Mattis warns of 'massive military response,' but is vague on when it would happen

And I'm glad he's keeping it vague. Why the Hell would you tell your target when you plan on striking?!?

Vague? I fucking HOPE so! We just had 8 years of the moron in the White House telegraphing every move! Keep the bastards guessing...

At least NK won't be able to say they weren't warned enough. The hard part is acting on these warnings, but I have a feeling that unless they clean their act up they may regret it this time. Warnings, admonitions and sanctions haven't worked in the past, so by leaving us no other options they are forcing this on themselves. It seems that they want admission into the nuclear club and to be treated as a major power. I'm not sure it's going to work out as they hope. The reckless manner they are going about it is enough to make the rest of the World wonder how responsible they would be with nuclear capabilities. Maybe there has been some handshake between them and China and/or Russia that we are not aware of and we are walking into a nuclear minefield. No easy fix here, but eventually something will have to be done. Start by shooting down their next missile. Their words and deeds are provocation enough to do this. If offense is chosen, focus on taking him out and then see how the rest act afterwards. Last resort should be full attack, but if we're forced into it we have the weaponry to prosecute aggressively. There's no way to avoid high casualties, so the choice should be between casualties there or on US soil.
