The incitement by the press these days seems to be focused on starting an international showdown of some sort.

If this were true, what would be the benefit of declaring publicly what methods we used to defeat a madman dictator?

I don’t think any lives were lost here. If it were true that we caused the failure, wouldn’t it be the best possible preventative measure we could take?

Why would someone want to air it in public and give cause for North Korea to take preventative measures to defeat this tactic in the future?

That would result in us having to step up to some more overt way to prevent it. That would not be nearly as desirable.

Frankly, I’m not buying into the idea anyway.

Bad dreamer, what's your name?
Looks like we're riding on the same train
Looks as though there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown.

And it's raining, all over the world
Raining, all over the world
Tonight, the longest night.

Stupidity? If they truly knew anything they should keep their damned, cursed pie-holes shut. If they don't actually know anything, (and are just guessing) they should keep their their damned pie-holes shut for the same reasons.

As you said;

Precisely.
