President Trump promised “fire and fury” if North Korea continues to go down the road of nuclear war. What does Defense Secretary Mattis have to say?
“The DPRK must choose to stop isolating itself and stand down its pursuit of nuclear weapons,” Mattis said in a statement.”The DPRK should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people.”
Lemme translate that for you. If North Korea goes down this road, it will be met with a “fire and fury” and it will result in THEIR destruction. Mattis was just saying that as nicely as possible.
“The DPRK regime’s actions will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict it initiates,” he added.

“President Trump was informed of the growing threat last December and on taking office his first orders to me emphasized the readiness of our ballistic missile defense and nuclear deterrent forces,” Mattis continued.
“While our State Department is making every effort to resolve this global threat through diplomatic means, it must be noted that the combined allied militaries now possess the most precise, rehearsed and robust defensive and offensive capabilities on Earth,” he added. “The DPRK regime’s actions will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict it initiates.”
BAM. Suck it, North Korea (and liberals whining about us being too mean to North Korea).
