The DP coverage of recent developments on the Korean Peninsula is surreally awful.

At least Gardner has the good sense to be concerned about a madman with WMDs being able to hit Denver with an ICBM; this lunatic, Kim, has threatened to annihilate the US, Japan and the RoK.

The Allies are very close to a military strike against NK because sanctions and diplomacy have not slowed Kim's nuclear proliferation and missile programs.  Haley said that the US will not even bother to call a meeting of the Security Council because even if more sanctions were agreed, members, especially China, Russia, and Iran, would not enforce them.

Trump tweeted quite clearly:  "We will not allow this to continue..."

If the US must use force to stop Kim from getting a nuclear ICBM, then it's likely that there will be millions of Asian casualties which will precipitate WW III because Russia & China will not stand idly by.

The DP does not cover this crisis properly.  It's a dereliction of journalistic duty.
