President Trump said Friday that he believes former President Obama would have gone to war with North Korea, a claim that members of Obama’s inner circle immediately denied.
Speaking during an impromptu news conference in the Rose Garden of the White House, Trump said Obama once told him he was “so close” to launching a “big war” over North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s nuclear ambitions.

Obama wasn't willing to talk to the North Koreans or hear their concerns.
LOL...Their concerns? LOL

Yes. The fact their country was publicly named as a target of regime change by the United States, a much stronger country with significant military forces in the area.
What, that wouldn't bother you if you were the leader of North Korea?

The Untied States doesn't negotiate with sabre rattling, attention deprived terrorist, and North Korea has nothing the US wants or needs. The USA is committed to its alliance with Japan and South Korea, and are dedicated to their promise to protect them. Starting a war with NK is contrary to our mission.
North Korea is China and Russia problem. Not the USAs.
Kim Jung Un has no concerns other than bolstering own narcissism and inflated ego. He's a psychopathic murderer that has no empathy or valid concerns.

US intelligence has announced that since Trumps claim that NK is no longer a threat they have increased their nuclear capability by as much as 10 more nukes.
Then again, Trump has said a lot of bad things about US intelligence as well.

Uhh as much as I like how Trump just went in there and slapped little fatty around into some sense a bit, North Korea started a massive conflict and still had a huge vendetta against the US. Kim Jung il didn't even die until 2011, Obama and Bush had to deal with that crazy guy still. Imagine if they tried to deal with him like Trump has with a rather well educated meek leader like Jung Un?
I think you need to learn your historical events timeline a little.

I believe it.
After his "Red Line" cucking he took over Syria. Then the complete Sh*tshow of the Iran deal. With his unwillingness to talk to NK, the situation would have only continued to escalate.
Who knows how many warfronts we'd have right now if Hilary had won.

Look, Trump likes to just say stuff sometimes....
But it's not like Obama was the epitome of a peaceful president either.
This one is probably a stretch, but this isn't a hill to die on for me defending him.

Not a psychopath? The leaders had every chance to shut down gulags, to open the borders, and stop playing the victim card to get what they wanted. I have no pity for the past leaders of North Korea.

I know historical events perfectly fine. Kim Jong-il was the one who negotiated with Clinton, Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung. The Sunshine policy dates from this period.
The North Korean leadership is not psychopathic or detached from reality. They are quite comfortable in their current position of power and are very unlikely to endanger the status they enjoy. The US Media's constant lies about North Korea, their apparent "threat" to America and suicidal desire to start a nuclear war are constant however. None of which is true.
Isn't it funny how all the countries that are apparently a threat to America are significantly smaller, weaker and have trillions in potential resources?
Methinks American companies could stand to benefit a great deal financially from that mineral wealth, in addition to the reconstruction contracts from the war.
