New Strategy?
An US official said the President is letting North Korea know change has to come. He said “Trump is making it very clear: North Korea needs to choose a new path.”
The official promised that “we will continue to increase the weight of our peaceful pressure campaign.”
Many believe that what Trump is doing has a purpose. They don’t think it is aimless talk from the Commander in Chief.
Rex Tillerson said “the more we bide our time, the sooner we will run out of it.” He too believes that options are running out.
Anthony Ruggiero also sees the need for some other type of strategy. He said “the exchange of words between North Korea and the US would not prevent Pyongyang from continuing its missile tests.”
Ruggiero made the point of protecting Guam and South Korea from an attack. He said up to this time nothing like that has happened.
The main issue is what can be done differently to bring about results. The US has been trying for 25 years to bring about change. Many Diplomats have tried and all have been unsuccessful.
“The world has received North Korea’s latest message loud and clear. This regime has signaled its contempt for its neighbors” Trump said.
The President said recently all options are on the table. He said “threatening and destabilizing actions only increase the North Korean regime’s isolation in the region and among all nations of the world.
