The people of North Korea hate America because of the Korean war and 20% of their population being killed by American forces. And to (fully) understand the current situation one must realize why the North Koreans hate America.
The war was a long time ago and most were not even born. People who fail need someone to blame their failure on. Fat Boy uses the US as their boogey man to keep everyone scared and under his control.
"The Korean War (June 1950 – July 1953) began when North Korea invaded South Korea. The United Nations, with the United States as the principal force, came to the aid of South Korea. China came to the aid of North Korea, and the Soviet Union gave some assistance." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War
"The story dates to the early 1950s, when the U.S. Air Force, in response to the North Korean invasion that started the Korean War, bombed and napalmed cities, towns and villages across the North. It was mostly easy pickings for the Air Force, whose B-29s faced little or no opposition on many missions."
"The bombing was long, leisurely and merciless, even by the assessment of America’s own leaders. “Over a period of three years or so, we killed off — 20 percent of the population,”"

What I don't understand is, why the peace treaty was never signed. Is that true, and why not sign the peace treaty and quit war mongering.
I'm honestly unsure entirely about the use of nukes like this. It is a no win situation. Either we strike too early and prove our enemies were right or we wait and see they weren't bluffing.
No one in their right mind would propose using nuclear bombs, that is a lose-lose. We have no interest in going to war with NK, that's just bluster.
The facts of the situation - NK has ICBMs and miniaturized nukes - shows that it is the past "diplomatic" presidents are the ones who got played.
I'll take diplomacy over nukes any day. Trouble is, our illegal president has absolutely no diplomatic skills. If that is not scary, I don't know what is.
Deep Divisions Emerge in Trump Administration as North Korea Threatens War
The New York Times
The spiral of fighting words left the Trump administration debating how to handle a standoff that has defied three presidents and only grown more ominous in recent weeks as North Korea successfully tested intercontinental ballistic missiles for the first time. Neither Mr. Tillerson nor Mr. Mattis had seen Mr. Trump’s threat in advance, and the dissonance in their own follow-up statements reflected not just the varying missions of the nation’s top diplomat and defense chief, but the struggle inside the Trump administration.
“I don’t think there is a single policy at work,” said Ellen L. Frost, a longtime Asia specialist at the East-West Center, a Honolulu-based research organization. “I’m not even sure that Trump cares about having a consistent policy on any subject.” Instead, she said, the president’s fire-and-fury threat was a play to demonstrate toughness to his political base “followed by more nuanced cleanup operations on the part of Tillerson and Mattis, who are walking a political tightrope.” Deep Divisions Emerge in Trump Administration as North Korea Threatens War
This is what having a 'LUNATIC' who is also a 'MORON' as POTUS, is like!
thankfully it's unlikely that they've given President Hug-Me the real nuclear codes and the briefcase contains nothing more threatening than a Gameboy, a juice-box and a package of Ho-Ho's

Wow what a brilliant idea. How did we not think of diplomacy with Kim before? He seems so reasonable, darn Trump and his illegal presidency.

The entire situation is the result of having morons like Clinton and 0bama as POTUS in the past. North Korea and their nukes are the legacy of mainly Clinton, and continued appeasement by 0bama in the last critical eight years .
Mattis and Tillerson are doing great. Mattis backed up the tough talk and Tillerson looks for diplomatic solutions as he should. The people who don't know how to react to an unscripted president is the media.
