Could this be World War III? - USA vs North Korea

After the US President vowed to "totally destroy" North Korea if it poses a threat to the US or its allies, the North Korean leader branded Trump "mentally deranged" while his foreign minister remarked that Pyongyang could consider a hydrogen bomb test of an unprecedented scale on the Pacific Ocean.

North Korean UN envoy said they will not bow down to international pressure or give up its nuclear weapons program. Donald Trump's united state envoy Nikki Haley said the time for talks is over despite China, Russia, and other members of the US administration claiming dialogue remains the main aim. 

The United State military are in the area close to North Korea especially in Japan and close allies to South Korea. 

There are almost 40,000 US troops serving in Japan, more than in any other country, and earlier this year the US Air Force lined up a huge array of helicopters, tactical fighter jets and surveillance aircraft in a show of force aimed to intimidate Kim Jong-un.

The flagship carrier is the USS Ronald Reagan, a nuclear-powered aircraft super-carrier that forms part of “the most effective and agile fighting force in the world”.
