Speaking through state-run North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun, Kim said he would make the US submit to his power if war were to break out.

The tubby tyrant said the war of words between himself and Trump would end in the final victory of North Korea.

The claims come as North Korea is believed to have a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the US mainland after its second successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Friday.

Let's advance forward more vigorously and quickly until the day when the US completely kneels down before us with a white flag raised, the article read.

This is an oath made by our army and people on the war victory day.

It is the fixed will of our Party to conclude the protracted anti-U.S. confrontation with the final victory of North Korea in our generation and accomplish the historic cause of national re-unification.

Los Angeles, Washington, New York and even London are now thought to be within range of the Kim's nukes after his latest test.

But Trump hit back, firing his own defensive missiles in a show of force to the rotund ruler last week.

Kim vows to make Donald Trump 'kneel down before him' as WW3 nears - Daily Star

The superpowers are taking part in the terrifying war games amid growing fears of an all-out global conflict.

Three Chinese and 10 Russian warships began practising live-fire combat against submarines and other warships yesterday.

China has sent one of its most modern warships the Type 052D destroyer Hefei to the Baltic Sea for the exercise.

The vessel, which entered service in 2015, carries cruise missiles, anti-aircraft missiles and torpedoes.

The drills are being led by a joint command in Baltiysk, Russia.

The two countries pledged to ramp up their military co-operation during President Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow earlier this month.

Russia's deputy Defence Minister Alexander Fomin said: "Russia and China have always acted together at times of trouble and harsh tests.

"These days, the first phase of a large-scale Russian-Chinese naval exercise is underway in the Baltic Sea.

"Our seamen are training together to rebuff threats on high seas.

"These maneuvers will continue in the water areas of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan in autumn."

Yu Manjiang, commander of the Chinese fleet, added: "The joint naval exercises between China and Russia have been regularly held since 2012.

"They enhance both navies' cooperation and mutual trust.

"China is a great power, and it's natural that every move will attract world attention. But there's no need to hide or avoid anything."

A NATO spokesman described the drills as "an example of China's growing military capabilities and its increasingly significant global role".

The joint United States European Command added: "We are closely tracking Russian exercises with other participants like China.

"While we support their rights to train in international commons, we expect all nations adhere to international norms and laws."

THE US and South Korea have fired missiles in response to an ICBM launch ordered by tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un.

The United States and South Korea conducted a live-fire exercise after North Korea launched an ICBM on Friday, the U.S. military said.

Both nations carried out the live-fire exercise after the Hermit Kingdom fired the deadly missile on Friday, the US military said.

It added the exercise used missiles that were launched into the territorial waters of South Korea, along the east coast.

President Donald Trump blasted Pyongyang for firing a second ICBM this month.

In a written statement he said: Threatening the world, these weapons and tests further isolate North Korea, weaken its economy, and deprive its people.

The United States will take all necessary steps to ensure the security of the American homeland and protect our allies in the region.

The missile is understood to have been in the air for 45 minutes before it fell into Japanese waters.

Pyongyangs latest launch comes one day after the communist nation marked the 64th anniversary of the armistice that effectively ended the 1950s Korean War.

THE United States Navy has opened fire on an Iranian ship in a move that could spark World War 3.

The Pentagon confirmed shots were fired in the Persian Gulf today after the Iranian craft came within 150ft of it.

US Defense officials said the Iranian boat is thought to have been operated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

They said that despite warnings including radio calls, firing flares, and five short whistle blasts the Iranian ship carried on sailing towards the Navy boat.

The armed boat from the Islamic Republic then ceased its "provocative" actions, but is said to have "lingered" in the area.

There were several US Navy ships in the immediate area at the time of the incident today, which were carrying out routine patrol operations in international waters, US officials added.

The latest incident will raise fears of a conflict between the two countries.

In June, the US military called the actions of an Iranian vessel "unsafe and unprofessional" after it aimed a laser at a US helicopter that was accompanying a formation of American ships in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

United States officials also previously accused anIranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ship of acting in an "unprofessional" and "provocative" manner when it approached an American destroyer, the USS Mahan, while it was sailing in the Persian Gulf in April.

A formidable Chinese flotilla has travelled 10,000 miles for the show of strength with its ally Russia.

Ten ships and the same number of aircraft descended on Europes border to take part in their provocative war games.

Among the arsenal is the Chinese Type 052D guided missile destroyer Hefei, one of the countrys most advanced warships.

And they have been joined by a Russian contingent featuring equally advanced hardware, including two Russian corvettes.

GETTY

The exercises have been met with caution by Nato members, with the Chinese ships being escorted at various points in their mammoth journey by British, Dutch and Danish crafts as it passed through the Channel and the North Sea.

Beijing made clear they were intent to impress by flaunting their military capabilities.

Naval expert Li Jie said: By sending its most advanced guided-missile destroyers, China is expressing its sincerity to Russia and also sends a strong signal to other countries who plan to provoke us.

The US and Britain are two Nato members closely monitoring the games, in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Kaliningrad, Russias heavily militarised enclave on the European mainline between Poland and Lithuania - both Nato members themselves.

The joint US European Command responded, saying: We are closely tracking Russian exercises with other participants like China.

While we support their rights to train in international commons, we expect all nations adhere to international norms and laws.

Recent actions by Moscow have inflamed tensions with the West and sparked fear among its neighbours who are wary of Russian aggression.

In particular the Baltic nations of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are worried about Russias looming shadow, which has intensified since they annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, leading to a bloody civil war.

Russias only territory within the EU, Kaliningrad has seen its weapons and defence system significantly upgraded.

Also the site where the Kremlin stations its Baltic Sea fleet, the 86 square mile post has recently seen two corvettes armed with Kalibr nuclear-capable missiles deployed there in October.

