to North Korean provocation since the 1950s.

Stop posturing Trump. Alt right are the only ones in the USA advocating a return to posturing.

Stop the ad libing. Meet with your generals. Discuss. Remember Obama worked on a plan for 3 weeks when ISIS exploded on the scene. And ISIS is running and hiding now.

1. NK threatened to hit Guam with 4 missiles

That is a suicide note. Once they launch, they have committed suicide.

How would you feel if you were Guamanian?

2. Didn't that Guam threat come after the fire and the fury Trump retort?

I have family in Japan. I don't want to see anything escalate.

3. It is possible but not probable per my understanding of this article

6. I am going with the time things were reported in the press. Guam came way after.

Of course that doesn't mean Trump Didn't know about it before his bluster. You are correct. Point is he is feeding Un.

5. NK has announced its intention to perform an at-range unarmed missile test.

That's not exactly a suicide note, unless we decide to make it one.

4. Robin Wright is simply not correct here.

There were a lot of responses when NK set off its first nuke. During Obama's Presidency, North Korea launched missiles over Japan, and there was a significant response.

I suppose what he means is Trump and Kim Jong-un communicating with each other on the national news, in lieu of a phone call or traditional diplomatic communication methods.

7. Yes. They should not be communicating through the news. Or posturing.
