Y’know...
The Norks have done us no great harm in the recent past. Just a lot of bloviating (and counterfeiting and drug dealing and...).
The real folks at risk are the South Koreans and the Japanese. The Norks are shooting missiles over Japan and have shelled South Korean Islands and sunk one of their ships.
Shouldn’t we let them take the lead (and expense) of dealing with only fat guy in North Korea?

“Shouldn’t we let them take the lead (and expense) of dealing with only fat guy in North Korea?”

Simple answer. Collectively, they don’t have the military muscle to “deal” with NK.

History tells a sad tale of what happens when the US urges other countries to take the initiative. To have any credibility at all The US needs to be out front and leading.
