because our government probably wouldn't have mentioned it.

No one talks about how many nuclear bombs has N. Korea manufactured since Trump became president? To the best of my knowledge N. Korea has maintained its enrichment program. I heard 2 maybe 3 bombs.

Trump's already made it clear to him he is ok with him making it more dangerous for allies and this country with his nuclear arsenal buildup and testing program, while trump continues to claim he's his friend. Kim now has capabilities to deliver nuclear weapons against America and many allies allowed by trump and putin. That should scare everyone from this murderer and ruthless dictator Kim, and all because of trump.
