Yeah, that's why I provided a link to the article containing the full quote. Obama was conveying that the US has the capacity to destroy NK.

But he did so much more diplomatically and with less overt bellicosity than Trump ever could. Let me know what confuses you about this.

"We could but we won't because..." vs "I'm ready, willing and able/ about ready to..." strike me as vastly different sentiments.

Obama never unequivocally said that the US won't strike. He explicitly conveyed that the US has the capacity to destroy North Korea.

Yea, again though, he never even said it was an option he was considering. He did the opposite. Pretty different from Trump statements.

It's the same basic sentiment (reserving right to strike is longstanding US policy) filtered through the mouths of vastly different people.

I disagree for reasons explained above. Many others seem to as well.
