N. Korea Says Rockets to the U.S. "Inevitable"

This NBC News article discusses how a North Korean diplomat claimed that an attack on the United States was inevitable and called President Trump "Mr. Evil President".  These remarks also occurred just a short time after B-1 Lancer Bombers flew near North Korean airspace in a show of force.  Trump then responded to this diplomat by tweeting that if North Korea continued this behavior then "they won't be around much longer".  These rising tensions and the show of force only serve to escalate the already rising tensions in the region.
