Washington (CNN)US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said
President Donald Trump's "fire and fury" comment last month about North
Korea's nuclear program was not an empty threat.

In an interview that aired Sunday with CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the
Union," Haley emphasized that Defense Secretary James Mattis has an array
of options to destroy the nation of some 25 million people.
If the US exhausts diplomatic options on North Korea, the US military
would "take care of it," Haley said,
"We wanted to be responsible and go through all diplomatic means to get
their attention first," Haley said. "If that doesn't work, General Mattis
will take care of it."
Haley warned a war would mean the destruction of North Korea.
"If North Korea keeps on with this reckless behavior, if the United States
has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way, North Korea will be destroyed," Haley said. "And we all know that, and none of us want that."
The United Nations Security Council adopted a new round of sanctions on
North Korea last Monday in response to the nation's sixth and largest
nuclear weapons test.
Trump called the move "another very small step," but Haley talked up the significance of the agreement and went on to say it was near the limit of
what the US could accomplish through the UN.
"We have pretty much exhausted all the things that we could do at the
Security Council at this point," she said.
### - heh yeah forget twin peaks; here's the REAL drama!
i.e., i think we can pretty much assume there ISN'T a diplomatic solution?
well then we KNOW what's coming!
plus russia & china will (or wont) want to play chicken!
dragged in one way or another; they'll HAVE to make up their minds!
(i think if nukes start coming it to it at all then iran will be taken out one-time, probably by israel; our first (because we now have others there
too) 'nuclear fort/outpost' in the middle east... very handy!)
