North Korea continues to threaten international stability by defying orders to denuclearise, fueling fears of World War 3.
The former US Ambassador to Russia said: “North Korea is a particularly difficult problem. There are three sorts of possible outcomes here.
“One is war, the other is chaos and I think the people in the region – particularly China – don’t want either of those. The third is a negotiated solution.”
Mr Pickering suggested the United States keep on exercising military and economic pressures on Pyongyang while seeking to open diplomatic talks with leader Kim Jong-un.
But he warned lack of movement towards denuclearisation could spiral into a full-out war between North Korea and the US.
Speaking to CNN International, he continued: “I do think Secretary Tillerson has been right in saying it’s time for us to open channels to the North Koreans to be in and to take this military pressure – sanction pressure – in the direction we want to see it go.
“The US public is not interested in another war, particularly in Asia but that’s what’s happening around here.
“The drums are beating and if we don’t move that particular pressure into the direction we want to go, we may well get those two first alternatives.”
