And you seriously think Trump wouldn't try to actually fit the bill for an existential crisis?
Seriously, I don't. As we say down here, he's all hat and no cattle. He's backed away from every single policy initiative he's posited when he saw that his bluster didn't turn the trick. Un, no doubt, has his number already. I think the DPRK's approach in this round of tension has not been aimed at driving a military confrontation, but rather showing the world exactly what sort of fool we have in the Oval Office. And they succeeded probably beyond their wildest dreams.

The Iranians are already hinting that they'll be next if the new sanctions go through.
