President Trump's tweeted threat to North Korea may signal a willingness by the U.S. to do something it has never done before — attempt to shoot down an enemy missile in a real world scenario.
"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely," Trump tweeted this morning, escalating a war of words that North Korea said earlier Friday is "driving the situation on the Korean peninsula to the brink of a nuclear war."
While Trump added, "Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!" the Pentagon has confirmed military options have been drawn up.
"Do I have military options? Of course I do," Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters Thursday. "And of course, there's a military solution."
