North Korea is not a threat. They do not have the capability to strike Guam with anything more than a bottle rocket. Their missiles capabilities are being exaggerated. They are still years from detonating a bomb on the end of an ICBM.

Son't get me wrong, they are a threat, and we shouldn't allow them to keep building their capabilities, but this is being trumped up right now because Dim Don needs a distraction and he's trying to save his Presidency. If an adult were in the White House we would not be even close to a crisis around this.

They tried hard for a war against Russia, and seem to have failed.
Now they are trying for a war against North Korea. Looks like this one might work.
