Steve Bannon said in his interview with leftist Robert Kuttner of The American Prospect that only a counterattack against North Korea would be in-the-cards to takedown Lil Kim, not a preemptive attack, because millions in South Korea would die even with quick effectiveness of the preemptive strike, so this did not undermine president Trump’s strategy, reinforced it really, Bannon’s “they got us” meaning only that the U. S. will not strike preemptively.
