An Arizona State University professor said Monday that it was difficult to picture a scenario in which North Korea is forced to denuclearize that does not end in war.
“If we stick with our strategic end-state being denuclearization, then we’re talking war and limited strikes are not going to take care of the problem if we decide truly we cannot live with a nuclear North Korea,” Scott Silverstone, a senior fellow with the school’s Center on the Future of War, said.
