    What does he really expect? If he wants to play with nukes and threaten ultimate destruction every other week, this is what happens. A local deterrence force ready to retaliate.

      These forces are more about containing/controlling China. NK just doesn’t want to be left out of the news.

      Violating a country’s airspace seems to be unnecessarily provoking.
      Not sure what the best way to handle North Korea is but this does seem like a questionable decision.

        Given the relationships between NK and US they could just shoot it down without any warning. So either they couldn’t shoot it, or this is just made up.

    Don’t threaten the US with a good time.

    I mean… For that threat to be taken seriously, NK would be to be able to shoot those drones down in the first place…

      He isn’t going to win a war with the US.

      North Korea has something like 3% the PPP-adjusted per-capita GDP that South Korea does and speaks the same language. If the North-South situation ever normalizes, he is going to be out of a job, because North Korea’s population is going to be in South Korea in short order.

      He starts a war, he’s worse off. He lets tensions go to zero, he’s worse off. I expect that his best route is to keep things about as they are.

      Which is more or less what the Kim dynasty has been doing for a long time.
