More dialogue, less rhetoric

NORTH Korea knows exactly what it wants to do to provoke the US, and only the US, promptly announcing it would fire four of its Hwasong-12 missiles over Japan and into the waters 30 to 40 kilometers from Guam. That is in response to the “fire and fury” that Donald Trump said he would unleash on Pyongyang for its endless nuclear threats against the world’s only remaining superpower.

It may be inferred that North Korea has more than four of such missiles, which could give the US leader a great source of anxiety until possibly the end of his presidency.
