DHS Secretary: I Think Trump Will Be Dealing With a North Korea Capable of Striking U.S. By End of First Term (Iran, interview)

Some pretty scary stuff

What do you think will end up happening ?

Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly said Sunday that he believes President Trump will be dealing with a nuclear North Korea capable of striking America by the end of his first term.

Kelly's statement came during an interview in which CNN's Dana Bash asked Kelly about a recent Los Angeles Times article, which said that, despite $40 billion in spending by the Pentagon, missile defense systems meant to defend against a nuclear strike by North Korea or Iran failed six times out of nine in simulated attacks tested since 2004.

Kelly has a history of being an alarmist. He's doing this now to further build DHS into a mini-empire (it is way too large now).

He has said scary things about building the wall, too. When he knows that illegal crossing are almost non-existent. He is going after Dreamers, then when it comes to light, he lies, as in the most recent case that is now in the Courts.

Kelly shouldn't be allowed around tRump. President Bonkers needs reasonable people around him to calm him down, not rile him up.

I hope Kelly is one of the first to go and is replaced by a civilian with knowledge of world affairs and diplomacy, not a gung ho military guy.

Hopefully it doesn't continue to escalate to that level. Today N. Korea is warning to sink our USS ship.

There is a reason that previous presidents have considered N. Korea a threat to the U.S. but it has only seemed to intensify. It doesn't feel very reassuring to see that the missile defense system failed six out of nine times.
