Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday that U.S. military efforts to destroy Kim Jong Un’s missile program may be “inevitable if North Korea continues” escalating tensions. “There is a military option to destroy North Korea’s [missile] program and North Korea itself,” Graham said on NBC’s Today show. “If there’s going to be a war to stop them, it will be over there. If thousands die, they’re going to die over there, they’re not going to die here and [President Donald Trump] told me that to my face.” The reclusive country launched a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile Friday, the second one it fired last month. Kim claimed the test’s success shows the “whole U.S. mainland” is in range of its missiles.
