If there was a military option to deal with North Korea it would've been freakin' used at some point in the last 50 years. The most militaristic nation on Earth is not going to just sit on a military solution to an antagonistic foreign power that threatens an ally, it just makes no sense.
The people that understand this the most ARE the North Koreans. Trump is playing poker with his cards facing the wrong way.

I find it somewhat concerning that I actually agree with Trump's approach on this one. At some point somebody needs to change the rhetoric that has only allowed the country to strengthen both its capabilities and it's resolve over the last several decades. People need to stop being hypersensitive to anything even slightly assertive - this is the country that is violating human rights at will, publishing threatening propaganda videos for all to see and shooting nuclear capable misses into international waters.
The N. Korean dictatorship is never going to risk being obliterated to simply launch one or two ICBM's that would be destroyed long before reaching their intended targets. The problem is that sooner or later one of these 'test' launches is going to go wrong and actually smack into Japan or Guam and we're going to have a full on conflict whether anyone is ready for it or not.
