I've read articles lately that say that Kim Jung Un is lierally drinking, smoking and eating himself to death.  Maybe he has a death wish.  His sister would likely take over if he dies and she's even more radical than him.  I always worry that someone so insulated and suffering from a mental illness could actually talk themselves into thinking that we were getting ready to launch.  More than likely, he is hoping to stop the exercises we have with South Korea and Japan.  

I agree with you about Iran.  And that is what worries me about Biden and Blinken - they would love to rush back into a nuclear treaty with Iran that nets nothing for us and no assurances.  We're really at a disadvantage negotiating with Persians - they have been negotiating for centuries and we always are in a rush to cut a deal, even if its a bad one.
