"President Donald Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon says there’s no military solution to the threat posed by North Korea and its nuclear ambitions, despite the president’s recent pledge to answer further aggression with “fire and fury.”"
Someone please help me understand this.
Bannon is the White House Chief Strategist. Obviously, he reports to the POTUS or to someone below the POTUS in the chain of command.
The POTUS has threatened North Korea with "Fire and Fury" and has also stated that the US military is "locked and loaded".
Now Steve Bannon made the unsolicited statement "there is no military solution for North Korea" and contradicts his boss!
Unless Bannon strategy is trying to kill Kim Jong Un from laughter, I can only interpret his words as an attempt of undermining the POTUS' statements.
What am I missing here?
