The Guardian: Mattis on North Korea: any threat to US will be met with 'massive military response'
Speaking outside the White House, US defence secretary told Kim Jong-un to de-nuclearise the Korean peninsula
The US defence secretary warned North Korea that any threat to the US or its allies would be met with a “massive military response” on Sunday, as the Trump administration scrambled to respond to Pyongyang’s claim it has tested a powerful hydrogen bomb that can be loaded on to an intercontinental ballistic missile.
“We are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea,” said James Mattis, speaking outside the White House, but “we have many options to do so”.

Sticks and stones James.
USA can't begin a war because it needs the Congress approval. But we can push the North Korea to make a mistake. For example we can fire a missile over NK as NK did for Japan. North Korea could react differently than Japan and create a "good" reason for an approval from Congress. There are many other ways to make NK doing a mistake because their leaders are under permanent paranoia.
The u.s can attack north korea without congressional approval, it's supposed to get approval within a certain time frame.
This has never happened in most u.s wars, why would the u.s feel the need to declare war this time?.
Yeah send a b2 over every nuclear target and drop thousands of flyers stating that You didn't even know we were here and if this was ammo you'd be dead.
What would they do,contact the pea and charge trump with littering.
