Mattis warns North Korea of 'overwhelming' response to nuclear use
After decades of appeasing N.K. while N.K. resolutely improved its military capabilities. The US is drawing a line.
Doing nothing hasn't made the world safer, it's made it more dangerous. China is now a serious military threat and backs N.K. who have built more and better arms.
If war is coming, better to be a trade war or a war against an inferior opponent. Sitting back and wishing it all stays good. Didn't work before and won't work now.
