More posturing and provocation.

NK is insane but they won't throw the first punch, they want to provoke someone into attacking them first so they can have China bail them out. If they strike first then China won't come to their aid.

This

It's also all about Kim Jong Un showing his country that he's some big king of the world. Now he's got all these new toys to play with, there's going to be a lot more of this to come sadly.

So far Japan has showed enormous restraint. I wonder what Russia or China would do if someone fired a missile over them. China needs to do more to reign him in. You do wonder if someone will just try to force a regime change quietly from the inside.

I think that's the most likely option. The problem is, China wouldn't support this because of the likely flooding of mass immigration.

Another thing is, anyone who commits a crime in NK ensnares his entire family into that crime. Its not only the perpetrator that gets executed or imprisoned, its everyone who has association with that person, including children and even babies. Its a nation that lives in fear; nobody trusts anyone.

I think he's playing games with Trump and now Trump has backed down with his threats, he's given Kim Jong a clear message about who's in charge. If Trump makes the first strike, China and probably Russia and numerous other countries will go to war with the West. The NK threat is much bigger than NK.

Can't a special agent go under cover as an NK resident and just kill him?

Everything is controlled and regulated in NK, you couldn't easily sneak someone in and make out that they are a citizen, plus movement is restricted. You need special permission to leave the area you live in so it would be very difficult to get to Pyongyang itself if an undercover assassin managed to smuggle themselves in.

'Dotard' Trump? The story of 'rocket man' Kim's insult

On Friday the English-speaking world was startled to find itself suddenly reacquainted with the 14th-Century term "dotard", thanks to an unlikely source - Kim Jong-un.

'Dotard' Trump? The story of 'rocket man' Kim's insult

Definition of dotage

:a state or period of senile decay marked by decline of mental poise and alertness

I've heard of the term doting meaning a similar thing, it's not unheard of.. so I guess someone doting is a dotard :/
In response trump might say Kims views are retarded, which would of course make him ret@rd.

You can say n***a but not ret@rd?

Anyhoo surprised the media is focusing on this silly word and not the very real threat

Agree. It's gonna be interesting to see what happens when these two lunatics decide its time the insults stopped.

People say NK won't throw the first punch. Isn't firing countless rockets over Japan doing exactly that? Think about it, they are firing missiles at a other country. Imagine that Scotland say decided to practice firing the UK's missiles across towards China. How would that be received?

Well it's not a "punch" until the missiles actually cause structural damage or loss of life... It's a "taunt". NK is the angry little fella in the school playground, stood in front of the big jock, screaming at him about shagging his mum. The intention is to get the jock to punch him in the face, so that he can get other people to attack the jock (The other people in this scenario being China and Russia).
