Someone told me today that the kind of threats Kim Jong-un
has made in the past few days could justify a preventive strike against the
regime in Pyongyang. My response was very clear: I do not think so. It would be
indeed a mistake to take any preemptive military action against North Korea at
this stage. Active deterrence through a clear joint show of force in the region
combined with clear-cut diplomatic initiatives by China and Russia, and the UN
Security Council as a whole, should be enough to send an unequivocal message to
the young man.
