North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reviewed his military's plans to rain "an enveloping fire" around the U.S. territory of Guam but opted not to fire missiles at this time, according to state media. Despite the stand-down, some Guamanians were alarmed after two radio stations aired an erroneous emergency alert Tuesday.
Kim visited the Korean People's Army as the self-imposed mid-August deadline for a missile demonstration approached, the Korean Central News Agency reports. But after hearing the plan and considering it, Kim opted not to give the order to launch missiles," the report says.

WELL WELL WELL
But let’s obsess and castigate Trump for his recognition that “both sides” caused the mayhem in Charlottesville
Hmmm. China is told Trump is coming after them about unfair trade. China suddenly cuts off all trade with the NORKs. The NORKs suddenly don’t want to strike Guam. But I’m sure those things are all unrelated...
So Kim decided he wanted to keep his steaks and girls and booze.
He’s a socialist don’t you know.
What horse shi! North Korea will finish is accuracy with the ICBM with nuke head and destroy the shi! out of us. All this appeasement is pure giving in to NK and add Iran. America will within a few years be damn near destroyed by NK, Iran, China, and Russia. It is on it's way. WWIII
That’s mighty white of them.
The story behind the story here is that China is feeling GREAT pressure, and fecal matter rolls downhill.
I do believe Xi Jinping was leaning more than a little bit on Kim Jong Un. Fatboi is not altogether devoid of any sense of self-preservation.
The US might not be in a position to effect “regime change”. But China sure is.
Trump will get zero credit for this from the media and the left.
If there is a clean and easy way to end the Nork regime, China would be all for it.
The question is, how do you go about doing that?
Next page..... NK playbook titled how to make the running dog, yankee imperialist, stooge, lackeys dance.
And the media, our leaders, anyone needing to create a distraction, lap it up like cats on a bowl of milk.
My guess from the beginning. We’re now returning to the same game plan allowing them to develop and complete their plan.
All they have to do is not fire on US territory.
Everything is back to normal and the can is still rolling down hill.
Regardless, this little POS wasn’t put in his place by Obama
Wipe the eggroll off your face, FatBoy
Trump is a master at misdirection. Everyone is yelling about Charlottesville, meanwhile, he's making real progress on something of lasting importance.
Charlottesville is trivia that will be forgotten about at the end of the current news cycle; the Norks nuking Guam - or, more likely, having their missiles get shot down, or miss the target entirely - is a serious foreign policy issue with global implications.
I'm more and more impressed by the man, every day he's in office. Also, more convinced that we'd be in seriously deep #$#@$ with Hillary (or The Bern).
Credit for what?
My guess from the beginning. Were now returning to the same game plan allowing them to develop and complete their plan.

WINNING!!!!
Winner, winner chicken dinner. EXACTLY.
If there is one thing you learn from politics, talk is cheap. Watch what they do, not what they say.
If a chia head blinks in a hell hole, will he survive another 8 years?
