Fox News Insider, August 29, 2017 – Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN John Bolton says the U.S. must consider using the military option against North Korea in response to the rogue nation’s saber-rattling.

North Korea on Tuesday fired a ballistic missile designed to carry a nuclear payload over Japan, an act of defiance that Bolton says sends a clear message to Tokyo, Seoul, and Washington.

In response, President Donald Trump warned Kim Jong Un’s regime to stop their “threatening and destabilizing actions,” and he said that “all options are on the table” for the U.S.

Bolton said the responsibility of the U.S. government is to protect U.S. citizens, and that’s why Trump must keep the military option on the table.
