I don’t think the meeting with the generals at the WH was for show, or that Sarah Huckabee’s comment about the seriousness of the situation is bluster. The NK threat will only get worse and even more complicated with every passing day. The longer Trump waits, the worse his options become.
And don’t forget, our response is not just addressed at NK. Iran also needs to get the message that the days of appeasement are over. Trump has to do something decisive soon. The threats are proliferating fast.
Maybe so. I don’t think a NK missile launch into the ocean triggers a military response they way we traditionally think of it, e.g. all-out war.
What it could trigger (I hope) is that the US shoots down the next missile they launch and every missile afterwards. I have been saying that for a long time. Shooting down their missiles would effectively neutralize their threat.
