WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House national security adviser H.R. McMaster said on Friday the United States was approaching the limit of what sanctions and diplomacy can accomplish in terms of reigning in North Korea's weapons program.

 

"For those ... who have been commenting on a lack of a military option, there is a military option," McMaster told reporters at the White House, adding that it would not be the Trump administration's preferred choice.

More hot air when they know they cannot do anything without starting a real shooting war.

The day US scraps their nukes then they can start complaining that others have them.
And this is escalating quickly as the 2 buffoons are triggering each other to go further and further... but hey, frankly this would not have been a problem today if US had either stayed away from Korea in the 1950's or fought until the war was won! The same problem we see with the Tailbans and ISIS... they are resonances of US previous involvement in other countries affairs.

China stepped in along with Russia to keep North Korea from being wiped out.  Perhaps blame them? LOL.  North Korea is now a resonance of China and Russia's involvement in other countries affairs.

That was a war?

I pity the parents of the kids who are going to be cannon fodder for that war.  The last Korean war is within my generational memory.  Best of luck.  Ya'll should really keep pushing for a diplomatic solution.
