1. They've been a concern for years, but the policy

of previous administrations has been aimed at containment and careful observation. No previous president has ever deliberately made provocative statements like 45.

2. NK is a godsend if you are the president or administration official guilty of foreign

espionage, allowing an excuse to start a war and divert attention.
