As controversy swirls around what the United States will do in regard to North Korea, lots of people took their thoughts to Twitter.
Some, like Jacob Wohl, who is the CEO of Montgomery Assets say the launching of a missile must be responded to. While the launch failed, it occurred while vice president Mike Pence visited the border of the country.

Others on Twitter recognize that a nuclear war could be in the near future, something that wouldn’t bode well for the majority of citizens worldwide, regardless of what country they live in.
Hi dear Majority,
do you think you will succeed before there is a #nuclearwar in #NorthKorea?

All of this uncertainty leaves people looking at U.S. president Donald Trump for answers. But according to multiple people, Trump avoiding discussing the topic when asked about it Monday morning. The issue is a complex one and given Trump’s history of being unpredictable and making quick, impulsive decisions, many Americans are concerned.

What idiot told #Trump it would be a good idea to give a mad man an ultimatum? Sadly I suspect it may be his own thinking. #NorthKorea

#Pence says "strategic patience" w/ #NorthKorea is over. That term is used all over @CFR_org website for years re: North Korea. Significant.

Trump and Pence say they will no longer have “strategic patience” with North Korea. And now that Trump is the person in charge, Americans will just have to wait and see what happens next.
