But what would happen if Donald Trump dropped the mother of all nuclear bomb on Kim Jong-un’s hermit nation?
America’s largest tested nuclear weapon, Castle Bravo, equates to 15 megatons of radioactive mayhem.
If Kim Jong-un’s posturing backfires and president Trump launches the warhead at Pyongyang, it is estimated that a staggering 2,354,690 people would perish.
A further 616,070 would be injured and almost four million others would be affected by radiation poisoning.
Such global landmarks as the Kim Il-sung Stadium of Ideals and the imposing Arch of Triumph would crumble.
The fireball of the initial blast would have a radius of 43.2km and thermal radiation would spread for 293km downwind.
This would either cover all of South Korea, the width of Japan and potentially down to Shanghai in China.
