Kim Nuke Exit Strategy Flame Out?
So North Korea sent a torrent of missiles to protest US/South Korean military exercises. Did “End A Nuclear Kim Regime” threat by US cower the tyrant any more than such trash talk against Putin before Ukraine attack?
True, the joint warning issued by the US and South Korea was in the wake of North Korea firing an unprecedented 23 missiles in a single day on Wednesday and after the Kim regime had made veiled threats about its willingness to use nuclear weapons to “defend” itself in recent days against allied forces going through their own annual defensive paces. The allied warning was presumably a pre-emptive diplomatic strike to discourage Kim’s escalating the already escalated standoff between the two sides that’s been percolating this side of crazy since the Korean War “truce” was struck nearly 70 years ago.
So far for both sides, it’s been mostly a matter of bravado talk, having soldiers play out their war games and launching unarmed rockets through the air. Yet, one of these days, Kim might just pull a Putin and call Biden on his latest bluff … Then, what? How would Kim be shown his door any faster than Putin? And, who’d take his place? Attila?
