Whatever, but the quote which is relevant is that of the President who says "NO options" are off the table.
In any case, we have no "intention" to attack NK but we also have no intention of allowing any dangerous military buildup by it.
You don't really believe we have any "intention" to attack the NK regime without justification do you?
You said -- "In any case, we have no "intention" to attack NK but we also have no intention of allowing any dangerous military buildup by it."
The U.S. has allowed a military build-up for a long time. It doesn't seem to make any difference to the U.S.
You also asked -- "You don't really believe we have any "intention" to attack the NK regime without justification do you?"
By observing past behavior of the U.S. (to present date) -- it appears that the only "justification" that will be used will be dropping an atomic bomb on a U.S. city. Short of that -- there has only been a lot of "yapping" like a bunch of dogs...
