It has nothing to do with the Donald's "unpredictability".

Hang on, Trump called out Kim on twitter, so Kim tested a 100ktn bomb, then Trump called him out again, So Kim lobbed a missile over Japan. America would of had nfi where that was going to land or what it contained until it was too late to do anything... and did fucking zip.
USA can't do fuck all with NK as there's very little "known" targets, and its a country surrounded by other countries namely China and Russia and NO way either would sit back and allow an annihilation type bombing scenario.. which limits the USA to conventional weapons. If America took that action NK would certainly respond, Biological, Chemical or Nuclear.. take your pick, they have many options and all could kill millions. If USA tried to retaliate Russia and China would be there to say.. no.
So USA did the only thing it could.. send Trump on a Twitter storm, where he basically relied on Kim's good judgement not to launch an attack at the USA or partnered countries.

NK has shown more aggression and increased its capabilities tenfold under.. TRUMP

So the whole military thing is a con, by Don the con. Sanctions are what's biting but even then as we know from Russia, they can be worked around. Kim needs some sanctions pulled back, but he's not going to denuclearize to do that, sign a peace treaty, agree not to do more tests of what's tested, and shut down a test facility, that the USA reported was collapsing anyways.
That's what's on the table
