During a visit to South Korea and the Demilitarized Zone, Vice President Mike Pence said that “all options are on the table” when it comes to preventing North Korea from using a nuclear weapon.
“The United States and our allies have stood together for a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. We hope to achieve this objective through peaceable means. But all options are on the table,” he said in Seoul after a visit to the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea.
The Vice President said that “the era of strategic patience is over.”
During his visit to the Demilitarized Zone, Pence told CNN that the U.S. hopes to stop North Korea’s nuclear program peacefully.
“We’re going to abandon the failed policy of strategic patience. But we’re going to redouble our efforts to bring diplomatic and economic pressure to bear on North Korea. Our hope is that we can resolve this issue peaceably,” he said.
Pence called on China to do more to pressure North Korea.
“I know the President was heartened by his discussions with President Xi (Jinping). We’ve seen China begin to take some actions to bring pressure on North Korea but there needs to be more,” Pence told CNN.
What now, My Pants, non-strategic impatience?
Sounds almost like begging to me.
Tough in his leather bomber. Whatta stud.
The only “mission” he ever accomplishes is missionary position.
I feel bad for all the critters in the DMZ if the peace goes away.
