North Korea threats predictable but Kim Jong Un is not, analysts say

North Korea threats predictable but Kim Jong Un is not, analysts say. “Kim Jong Un may need to consolidate his political power at home. A strong response by the U.S. or South Korea, such as this week’s B-2 bomber flyover, helps rally domestic support and distract from economic problems.” Yeah, a good war always makes people forget they’re eating cardboard. Did we say “eating”?

I feel sorry for our allies, S. Korea and Japan, because if that little greaseball does pull the trigger they will be on their own. Does anyone really think our Commie-coward-in-Chief will back them up?

  No way Whiskeyriver and the whole damn mess lies with Clinton and Carter. Carter for meddling and for Clinton allowing the clown of cluster to even get any where near N. Korea.
  
  This crazy man is wanting to prove to the military that he is tough and ready to fight. That makes him not only crazy but very, very dangerous. The only leash on this toad is the Chinese and its hard to see them reigning his crazy ass in any time soon.
  
  President quagmire cant get his ass off the golf course long enough to be bothered with a crisis on the horizon. That and his attempt to disarm all of the law abiding citizens so he can complete the transformation that he wishes to do.

    I don't know about crazy but dangerous? You can take that to the bank. At least clowns like Morsi understand how the world works and won't push too far but the same can't be said for Numbnuts. North Korea has been isolated from the rest of the world for so many years he has no idea of what could happen if he goes nuclear.

      Although if he does, I am hoping that the US will bomb him off the face of the planet reunite thecountry and let them get on with their lives. No need for nukes, conventional bombs would work. There are several spots around the globe where I feel this would be a best case scenario.

I think He will be assassinated by one of his generals if he goes too far. Won't improve the country for its people but it will prevent them from bring bombed

He can't do squat to us here, but our allies in Seoul and Tokyo should take this madman seriously.

Ironically, KJU's unpredictability is what makes him predictable.
