McMaster: US Prefers Action 'Short Of A Military Option' In North Korea Response

Source: Talking Points Memo




By ESME CRIBB Published APRIL 16, 2017, 10:25 AM EDT

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster on Sunday said that President Donald Trump's administration would prefer "to take action short of armed conflict" in response to North Korea's military actions.

McMaster said on ABC's "This Week" that the United States is considering "a range of options" but would prefer to "avoid the worst."

A North Korean missile exploded on Sunday during launch, according to U.S. and South Korean officials. Vice President Mike Pence described the failed launch as as a "provocation." McMaster said the launch "fits a pattern of provocative and destabilizing and threatening behavior" on North Korea's part.

He said that the U.S. is working to "undertake all actions we can, short of a military option, to try to resolve this peacefully."

and then in the acts of about justifying war we have a fucking war monger that was presented by the corporate media and being one of the sane "guys" and "gals" in this Treasonous organization going around and saying;

"This Week" that the United States is considering "a range of options" but would prefer to "avoid the worst."


So, McMaster, FU you and the horse you road in on, your flaming idiot boss sent a fucking carrier group along with the four or five attack submarines and at least two nuclear tip submarines into the region protecting the battle group, along with there escorts, and carrier air wing, when he was having fucking chocolate cake, that the media was talking about.

What in this psychopathic world being driven by (two) narcissistic psychopaths, who is going to blink first?
