Yesterday, President Trump threatened the North Korean leader with “fire and fury”, and today Secretary of Defense James Mattis put Kim Jong-un on notice this way:
Mattis stmt: North Korea "should cease any consideration of actions that will lead to the end of the regime and destruction of its people"

Mattis stmt: North Korea's "actions will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict it initiates.”

Mattis certainly didn’t mince any words, as usual.
