WASHINGTON/SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea is working on plans for a missile strike near the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, calling President Donald Trump's warning of "fire and fury" a "load of nonsense" and that only "absolute force can work on him."
.....
Trump's unexpected remarks prompted North Korea to say it was considering plans to fire four intermediate-range missiles to land 30-40 kilometers (18-25 miles) from Guam, home to about 163,000 people and a U.S. military base that includes a submarine squadron, an air base and a Coast Guard group.
.....
The news agency said Trump "let out a load of nonsense about 'fire and fury'," adding "sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him."
.....
"The DPRK should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people," Mattis said in a statement, using the acronym for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Two unstable leaders of nuclear states trying to bully each other.

1. This is funny coming from NK: "sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason"

North Korea expects the US to be the reasonable ones. They don't know how to deal with someone playing the same game.

I agree it's a bullying competition.

2. Interpretation

So it sounds like North Korea is threatening to carry out a (provocative) test as opposed to trying to hit Guam.

3. I worry for the South Koreans

and also the North Korean civilians. I'm not entirely convinced North Korea is capable of doing much damage to the US, but they could ravage South Korea. Even best case outcomes in the event of an open war are horrendous.

These two idiots (Trump and Kim) need to retire and go do something else with their lives.
