Speak softly and carry a big stick?

Where are you, Teddy Roosevelt, when your nation needs you?

No soft speaking here:
America’s top diplomat has warned that North Korea is “begging for war” and urged the UN security council to impose the toughest sanctions possible on the isolated dictatorship.
The blunt statement by Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, came as Donald Trump spoke with South Korean president Moon Jae-in and agreed that the North’s latest nuclear test was an “unprecedented” provocation.
And, although they certainly have a big stick, can they use it without bringing down the world around their ears?
