High Report: U.S. Military can't win against N. Korea, if Russia and China coalition with NoKo

Courtesy: RT, FOX News Russia joined with China in urging the United States not to take military action against North Korea, saying the escalating threats of war being traded between Washington and Pyongyang could reach the "point of no return." The separate statements from Moscow and Beijing came as U.S. military leaders said once again that they have prepared military "options" if negotiations over eliminating North Korea's nuclear weapons program fail. "There are strong military consequences if [North Korea} initiates hostilities," U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said after holding security talks with Japanese ministers in Washington. Mattis's statement echoed U.S. President Donald Trump's warning last week that North Korea would face "fire and fury" if it threatens the United States, prompting Pyongyang to say it was considering firing ballistic missiles at the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam. The exchange of rhetoric has raised alarms in Moscow and Beijing. "Any attempt to resolve the problem over the Korean Peninsula by force will lead to a massive tragedy and enormous loss of life," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a news briefing in Moscow.
