WSJ’s McGurn: Bill Clinton Has Also Threatened North Korea with Destruction in ‘93

‘That’s the same as Donald Trump’

McGURN: "Most hated speech of speech writers, because you usually call people back to isles. This was a bracing speech basically about upholding the liberal order, and people went nuts. I liked it even more when I saw Dianne Feinstein saying it was the stage for war, the Vatican calling it deplorable and Kim Jong Un, you know, reacting with his own names. You know, one of the things they forgot, too, in all the hysteria over Korea, one is Bill Clinton made the same threat in 1993 -- "
GIGOT: "The threat of military force."
McGURN: "Not only that, it'd be the end of their country as they know it if they went nuclear. That's the same as Donald Trump. Also he qualified it, if forced to defend ourself and our allies. Again, Senator Feinstein's saying he's threatening war. What is Kim Jong un doing, you know, with these missile launches and so forth?"
