Poor georgie, no one takes him seriously anymore. Last time georgie warned them about the rockets, and then they promptly fired them on our Independence Day.

1. The US can weigh in on such matters
when it cleans up its own backyard of thousands of nuclear warheads.

2. There is no quote in the story that constitutes a warning
I guess the media thought they should make him look tough.

"But he added: "If North Korea were to conduct a test, it's just a constant reminder for people in the neighborhood, in particular, that North Korea poses a threat.""

3. What's he going to do Nuke a starving country?
We already know he doesn't care about civilians getting in the way of his being a "Cowboy".
