"North Korea's continued pursuit of nuclear weapons is a path that leads only to more isolation," the president said.
He added, "The commitment that the United States of America has made to the security of the Republic of [South] Korea only grows stronger in the face of aggression ... Our alliance does not waiver with each bout of their attention seeking. It just gains the support of the rest of the world."
Strong and concise message from POTUS! Better than this:
"We can't have madmen out there shooting rockets all over the place ... This shouldn't be handled now, but I'm gonna handle it because we have to handle it. 'Little Rocket Man.' "
Too bad the first quote was from Obama in 2014. Our Dotard in Chief prefers the language of playgrounds and reality shows to the language of diplomacy.
Where's the silver lining?
Somewhere hidden, in our recollection of once having a leader who spoke intelligently and with the dignity befitting the office of president.
