North Korea sparked fears of World War 3 when the rogue nation hurled an onslaught of threats at United States President Donald Trump, insisting they were ready to attack a US air base in Guam.

The US has been keen to demonstrate to North Korea it would be foolish even to attempt an attack by making public the details of several impressive military tests and exercises.
Having already carried out a test on the “most dangerous nuclear weapon ever produced”, the US authorities have turned their focus on potential ground conflict.
