoul, the South’s capital with a population of 25 million, is just 35 miles from the demilitarized zone. The amount of casualties would differ depending on the advance warning and the ability of U.S. and South Korea forces to counter these attacks, he said.

“A classified briefing would be the best place to discuss in detail the capability of the U.S. and its allies to discuss capabilities to counter North Korea’s ability to respond with a nuclear weapon and eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons located in deeply buried, underground facilities,” he said. He also mentioned the possibility that chemical and biological weapons might be used by the North in case of a conflict.

Military officials would be happy to join “the intelligence community to address these issues in a classified briefing,” he said.

In a joint statement issued Saturday, 15 Democratic lawmakers and one Republican— all military veterans — called the assessment that a ground invasion would be required to destroy the North’s nuclear arsenal “deeply disturbing” and that such an action “could result in hundreds of thousands, or even millions of deaths in just the first few days of fighting.” https://www.apnews.com/fa5db4093bb145caa8ff4b4401d4d8c2/Grim-cost-predicted-in-effort-to-destroy-North-Korea’s-nukes

Notice another concern:

EMP Bias Puts US at Risk as North Korea Threat Grows

“That’s why he cannot have a … nuclear device deliverable to the homeland,” stated General John Kelly, White House Chief of Staff, on October 30, responding to Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s query about a North Korean electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack killing 90 percent of Americans. …

At an October 12 congressional hearing on the threat from North Korea, Dr. William Graham, Chairman of the Congressional EMP Commission, and I warned in our joint statement about widespread media disinformation on the EMP threat: “Misinformation about EMP abounds in the media, and even in many allegedly serious studies, from uninformed persons posturing as experts, who have no competency in EMP. False claims are often made that the EMP threat is ‘not real’ but merely theoretical and greatly overblown.”

Some journalists fear EMP justifies modernizing U.S. nuclear weapons and deploying space-based missile defenses — both anathema to the Left. Others fear acknowledging the EMP threat would undermine former President Obama’s “world without nuclear weapons” and the Iran nuclear deal — because EMP attack makes even a single nuclear weapon a formidable deterrent and potential war-winner.

Others are just too stupid and too arrogant to educate themselves about the reality of the EMP threat. http://www.newsmax.com/PeterPry/emp-commission-north-korea/2017/11/02/id/823786/

Regular readers of this Church of God News page realize that I have warned about the EMP threat for many years. It is real and it could terribly weaken the USA (watch also Electrical End of the USA?).

US President Donald Trump made some comments:

November 5, 2017

President Trump kicked off his Asia tour Sunday with a warning that the U.S. will use its military might, if necessary, to fend off hostile threats.

“No one — no dictator, no regime and no nation — should underestimate, ever, American resolve,” Trump told U.S. and Japanese troops, assembled inside a flag-draped aircraft hangar at the Yokota Air Base in Tokyo. “We will never yield, never waver and never falter in defense of our people, our freedom and our great American flag.”

It was a message aimed, at least in part, at North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whose aggressive nuclear and missile tests are expected to be a major focus of the president’s trip. http://www.npr.org/2017/11/05/562167750/trump-launches-asia-trip-with-a-warning-to-north-korea

While the USA could obliterate North Korea, it is at risk of severe damage from North Korea. Many in South Korea could be killed. Japan, Guam, and possibly Hawaii are also at risk of damage.

The dilemma that the world’s politicians face is that if they act against North Korea, perhaps thousands or even millions could die, yet if they do not act, North Korea intends to increase its nuclear weaponry and may use it anyway–and that use could cause even more thousands or millions to die.

In the event of an attack against it, North Korea is expected to try to destroy Seoul, South Korea and other areas. Furthermore, North Korea may have operatives try to detonate nuclear bombs and/or dirty bombs in the USA. North Korea may attempt to unleash chemical and/or biological weapons against the USA, South Korea, Japan, and/or Guam. Steps to prepare for some or all of this seems to have begun by the North Koreans. North Korea’s leaders have indicated that if they are attacked they will attempt to cause the most damage possible. An EMP weapon attack may well be involved.

Jesus spoke of a time of wars, rumors of war, and troubles prior to the Great Tribulation (Mark 13:8). North Korea already is causing troubles and rumors of war.

For at least three years, my article, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, contained the following:

There may also be wars in parts of the world that have rarely had them (perhaps, for example, even between some South American nations), as well as wars in areas that have long been especially tense (like Korea, possibly involving other Asian nations). Damascus ultimately will be destroyed and could be a signal for destruction to come for Jacob (Isaiah 17:1-4). There will likely be civil unrest and perhaps rioting in scales not seen before, including within some Western nations (such as in Europe and North America). This will lead to military leaders rising up in various parts of the world. And one European (the final King of the North) will, after making one or more false peace deals/pronouncements (e.g. Daniel 9:26-27; 11:27; 1 Thessalonians 5:3), become the final Beast leader (Revelation 13:4) and he will take over many nations (Daniel 11:39-43).

North Korea, and US President Trump’s reactions to it, are a threat to peace and seem to be related to the ride of the red horseman of war (Revelation 6:3-4).

As far as war goes, here is information on our latest BibleNewsProphecy video:

22:06

Donald Trump, Warmongering, and the Red Horse of War

Various Europeans believe that Donald Trump has been ‘warmongering’ related to North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. They believe that Europe must lead and that the US President must learn from Europe. Jesus spoke of a time called the “beginning of sorrows” that included wars and rumors of war, are we in the time of sorrows now? Could the red horse of the apocalypse be about to ride? Did the old WCG teach this was a future event in 1985? Does this ride start before or after the start of the “great tribulation”? What does the Bible show? Is Satan involved in this? What about Armageddon? How will all of this end? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

North Korea poses a variety of threats to the USA and other lands.
