North Korea’s week of escalation

Will North Korea conduct a nuclear or ballistic missile test in order to put meat on the bones of its escalating rhetoric? It’s an increasing possibility.

This week marked Pyongyang’s coordinated shift away from tentative compromise and back to the old blackmail and brinkmanship. First, we saw Kim Jong Un’s regime cut off a communications hotline with Seoul. Then, on Thursday, North Korea launched a scathing attack on the Trump administration’s diplomacy.

“The question is whether there will be a need to keep the relations of Singapore’s handshake,” said foreign minister Ri Son Gwon, “as we see that there is nothing of practical improvement to be made in the DPRK-U.S. relations even though our supreme leadership and the U.S. president are maintaining their personal relations.”

Apparently , the sister is stepping into a role more, Kim YO Jong.

Kim Jong Un Is MIA. His Sister, Kim Yo Jong, Is on the Attack.

She got mad at South Korea; but it is for something that has gone on a long time, apparently, “anti-North Korea” leaflets dropped from air balloons per the article.

I keep up with this some. I don’t know if they in North Korea could have a big jump in the standard of living but the article says it has improved some. I am not so sure. I thought bigger countries, in an act of charity has recently sent them food. Grains, rice or something.
