Trump did not openly threaten them in the last few days. His letter is very, very good in my opinion.
He is respectful to them and at the same time puts in a reminder of our incredible military power.

That is what the Asian culture understands: Strength.

Hell, most cultures understand that. From the Middle East to the Far East.

The decades of our leaders acting like pussy's in their tone has led us to wars all over the globe, terrorists attacks, etc.

Nobody has to go to war, but acting too "sensitive" all the time when dealing with others makes you look weak. And when we are perceived to be weak...we get hit.

That is Trump's strategy. He wants to deal with the world from a position of strength.

We have already tried (for decades) to send in our diplomats with their limp-wristed subtlety and delicate wording. And what did that get us?

Think about that for a second.

Look at what President Obama's policy was towards North Korea for instance: "Strategic Patience" is what he called it.
I call that "kicking the can down the road" and doing nothing.

As President Trump said: This should have been taken care of a long time ago.

I do believe that Trump will resolve North Korea. Either with diplomacy or war.
And that's not Trump's "fault". That's the way it was going to go eventually no matter what.

I'm thinking that Trump may be the ONLY President we have had in modern times who can get this done diplomatically.
He will speak the language that they can understand...and not the expert diplomatic pussy gibberish that has failed our country for so long.
I disagree with how North Korea has been handled by the US government for decades. It's been kick the can sitch for a long while now.

But there's a lot of space between kick the can and threatening nuclear war. It should be completely unacceptable for the POTUS to verbally and childishly threaten nuclear war as a negotiating tactic.
