He’ll fire a few more missiles and hope it scares Trump or someone made a deal with him

Notice that Trump got him to try and attack Guam, which is still significant and given that we have fighter jets on the island (keep in mind I’m not downplaying this), but NK isn’t saber-rattling about attacking the West Coast or Alaska anymore. They’re focused on attacking an island that’s no bigger than some counties. That’s how deft Trump’s negotiating/tactical skills are at seeing the issue and forcing his opponent to settle for less.

If true, the guy with the world’s worse haircut went eye to eye with POTUS.... and he blinked.

"He decided to call it off after he visited a military command post and looked over a military plan his senior officers presented him."

Kim: What is that big flat spot?
Generals: Pyonyang, and most of North Korea.

Kim: Why is it so shiny?
Generals: It is glass, reflecting the sunlight
Kim: What is that group surrounding a gallows in Tahiti?
Generals: That is the US military and us, since no one honored the non-extradition treaty. See the vultures emitting cries of "Kim.....Kim....." in anticipation.

“He decided to call it off after he visited a military command post and looked over THE AMERICAN military plan his senior officers presented him.”

We are back to the beginning of last April. That is, U.S. military is converging to S. Korea for another military exercise(with carriers involved,) Trump issues bold-faced threat, China says it could stay neutral when U.S. attacks N. Korea and cuts off some trade with N. Korea, Kim suspends an upcoming test(nuclear bomb or missiles,) and Trump promises to go easy on China with regard to trade.

The current situation is a slightly upgraded version of the last one. If it does not followed by a significant movement to a resolution, all it does is to just freeze the situation It would just delay the process not reverse it.

Get caught bluffing, you lose.

This takes the pressure off but it is not Trump's solution to the problem...GUARANTEED!

This is the beginning of the end Kim.

Well, this will be good for wall-to-wall coverage on the mainstream media 24/7!

Just kidding....most won’t give it a peep.

Or maybe the media will say, what a great, and wonderful peacemaker that fat boy is, inspite of the warmongering dude in the White Hiuse, and how he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
