This column is incorrect about Trump not having a strategy for negotiation with NK.

His strategy is quite clear:

"My way or the suicide highway for you Rocket Man!"

Today Pence seconded the demand that NK thermonuclear ICBMs will not be tolerated.

Trump said last Tuesday:

"denuclearization is NK's only acceptable option."

NK has tested 2 ICBMs and a H-bomb.  Some experts contend that NK has miniaturized nuclear warheads for ICBMs.

NK will not give up their nukes.  Soon they will cross the red line of having thermonuclear ICBM capability.

Now add to this witches' brew the possibility that the Iran nuclear deal is going to collapse and the strong probability that Netanyahu convinced Trump that Iran's nuclear program could be destroyed just as Iraq's and Syria's were by military force.

This is rapidly become a lose-lose nightmare scenario of various nuclear powers going to war on different fronts.

We should be afraid of the possibility of these conflicts turning into WW III.
