Senator Lindsay Graham, while maintaining his independence, has pretty clearly become the Trump Administrations voice from the Senate.
Which makes it really notable that last week Graham, in a news interview, flat out stated that the United States is heading towards military action against North Korea.
Graham left no room for doubt at all. He did not equivocate. If North Korea doesn't give up its nuclear weapons and the ability to make them, we are going to attack them.
Maybe it's blustering to get North Korean back to the table on American terms. But it didn't sound like it, and I doubt that it is.
That doesn't make a war with North Korea, or rather a resumption of the Korean Conflict, inevitable. But when things get started it takes two sides to stop them and only one to start them.
And Graham, it might be noted, said this issue, North Korean nuclear weapons, will be resolved this term of office.
If its a bluff. . . .it's quite the bluff.
Which is perhaps why the North and South Korean heads of state met yesterday.
Stay nervously tuned.
