Defense secretary James Mattis has spoken outside the White House. “We are not looking for the annihilation of North Korea, we have many options,” he says.
He also said that “any threat to the United States or its territories including Guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response.”

It is a step back from previous rhetoric.

I agree. Kim isn’t afraid of the US. Threats of retaliation are worthless.

Trump must issue a statement comdemining the Uniparty cartel of Obama, Bush and Clinton. The weak and incompetent polices of each of these three cowards have brought this nation to the brink of nuclear war.

Is this "new" or a step back? Seems like we've heard all this before. I think that this was short, direct has ominous meaning. It is restating a red line. Now, will US ignore, redefine, or act when it is crossed?
Maybe the economic route of cutting off business with anyone, including China and India, that do business with North Korea will help? Definitely cheaper in lives risked.
What do you think?

Mattis just told Kim that we won’t do anything until he does something.. Should we go ahead and invade them now?
To: Reno89519
The NorKs are, and will be, a nuclear player from now on. Clinton, Bush 43 and Obama assured it...Clinton especially....Obama sealed the deal.
Then in the next 2-4 years Iran will be. Obama assured that.

Weak??
When the term “annihilation of North Korea” is thrown out there; you think that’s weak?
