President Donald Trump has warned North Korea it should be "very, very >nervous" if it does anything to the US.
He said the regime would be in trouble "like few nations have ever been"
if they do not "get their act together".
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40894529
His comments came after Pyongyang announced it had a plan to fire four >missiles near the US territory of Guam.
Tensions between the two countries have escalated in recent weeks after
North Korea tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in July.
The UN recently approved further economic sanctions against Pyongyang as a >result of its nuclear weapons programme.
Speaking on Thursday at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Mr Trump >also offered an olive branch, saying the US would always consider >negotiations.
The Republican president said his own statements had not been tough enough
on Pyongyang, despite his threat this week to rain "fire and fury" upon
the regime.
Pyongyang earlier dismissed the US president's dire warnings as "nonsense".
But Mr Trump doubled down on Thursday, saying: "It's about time someone
stood up for the people of our country."
Mr Trump railed against previous US administrations for being too weak on >North Korea, adding that the tiny dictatorship's pursuit of nuclear
weapons was a "tragedy".
He also chided China, saying they could do "a lot more" to intervene on
the Korean peninsula.
When asked if there was a possibility of a pre-emptive strike against >Pyongyang, Mr Trump said: "We don't talk about that. We never do."
But he said: "I will tell you this, if North Korea does anything in terms
of even thinking about attack of anybody that we love or we represent or
our allies or us they can be very, very nervous.
"I'll tell you why… because things will happen to them like they never >thought possible."
He added: "I will tell you this, North Korea better get their act together
or they're gonna be in trouble like few nations have ever been in trouble
in this world."
North Korea said on Wednesday it planned to fire medium-to-long-range
rockets towards Guam, where US strategic bombers are based.
However, there has been no indication that any attack on Guam by North
Korea is imminent.

And the fucking problem is we have the ANZUS pact which means if NK
attacks Guam, that's an attack on the US and Australia and NZ have to
join the US in fighting NK. That will mean, in my estimation, we will
all three, and Japan, end up fighting China.
That may then lead to markers being called in by Beijing on Moscow and
some sort of intervention by Russia on the border with NK. Or a decoy
in the Middle East.
In any of these scenarios, we are as involved as the US. I don't know
about the UK - I guess subs and attack planes might be sent from the
UK to NK.
There's a lot of ocean between us and NK and China but it's still in
our neighorhood. A worry. Time to stock the larder. The
"sacrificial pawns" might be us.
