      Heather: Does the State Department really not know that DPRK already has a nuclear capability? This is disturbing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/north-korea-now-making-missile-ready-nuclear-weapons-us-analysts-say/2017/08/08/e14b882a-7b6b-11e7-9d08-b79f191668ed_story.html?utm_term=.1989c08dd90c …pic.twitter.com/FQveApIuka

          If the US attempts to use force against DPRK, it is gambling with *hundreds of thousands* of American lives. Please take this seriously.

          I think she's referring to an ICBM with a nuclear warhead. Clarification is obviously needed.
