In a pair of tweets from his Virginia golf club on Saturday, President Donald Trump once again derided attempts to pursue a diplomatic course with North Korea and argued cryptically that "only one thing" will prevent North Korea from continuing to expand its nuclear arsenal and threaten its neighbors.
Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid......
...hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!
The tweets sparked immediate alarm, with many assuming that the "one thing" to which Trump referred is some form of military force, which analysts have warned could result in a catastrophic "nuclear nightmare."
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Estimates of war casualties with N Korea could be 2.1 million dead and 7.7 million injured. Get the problem yet? twitter.com/38NorthNK/stat…
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Is that one thing you resigning? I'm sure your generals told you there are zero good military options against N Korea twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…
Trump has repeatedly disparaged Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for engaging in talks with Pyongyang, saying that he is "wasting his time."
Our best hope is that Kim Jong-un will be the grown-up of the situation and decide that Trump is just blustering. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…
We've had 10 months of idle, ambiguous threats to attack North Korea. They've had their most successful year yet. Give it up. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

Trump's preparing US public for war with North Korea, while at the same time killing the #IranDeal. Cuz why have 1 war when you can have 2?
Trump is the most dangerous man in the world. Congress needs to intervene now & take his ability to start a preemptive war. #NorthKorea pic.twitter.com/DKm9ljqekW
