North Korea: Experts Warn Only Way Forward May Be Diplomacy

Source: NBC News

For all the talk of naval strike groups and pre-emptive military action, Donald Trump's only option to solve the North Korean crisis could be compromise.

His presidency has seen tensions ratcheting up over the Korean peninsula, with dictator Kim Jong Un's missile testing met with a swift rebuke from Washington.

That uncompromising approach was underscored Wednesday when Vice President Mike Pence told 2,500 sailors aboard the USS Ronald Reagan that any use of conventional or nuclear weapons would be met with an "overwhelming and effective American response."

In return, North Korea has accused the U.S. of creating "a situation where nuclear war could break out an any time."

telling naval personnel get ready for a nuclear war!!!! Yeaaaaaaaa. I'm sure that was exactly what they wanted to here.

Rather than we will do everything we can to keep the tensions down and a productive end can be resolved, he ratcheted up the bullshit.

Ya think the experts (of the region, no less) should get involved rather than all the white boys trying to show how big the green bean size dicks are.
