The reason we have handled North Korea the way the we have for the past fifty years is because it is by far the best option. We have two options here - continue the status quo or go to war. Going to war is just not an option; Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Americans would die within weeks. This doesn't take into account what would happen to South Koreans - There are millions of people living near the border that would be directly in the line of fire.
Trump is learning how difficult his job is. He said he would stop North Korea from getting ICBMs... and hasn't.
