Haley messed up, big time. Her phrasing of the conditions under which the U.S. would attack NK left a lot of room for interpretation on the part of NK leadership. Some of you will remember that that is exactly why the FIRST Korean War started, and probably contributed to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. For example, why would she specify a NK attack on a military base as opposed to an attack on a Republic of Korea or Japanese city? Words have meaning.

It might be that the US wants to attack.

The US also warned Crazy Kim's trigger-happy regime against testing any other missiles, any nuclear weapons - or taking any other provocative action.

I think that would be covered under 'any other provocative action.'

That is already covered under treaty obligations and North Korea is fully aware of this. The five conditions are simply additional red lines and not the only red lines.
