So what if one looks at this from another pow. Maybe Kim Un is really suicidal. Maybe he's got toxoplasmosis or somebody put an implant in him, while in Switzerland. He could be an US mole by now, if you believe the spy movies :dunno: :pardon:

They probably have a dozen nukes in small boats outside US city harbors. This missile is a decoy. :coffee:

Hmm..British diplomats in Pyongyang have been told by NK officials that their safety cannot be guaranteed after April 10th. I've seen 55 Days At Peking, I know how this ends...

That seems to be the talk. Which means that whatever it is NK is doing, it is having an effect. That is, it is making people consider that it might actually be more than empty rhetoric.
