Now the world has inverted itself, and the brokest, poorest, nothingest joke states on Earth, like North Korea, are going nuclear, while the wealthiest societies in human history, whether you’re talking about Norway or Switzerland or Australia, have no means to resist these nuclear provocations. And so North Korea, I think, is in the equivalent of neighborhood thug who understands that you can do an awful lot, and all the nice people who just want a quiet life, will in the end appease you and bribe you, and give you what you want to just go and be quiet for a couple more years.
