"UNITED STATES SHOULD STUDY PLACING MISSILE DEFENSE CAPABILITIES IN HAWAII TO DEFEND AGAINST NORTH KOREA" - U.S. ADMIRAL SAYS: RTRS
U.S. ADMIRAL TELLS LAWMAKER: "I DON'T SHARE YOUR CONFIDENCE NORTH KOREA WON'T TRY TO ATTACK THE UNITED STATES, ONCE CAPABLE": RTRS
WHEN ASKED IF A PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE WOULD BE TOO DANGEROUS CONSIDERING SOUTH KOREAN CASUALTIES
“I would say what we’re faced with is that on one hand and a lot more Koreans and Japanese and Americans dying
if North Korea achieves its nuclear aims and does what [Kim Jong-un] has said it’s going to do,” Harris said.

I Expect nothing less than
continued 'mixed messages' coming from WH/Congress/MSM...
sample:
►Tillerson, Mattis, Coats Call North Korea "Urgent National Security Threat", Prepared To Act
►Tillerson/Mattis/Coats joint statement on North Korea briefing - focus is on diplomacy + sanctions, not military action
TIME:
Trump Administration: Military Preparations 'Underway' for North Korea
WH 'Briefing'... (Trump attended for 15 min. lol)
►GOP senator
on N. Korea briefing: "Briefing lacked "even straight answers on what the policy is regarding N. Korea and its testing of ICBMs"
►Another senator leaves
N. Korea briefing confused: "I’m still unclear what kind of briefing this was" -- whether it was classified or not.
"There was very little, if anything new,"
"I remain mystified about why the entire Senate had to be taken over to the White House rather than conducting it here."
“It’s not like we learned some earth-shaking thing that’s going to happen tomorrow,"
"I’m still unclear what kind of briefing this was" -- whether it was classified or not.
"learned nothing new”
