(Christian News Alerts) – It is undeniable that America’s relationship with North Korea has taken a turn for the worse. Now, Secretary of Defense James Mattis has warned Pyongyang that tensions are accelerating at a dangerous pace.
While speaking in South Korea, General Mattis said: “North Korea has accelerated the threat that it poses to its neighbors and the world through its illegal and unnecessary missile and nuclear weapons programs,” according to The Guardian .
In his eyes, the US-South Korean alliance has taken on a “new urgency” as the threat of nuclear war has increased. “I cannot imagine a condition under which the United States would accept North Korea as a nuclear power,” Mattis said.
Unfortunately for the general and the Trump administration, North Korea is already a nuclear power, and has been for quite some time.
Given this, why hasn’t North Korea already blown South Korea, its mortal enemy, off of the map?
The most logical explanation is that North Korea sees its nuclear arsenal as the only deterrent from US-sponsored regime change.
As unhinged as Kim Jong-un may be, he remembers Iraq and Libya, two nations that lost their dictators once the Western world realized that they no longer had WMD arsenals.
