Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded.

Secretary of Defense Mattis: The American effort is diplomatically led. It has diplomatic traction.
It is gaining diplomatic results. The tragedy of war is well enough known. It doesn't need another characterization beyond the fact that it would be catastrophic.

Trump. There are no mixed messages from our administration.

You do realize each president from Clinton to Obama issues the same threat. Mighty silent about that.

Mattis as of Aug 8th:


"The DPRK must choose to stop isolating itself and stand down its pursuit of nuclear weapons," Mattis said in a statement. DPRK is short for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"The DPRK should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people," Mattis said.
"The DPRK regime's actions will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict it initiates," he added.
