We have an obligation to American families, servicemembers, and our allies to say that we did everything in our power to curb #NorthKorea’s dangerous behavior without resorting to armed conflict.

We should be open to talks with
#NorthKorea. But the State Department is already alarmingly under-staffed to handle the threats from the regime. And we still don’t have a U.S. ambassador to South Korea – more than a year into@realDonaldTrump's administration.Show this thread -
Congress must demand that the Trump administration exhaust all diplomatic and economic options in
#NorthKorea short of war. Our pressure on North Korea must be combined with simultaneous and direct engagement with the regime.Show this thread -
Talks are not synonymous with concessions. Talks backed by targeted pressure and stronger alliances is the path pursued by countries that are strong, confident, and wise. While the drumbeat of war, on the other hand, is the sound of fear and insecurity.

Excellent speech Senator Markey! I just hope and pray that your words didn't fall on deaf ears! Americans do not want another War. Donald Trump's done nothing but Stokke War.
