Then...we ask China to help with NK.
You don't have the correct Timeline - we started by accepting the previous "One China" policy in regards to Taiwan and making it clear that a Chinese takeover of the Islands off the coast of Japan is unacceptable. We moved forward with a THADD system in South Korea to protect from a North Korea attack. In return - China was to move forward with their own Sanctions to North Korea.

China forced South Korea to stop the THADD installation, resumed the South China Seas takeover and has done very little to make it clear to North Korea that they must stop with the Missiles. Now they face a "new deal" and it didn't take 8 years to do that while North Korea accelerates.

I don't think bombing NK is the answer but how is a specific future threat to the U.S. mainland only a "world police" matter?

In an escalating war of words with the U.S., North Korea warned Thursday of a "super-mighty preemptive strike" that would reduce American military forces in South Korea and the U.S. mainland "to ashes," according to The Rodong Sinmun, official newspaper of North Korea's Workers' Party.

well, I don't mean to be insensitive, but if you want to worry about this, it is your right. i choose not to worry because I don't think I have any reasons to. I am in California, they all say LA is the first target lol

You said nuclear bomb. And ICBM is not a nuclear bomb.

So you were wrong.

Nope. Those are opinion articles.

Please tell us exactly what Trump said. And why the NK has violated it.

So what, we should say "Please Mr Kim, our baby president isn't experienced enough to handle this, can you hold off for a few years?"

Trump wasn't qualified or fit to be president yet his loony followers got him in. If he can't handle the heat (as expected) he should get out of the kitchen.

I see this comment from Trumplings on a regular basis.

They're very easily led to whatever conclusion the RW mouthpieces feed them.

They have detonated nukes and now they have an ICBM. I know you feel like you must defend Trump at every turn, but it has to be tiresome.
