Article snippet: Sen. MORE (D-Mass.) on Tuesday compared the United State's current standoff with North Korea to a “modern day Cuban missile crisis.” Markey, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on MSNBC’s “All in with Chris Hayes” that the situation with North Korea is reaching a dangerous point because of the potential harm North Korea could inflict in the region. “We have a country with nuclear weapons that can be aimed at our 29,000 troops in the demilitarized zone, that can be aimed at 25 million South Koreans within a 30-mile radius of the demilitarized zone,” Markey said. President Trump issued a stern warning to North Korea not to continue its threats of nuclear attacks Tuesday, saying the country “will be met with fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before.” North Korea, in turn, threatened a preliminary missile strike against the U.S. territory Guam over Trump’s warning.
