He may have to blow up the whole world to teach it a lesson

On Friday Trump said this about North Korea:
“If the sanctions don’t work, we’ll have to go to Phase 2,” Trump replied. “Phase 2 may be a very rough thing. May be very, very unfortunate for the world.”
He had announced new draconian sanctions designed to make Kim Jong Un bow down and prove that Donald Trump has the biggest hands on the planet. If he refuses to denuclearize well then the Trump has no choice but to start a nuclear war.
How else are we going to stop this threat except to do the actual thing we are trying to stop, amirite?
Maybe Kim Jong Un is less crazy that Trump. That seems to be what we are banking on.
