While speaking to reporters, Mattis said that any missile sent to the United States or even Guam, it will be intercepted and the U.S. military would “take it out”
North Koreans have just recently said that they will launch a total of four ballistic missiles into the sea just right outside of Guam.
Reporters asked Mattis how the U.S. would respond in an event of North Korea sending missiles over to Guam or the United States. In which he refused to answer, but he did tell us that if radar detected any missile heading towards Guam or the U.S., it would be up to President Trump to decide further action.
Here’s what Mattis said:
“If they shoot at the United States, I’m assuming they’ve hit the United States. … If they do that, then it’s game on.”
“You don’t shoot at people in this world unless you want to bear the consequences,” Mattis told reporters at the Pentagon.
“War is up to the President, perhaps up to the Congress, the bottom line is we will defend the country from an attack, for us that’s war, that’s a wartime situation,” he said.
“We will defend the country from any attack, at any time, from any quarter. Yes, that means for a lot of young troops they’re going to be in a wartime situation, welcome to reality. But it’s not declaring war, it’s not that I’m over here Dr. Strangelove doing things like that,” he added.
