What’s different this time. Usually, the NK dictator rattles his sword and the U.S. caves to appease him with food aid. This isn’t happening with Trump. Rocket Man blusters and gets nothing. He threatens nuclear annihilation and gets nothing. Throwing a temper tantrum isn’t working like it did with past U.S. administrations.
Meanwhile the NK army goes hungry. At some point, they either completely collapse due to starvation, or there is a military coup that topples Rocket Man. I’d bet on the later.
You’re probably right. It’s one thing for civilians to subsist on bark, but to force a guy who carries a gun to do so risks his using it on you.
Or they invade South Korea where there's plenty of food, and do it while the South is distracted by the Olympics.
See what happens when the USA doesn’t pay the geld that past presidents paid? Perhaps there was some strategery involved in DJT not stomping the stuffings out of NK. Just wait for the inevitable starvation of the Nork military and watch the implosion. Or they lash out and attack the South, and THEY become the bad guys instead of us.
With this latest news, if factual, I would bet on the latter. If you remember, there were a number of attempts on Hitler. The problem was that he had his SS and Gestapo types who were loyal. Wonder how many of the top NK military are actually loyal or just afraid of Kim's ruthlessness?
Also, would Kimmy want to go out in a blaze of glory by using his wmd's? He may be that crazy.
