(111,245 posts)2. There is little different about the rhetoric coming out of NK
Loudspeakers inform the people there to prepare for an imminent US invasion every day and have done so for years. We're the big bogeyman that keeps the Kim family in power. The ramped up rhetoric from Donnypoo is new and it was delivered by a man in a physical posture of extreme defensiveness. That "leak" about a potshot at Guam? Give it the three day smell test.
Your suggestion is a good one.
