Thanks for clarifying your position as US foreign policy should be governed by the principle "if they might hurt us in any way then it is necessary to cower to them".
No wonder Trump is your perfect president, he's always been a sniveling coward.
And nice little bonus bit of absurdity trying to compare New Zealand to North Korea to cap it off.
And what else USA could do? I'm afraid, times when USA could strike North Korea freely are history. Not because of North Koran military buildup, of course - but because of China, who would not allow such strike. It would make China look very bad, like they could not establish order in their own sphere of influence. Yes, China did not like nuclear North Korea (here, all superpowers are in agreement), but China also did not like USA working in their are of dominance.
So, the USA could not strike North Korea without risking the war with China. And economical sanctions & political pressure already failed to persuade North Korea to give up their nuclear program. So, what's left for USA? Either they negotiate, or they are out of any more solutions.
