Let's hope his ideologies are also gone and the POTUS does not somehow continue to confer with him in the future.  Bannon's take on NK was, however, rational and made absolute sense.  A military option by the United States is not an option until the immediate danger to South Korea is taken out of the equation.  It is rational thinking by Bannon, and while some may say it was a dangerous contradiction to Trump's rhetoric, we need to be sane about this.  There are millions of people in immediate harms way in South Korea.  Military action against NK is never justified unless NK first initiates military action.