They were bolstered by the addition of the Iskander nuclear-capable missiles, which will be deployed there permanently alongside S-400 air defence systems.

And anti-ship missiles are stationed near the coast.

President Vladimir Putin and his counterpart Xi Jinxing cemented their firm friendship with a meeting in Moscow this month, both condemning the deployment of US missiles defence system THAAD in South Korea.

The pair met for the third time this year.

Yang Mian, from the Centre for International Relations at the Chinese Institute of Communications, said: The trend for the development of Chinese-Russian relations has been excellent in recent years, and favourable progress can be noted in military cooperation as well.

Earlier, the two countries conducted drills in various areas of the Pacific Ocean.

This time, the joint exercises in the Baltic Sea reflect the close cooperation between the two countries in the military sphere their mutual strategic support for one another.

In response to Russias growing military presence Nato members decided to deploy four multination battle-groups amounting to 4,500 boots on the ground.

They are primarily stationed in Poland, with Operation Summer Shield is designed as a show of strength against Russia and to dissuade it from any provocative actions.

A FORMER chief of the Australian Defence Force has claimed it is only a matter of time before Australia will be invaded, and we should be worried about rising tension in the Asia-Pacific region.

Admiral (ret.) Chris Barrie, was quoted in an analysis by the ABC, declaring Australia is plunging headlong into catastrophe and we are utterly unprepared ... The time-bomb is ticking and it will explode in our lifetimes.

He argued there are many trip-wires or points of tension in the region.

Chinas construction of artificial islands in the South China Sea is one of them, as is Americas unrelenting naval patrols leading China to officially protest a US defence bill on Monday, which could see American warships visiting Taiwan.

North Koreas missile program is another, with Japan calling on this United Nations this week to increase pressure on leader Kim Jong-un and grind testing to a halt.

The article described the region as a tinderbox, poised to descend into war.

A miscalculation or misunderstanding ... could tip us over the edge, countries would be backed into corners and we have no way right now of talking our way out.

Its a grim prospect, but Ashley Townshend a research fellow at the University of Sydneys United States Studies Centre told news.com.au there is another possibility.

It all depends on the fragile balance of power that maintains the regions stability.

He agreed with the Admirals comments that miscalculations and misunderstandings between the major powers could be disastrous, but noted significant steps have been taken in the past few years to manage some of the risks.

There is a clear and sustained strategic competition taking place between the US and China in our backyard. But it is not preordained how this rivalry will work itself out, he said.

The US and China in particular have agreed to a number of military-to-military confidence-building measures that are designed to reduce the risk of an accidental clash between fighter aircraft or warships in the open seas and open skies, he said.

An increasing number of close encounters have recently prompted the two countries to adopt a much more conservative approach to one another.

These near misses really brought home for Beijing the inherent risks of military recklessness by their seamen and pilots. The good news is a number of rules-based agreements are being followed, and at some level this reduces the risk of an accidental clash, he said.

Thats not to say there wont be a deliberate provocation or a deliberate outbreak of hostilities. The entrenched disagreements in the East and South China Seas, on the Korean Peninsula, and between the US and China more broadly will all continue to cause friction.

However, Chinese island-building and frequent US patrols are two other potential sources of conflict. Picture: Centre for Strategic and International Studies.Source:Supplied

While war is one possibility, he argued its also entirely plausible the balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region will shift peacefully over time.

Mr Townshend said if both countries continue to be risk averse, there could be a gradual decrease in American strategic influence and a relative increase in Chinese geopolitical weight.

However, that may not be whats best for Australia.

A US-China confrontation I agree would be devastating, and that is certainly a potential future scenario. But another, and possibly more likely scenario is one where there is a slow erosion of US strategic power a slow changing of the guard without major conflict.

Its obviously in Australias interests to see peace prevail in the Asia Pacific, but we also have clear interests in an open, democratic and liberal regional order, and its unclear at this point whether our current trajectory will allow this order to prevail.

A HUGE row is brewing that threatens to spark war after Russia insulted Donald Trump in a very sly way.

The two superpowers are currently clashing after the United States seized Russian diplomatic property in New York and Maryland.

Then-US President Barack Obama ordered the seizure of two Russian diplomatic compounds and kicked out 35 diplomats from the country in response to alleged Kremlin hacking of the US election in 2016.

But an argument has erupted between the two countries after American officials attempted to set conditions for them to return the compounds to Russian control.

Moscow has said any attempts by Washington to hold onto the property goes against international law and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it amounted to "daylight robbery".

We still hope that our American colleagues will demonstrate a certain political wisdom and political will

Mr Lavrov added that this disagreement and "anti-Russian" sentiment among Americans may mean the countries will not agree on key, global issues.

The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov, is due to meet US Undersecretary of State, Thomas Shannon, today to discuss the matter.

But in a move that will likely spark fury in Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued thinly-veiled insult at the President.

Apparently alluding to Trump, Mr Peskov said he hoped the US would be able to show some "political wisdom".

"We still hope that our American colleagues will demonstrate a certain political wisdom and political will," he remarked during a conference call.

We live in turbulent times. Trump has the keys to nuclear weapons, and could end work to prevent climate change. Putin is looming in the East, the far-right are on the rise in Europe and Kim Jong-un is developing nuclear weapons of his own. Is this the END of days?

Before his inauguration, Donald Trump asked a security expert three times during a briefing, why the US couldn't use nuclear weapons after he becomes president.

Trump's wisdom and intelligence have been frequently called into question by his critics after the President made a number of high-profile gaffes.

These have included referring to Mexican people as rapists and saying a US Senator John McCain is not a war hero because he was captured by the enemy and became a prisoner of war.

Mr Peskov refused to say what Russia will do if the US does return the seized property.
