If Tillerson's interests are served by stroking a "war", he wants "war".

We have lost the moral high ground with this current cast of characters. Tillerson is well known in the international business community, admired by despots and oligarchs.

Kim Jong-un will not disarm, he will not negotiate, he will not meet with anyone...

The guy is more unstable than Trump, threatening him will only cause him to accelerate his efforts to become a well armed nuclear power, with missiles that can reach the mainland USA.

Clinton, Bush and Obama all tried and N.Korea broke every promise. So what is this "intelligent, thought out strategy"?

for the first of the many "wars" trump will wage, how else can we "get sick of winning all the time"?

Korea is the perfect spot, the only deaths will be several million Koreans and Japanese, plus the several thousand Latinos in the US Army they send there to writhe in grotesque nuclear deaths, with the promise of citizenship afterwards, so who really gives a fuck?

Making America Great Again requires us to look back at past TOWERING HEROES like General William Westmoreland, who gave us everlasting truth about knocking off all the Asians we want:

“The Oriental doesn’t put the same high price on life as does the Westerner,” Westmoreland famously said. “Life is plentiful, life is cheap in the Orient.”
