Frankly, I think that North Korean is just a childish bully..... who likes to see people tremble and think he's important.
I've found often the best way to deal with bullies is not tremble or think they are important. Consider Chamberlin with Hitler and how his appeasement might well have brought about WW 2, compare with Reagan and Gorbachov and how
Reagons "tough stand" not only ended the Cold War but played a role in the end of the Communist block. Consider the Obama keep trembling every time this worthless idiot did or said anything, giving him money and begging him to leave us alone - and each time, North Korea was empowered and did more. Trump says one thing.... and he backed down (sadly, his Secretary of State proceeded to then tell the North Koreas that Trump doesn't mean what he says). I don't want war with anyone..... and I'm pretty such this hack doesn't either (a war he OBVIOUSLY can't win).... he wants to say "BOO" and make all those powerful people tremble and bow before him.
That's how I see it..... claiming no expertise in this complicated region of the world (never lived in Korea).
