Secretary of State Applies Brakes on North Korea War Talk Over Nuclear Bombs: ”We’re Not Your Enemy”
So wait, we are now buddies with the sick and evil North Korean dictator who’s building nuclear weapons?
The United States “does not seek a regime change” in Pyongyang, and is not looking for a speedy reunification of the Korean peninsula or for “an excuse to send our military north of the 38th parallel,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Tuesday.
“We’re trying to convey to the North Koreans, we are not your enemy, we are not your threat, but you are presenting an unacceptable threat to us, and we have to respond,” the administration’s top diplomat said during a rare appearance at the State Department’s regular press briefing.
Tillerson expressed the hope that message would get through, along with the message that “we would like to sit and have a dialogue with them about the future that will give them the security they seek and the future economic prosperity for North Korea.”
