“I think Americans should sleep well at night, have no concerns about this particular rhetoric of the last few days,” Mr. Tillerson said as his plane stopped on the way back to the United States to refuel in Guam, the very island that North Korea threatened to target with an attack.

He added: “Nothing I have seen and nothing I know of would indicate that situation has dramatically changed in the last 24 hours.”

People need to stop panicking and worrying. The U.S is in good hands with sexy Rexy Tillerson and James Mad Dog Mattis. Unless Kim Jong Un plans to attack us with a "disco inferno," I wouldn't be worried:

"Sexy Rexy" lol

Kind of off topic but I have a friend who is a dead ringer for Kim Jong Un. Looks very similar to him and it's great fun to point it out and call him things like dear leader. Luckily he has a great sense of humor.

Disco? I'd rather have nukes launched at me. Anything but Disco. But what I am really afraid of is Kim Jong Un having rap in his arsenal. The thought of that gives me nightmares.

Do we really need Guam? It's a rock pile in the middle of nowhere, sort of like an organic aircraft carrier.

I don't want this issue to recede into the background until Kim is disarmed.
 
Tillerson is a better CEO than Sec State. He is almost as embarrassing as his boss.

I doubt most Americans were really worried. Most of us have faith in our defenses and realize NK is just The Mouse that Roared. It is the media that fans the flames...

Why? Pretty definitive statement. Could you elaborate?

It's purely subjective Maggie. His record as CEO speaks for itself IMO, but his actions as Sec State seem awkward. I understand he is new to the game, so that makes it understandable, and I hope he improves.

To me he seems very unstatesmanlike.
