North Korea tell U.S. Not to test patience

[Law Man]

Kim Jong Un has been quiet for a while.  Why is he starting his rhetoric now?

[Law Man]

The North Korean leader said he would have no choice but to defend his country if sanctions continue.  He said he would have no choice but to act if Washington continues with its one sided demands.

What would you do?

[Law Man]

I would not have fired General Mattis, Secretary of Defense.

He wasn't fired. He wasn't in line with the Syrian withdrawal so he resigned. We have lots of very capable minds in our military. 

[Law Man]

Mattis was a 4 Star General. The Acting Secretary of Defense worked for Boeing. I hope and pray he does well.

Key word is “acting”. We will find a suitable replacement.

You don't feel he is qualified? He could possibly be the next Secretary of Defense.

Well, you said he is from Boeing so I assumed you thought he was not qualified. Me, I'm not sure, but I do know we have plenty of qualified people.  

Trump will handle Un.

We have had previous Secretary of Defense with no military back ground and went on to do well. If I had a choice it would be a Military General.
