(24,396 posts)At this point, embarrassing him with his own empty threats serves to weaken him further as POTUS. I tend to think that's the actual end game for all of our enemies who are currently testing how far they can push tRump. A weakened tRump means a weakened USA. A weakened USA becomes unattractive to allies, who then start looking for others when it comes to building alliances.

NK may hate the US, but no less than Trump hates the western blue states. And he never lets go of a grudge.
My fellow West Coasters, we need to go into high alert. If you live by military bases, listen to the skies. Get your emergency supplies together. Be prepared for the worst. Hope for the best!

By the same token, one would assume the military would not be so reckless to preemptively attack NK, because that action would illicit a nuclear response from them
This is the theory of peaceful coexistence
