it has occurred to me that ill has put himself in a missile destruction box. It is a screwup or on purpose?
He had gone on a tirade threatening to bomb the US with missiles. The US and possibly Japan have gone on alert and activated counter measures to destroy any missle coming out of North Korea.
What that means is there are no practice shots. any shot is now taken to be a real shot, even if they claim practice. That means they are no longer able to practice.
The question is ,is this dumb or smart? It could be a face saving way to disarm, end nuclear missile threat for good. “If I shoot them they get shot down, so why go to the expense. Why shoot them at all.?
From an “Art of War” perspective, Sun Tzu would not advise NORKs tactics.
From a Texas honky tonk perspective, I didn’t stand there and listen when some lil jerk said that he was going to kick my ass. After all, once intent is threatened, all weapons red and free.
