North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un warned in his New Year's Day address that the rogue nation's nuclear capabilities are "reality," not mere threats -- and he said he even had a nuclear button on his desk to prove it. "The U.S. should know that the button for nuclear weapons is on my table," he said during the speech, according to an Associated Press translation. Kim spoke in front of several microphones -- although there was no "nuclear button" in sight. Pyongyang's frequent missile launches in 2017, along with its sixth nuclear test, have ratcheted up tensions with the United States. As Bloomberg pointed out, South Korean TV stations stopped broadcasting the speech before Kim was finished.
