North Korea: What course of action should the US take?

Read the following article attached about the US and North Korea. As we have discussed, the rise of dictators during World War II alarmed nations of the world, especially Great Britain, France, and the US. The British and French appeased Adolph Hitler, with the Munich Agreement. Giving into Hitler's demands, it was thought to keep the peace. We know that is not what happened. If the world did not take Hitler as serious as they should have, shouldn't the world learn from past mistakes?? North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has threatened the United States in recent days, provoking what could be another war. He has threatened to attack South Korea, cut off all diplomatic relations, and eventually, attack US naval bases in the Pacific, etc. ARTICLE: US PLAYS DOWN NORTH KOREA THREAT Questions to answer after reading the article: 1.
