Trump was left with a festering mess by his predecessors

Obama, who else was the worst, but G. W. Bush softened and Clinton enabled North Korea. Kim Jong-Un is a psycho, he makes MacArther seem terribly prescient during the Korean War (that officially is still going on). 
Now, the choices are even more terrible, and as with radical Islam, Kim Jong-Un doesn't seem to care who dies. m/r

Kim Jong Un's Thermonuclear Joyride

By Claudia Rosett September 3, 2017


Following North Korea's sixth nuclear test, advertised by Pyongyang as an ICBM-ready hydrogen bomb, it was good to hear Defense Secretary James Mattis talking tough. But that won't stop North Korea from building nuclear missiles. It won't stop North Korea's threats against the U.S. and our allies. I'd wager it won't even interfere with Kim Jong Un's enjoyment of his apparently ample meals.
Mattis stressed Kim's peril in his remarks on Sunday, when he said: "Any threat to the United States or its territories, including Guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response." Mattis added the backhanded threat that "we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely, North Korea, but as I said, we have many options to do so."
But does Kim have any reason to think the U.S. would exercise those options?
North Korea has long been a geyser of threats, including its threat last month to use the U.S. territory of Guam for missile practice, its launch last month of a ballistic missile over Japan, and its threat accompanying Sunday's nuclear test that it could use thermonuclear weapons for a "super-powerful EMP attack."
