Kim just has to get “lucky” only once...

If dead is lucky, then you’re right. He would cease to exist in short order.
I really don’t understand what motivates them to want to attack the USA.
“I really don’t understand what motivates them....”
You have shown that you are sane and not evil.
It’s a “going out with a bang” thing. Dictators can’t retire. Kim’s country is starving, He cares nothing about his people, they can be easily sacrificed. The only way he leaves much of a mark on history is to do something big, even if it’s foolish. Will he? We don’t know, I don’t like taking that chance. I have wondered if he has already slipped a nuke in a harbor or something. Could he hide a nuke in a shipping container and pass it through another country? Could that weapon be shielded and not detected? I don’t know the answer to those questions.

Dictators always have to have a boogey man. Just look at what Maduro is doing in Venezuela. Here we are, the place the rest of the world “hates” but the same place where they’d all like to settle. Go figure! And I think for all these years, not unlike the ME with the “Palestinians,” the Norks have been used by China as a foil against us. Now though, I think Xi may get the message that this president isn’t going to “roll over” for their Chink Crap line any longer. And now that they have an industrialized economy, he knows that effing with us could bring a complete collapse of his country economically and bring about the end of the Communist Party there.
