"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire, fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening beyond a normal state, and as I said, they will be met with the fire and fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. Thank you."
Seriously? It's been amateur hour throughout the Trump presidency but now the moron is using over-the-top rhetoric about an extremely volatile situation with nukes invloved. It's bad enough when he is just embarrassing us on the international stage, but his incompetence just pushed the doomsday clock forward significantly.

If they actually attack Guam he'll have to do something. However, it's hard to imagine any response between "impotent Tweetstorm" and "World War III".

Yes. But the best way to prevent this from happening is not by getting into the equivalent of an internet flame war with an unhinged despotic ruler that is already paranoid. Especially when it is two incredibly thin skinned individuals who feel the need to prove how tough they are. De-esculation would be key right about now, something that it appeared Tillerson had been working on with some success lately, at least until Trump decided to channel some shit version of a Game of Thrones script.
It almost seems like Trump wants North Korea to attack so that he can feel justified in attacking them. Which is just beyond stupid.

That would be easier if the State Department was fully staffed. There's no undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security. There's no assistant secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. There's no assistant secretary for International Security and Nonproliferation. There's no ambassador to South Korea. Any of those positions sound useful in this situation?

Speaking so casually about nuking millions of innocent people... Wow. I knew Trump was bad but this is low even for him.
