Petraeus: Nuclear War With North Korea Not Likely

Nuclear war between the U.S. and North Korea is not likely despite heightened rhetoric between President Donald Trump and the outlaw regime of Kim Jong Un.  That's the assessment of former CIA Director David Petraeus.  He tells ABC's "This Week"  the sharper rhetoric by the U.S. toward the North should be viewed as a "communications strategy" aimed at pushing China to help halt Kim's nuclear weapons program.  

Although Petraeus emphasizes the importance of a diplomatic solution to the North Korean nuclear threat, the retired general says the U.S. armed services are ready, if necessary, to take on Kim Jong Un's forces.
