Let Kim do whatever he damn well pleases. He's only trying to put his country in a position to where they wont be messed with by the Western powers.
We don't need to take any action unless we have 100% certainty that they are going to act on their threats.
That's the way I feel too. From the restraint we've shown, I believe that President Trump and his generals feel the same way.
I wish Trump's language and rhetoric matched those feelings.
Then, Trump would be more like Obama. Hillary lost because she was too much like Obama. Trump is matching Kim Jong in the War of Words. That's his style. Not being a push-over is one reason why he was elected.
It's not a war of words Trump is fighting.
It's a game of who can thump their chest the loudest.
Trump should be adult enough not to play the game and be baited.
Obama was not baited. Hillary would not have been baited.
But Trump can't control himself from indulging in the playground antics.
I understand that this is the 21st Century and we're all supposed to sit back and turn the other cheek, but in reality if you're being threatened with total destruction by a person or country with the poser to completely destroy you, the time for turning the other cheek is over. Thumping your chest harder and showing them who the boss is, is absolutely necessary in times like this.

Seriously though I do not understand why the US can not strike first; these are special circumstances. Any country that is preparing to start a nuclear war should be met with 'fire and fury'.

China's not going to let that little window-licker, Kimmy, do a damn thing!
A nuclear war on China's doorstep would decimate their economy and destroy 10 centuries of progress in the world for them. There is absolutely NO WAY China will allow Kimmy-boy to mash the button. They've already told him this, in no uncertain terms...rest assured!
He can play with his toy matches all he wants, but the minute he lights something on fire, he will be EXTERMINATED and his entire country will be reduced to twisted smoldering wreckage. Period.
ETA...The US needs to take the "do nothing" approach. Trust me...he's on notice already!

Same with Iran.
Having a nuclear weapon changes the game. One could argue it's a deterrent against aggression.
That said, NK talks a lot of #, and they well know they would be toast if they did anything. Unless they have a truly crazy leader who doesn't care. Or unless we do.
Ahh WOW ... Only Kim Jong UN His Family His Generals would Know they would be Toast!
The Rest are so #ing brainwashed for the last 60ish years ,
Believing that The Kim Dynasty are LIVING GODS!
and Would Jump a Bridge , or Sacrifice themselves for their Leader
THE Great LEADER is like JIM JONES / and Korth Korea is Like Johnstown! in a Huge Scale !
The Country is a Orwellian Nightmare
The Citizens of North Korea are Taught to Hate the USA
Since childhood from the 1950s to present day
they are taught in Schools , that the USA is a Imperialist Country .
and the KIM Dynasty Prevented the US controlling the Country
and North Korea had WON the WAR!
which in Reality , the War Never Ended just had been on Pause!
No Treaty was ever Signed , Nor a Truce , just the Cease Fire..
personally i think its time too UN-Pause the button and let it play
and record for the History Books !
Just Who Would be on Our side.. from this Threat From North Korea
The Chicken Hawk Country needs too be put Down ,
