Regarding the Gray
If missiles are headed towards Guam. Those missiles become targets.
It can be argued that such a shot down missile might defuse the tension. Face was gained but the effort was shown to be ineffective.
So we should cooperate by allowing Guam to be NK’s test target? Let them tighten up their grouping for the next test salvo? In what world is that acceptable? How about we practice firing missiles right off the coast of Beijing?
