NO BLUFF: ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis Says North Korea Must Back Down, Or Face ‘The End Of Its Regime And The Destruction Of Its People’

On Wednesday, Defense Secretary James Mattis issued a warning to the North Korean regime that made President Trump’s “the fire and the fury” rant seem downright staid by comparison. According to Mattis:

The United States and our allies have the demonstrated capabilities and unquestionable commitment to defend ourselves from an attack. Kim Jong Un should take heed of the United Nations Security Council’s unified voice, and statements from governments the world over, who agree the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] poses a threat to global security and stability. The DPRK must choose to stop isolating itself and stand down its pursuit of nuclear weapons. The DPRK should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people.
