    The secretary of defense is now threatening to annihilate the citizens of North Korea. So much for "Trump shot from the hip" explanation.pic.twitter.com/Wpef0QX43m

        Final two words--"it initiates"--are important. A not so subtle signal to N Korea we're not gunning for regime change or preemptive strike. https://twitter.com/danlamothe/status/895325551912558592 …

        @nedprice what constitutes initiation when the president has suggested he would consider pre-emptive strikes?

        I have no doubt the DoD statement was carefully crafted, unlike off the cuff remarks from POTUS (which Trump advisors are backing away from)

        I think "destruction of its people" is pretty aggressive language and "initiates" is vague in current environment

        I defer to your expertise on what DOD is trying to say, but I'd submit it might not be read that way.

        To play devil's advocate, isn't he really just saying the obvious? (Nuke Guam and you'll get it back tenfold)

        Let's not act like 10,000's of civilians won't be killed in US attacks. Nuclear facilities are located in most densely populated cities.
