The perception of INSANITY arguably enhances deterrance.

I’m completely serious: I would advise DJT to periodically DO crazy stuff while afterward appearing to TRY to cover it up.

Maybe not walk around in a suit and SCUBA flippers, but you get my drift.

I doubt Kim’s Young’un would pop off any missiles at US or US interests. The one thing that drives him is his own survival, he’ll even take out family members along with any official that he suspect pose a danger to his status as the ongoing “great leader-ness”.
He knows that whatever damage he could inflict on the US, it would be dwarfed by what the US would do to NK. It would mean the end of NK, the end of the Kim dynasty and likely the end of his own life. No more movies, expensive booze and food, women or basketball for him. He’s not the suicidal-kamikaze type.

"...while Pyongyang’s top diplomat claimed that the regime was nearing a 'balance of power' with the US."

[familyop makes his eyes wide, like an owl, in awe at the greatness of North Korea.]

Proud North Korean leaders should show us their power! We would be so honored only to see it!
