U.S. Warns North Korea Of Overwhelming Response
February 3, 2017 at 10:02 am
A warning of consequences if North Korea chooses to use nuclear weapons against South Korea and the U.S. ...This is no longer the former Obama administration's foreign affairs appeasement policy.

Quote:U.S. President Donald Trump's defense secretary warned North Korea on Friday of an "effective and overwhelming" response if it chose to use nuclear weapons, as he reassured South Korea of steadfast U.S. support.
"Any attack on the United States, or our allies, will be defeated, and any use of nuclear weapons would be met with a response that would be effective and overwhelming," Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said at South Korea's defense ministry, at the end of a two-day visit.

yeh, warning a hard-headed ego-maniac dictator out of the blue is so very helpful

Oh, my... If North Korea starts misbehaving and chucking all of them nukes at US, like they've clearly been doing for the past 8 years - Trump might "put them on notice"... 
This, along with the dumb wall, muslim ban and whatever else the p*ssygrabber's been up to for the past two weeks - those are all just empty gestures, with the only aim being appeasement of Drumpf*cks. Enjoy the honeymoon, while it lasts...

AT, do you have a source to support your implicit claim that it was the Obama administration's policy to not respond in an "effective and overwhelming" way to a N. Korean nuclear attack against the U.S. or S. Korea? Or are you just squatting and pretending to take a shit?

You think they don't know already? I mean, sure, they do repeatedly threaten the south, but at this point, it's largely a dick-waving contest, and it seems like it would practically be a given that if they actually hit South Korea, that would mean the Korean Armistice Agreement is null and void, and, given that, in practice, it seems South Korea is better equipped, it's safe to say that if a single shell hits South Korean soil, North Korea... won't exist for much longer.

I thought Trump warned Kim Jong Un, not the other way around.

Yeah, you're probably right. Historically, appeasement and not warning a hard-headed ego-maniac dictator always worked.
