"Other times fighter-bombers would probe their Asian or European periphery." During peak times, the operation would include several maneuvers in a week. They would come at irregular intervals to make the effect all the more unsettling. Then, as quickly as the unannounced flights began, they would stop, only to begin again a few weeks later.
Yea, if we go psyops, we will still get rhetoric from NK and his people remain under tyranny. However, there will be NO more missile tests (he can take a hint, and I suspect news of how that new guy in DC operates will reach China pretty fast) and NK is now neutralized.
We should keep the MOAB at the ready...pacifism won't work.
To finish the job, maybe have some Voice of America broadcasts into NK to encourage the good people of North Korea to do a Ceaușescu on lil' Kim.
