    Default Kim Jong Un Has Decided To 'Go to War,' North Korea Watchers Warn

    If this twit didn't have nukes he'd be funny as Hell. I wonder which scenario he's looking at where N Korea comes out of any nuclear exchange as anything more than a parking lot

    South Korea should set up the world's longest buffet next to the DMZ and tell the North Korean soldiers that they surrender while eating from big buckets of KFC.

    It's the "nuttier than usual" part. Recall Un purring like an obese cat when Trump was stroking his fur? He's feeling left out in the attention department. All the current global threats and he isn't one of them. Not sure what he expects with China and Russia being a MAJOR problems right next door.

    What he should expect, IMO, if and when we finally have to deal with China, taking out the N Korean trash while we're at it is almost an afterthought.

    I've long thought this: S Korea/the Korean Peninsula is a crappy place to be strategically on defense. It would be a crappy place to be period in a war between N Korea with commie support and the US/allies. I don't see much coming out of it for either side but a parking lot. As stated in the article, given current wishy-washy US support, that could play into Un's hands. He's already got a parking lot. Not much to lose and everything to gain.

    You get the overall impression that Kim sees himself in a desperate situation. His already poor economy is collapsing and he seems ready to lash out militarily at those he considers his enemies even as he cozies up to Russia and China. It’s a very dangerous situation for South Korea but also for the US which has a lot of troops stationed there.
    Again, what's he got to lose? Especially if he's getting reassurances for weapons from Putin. Be about right that this moron is the one that sets off WWIII.
