Well, nothing new there, as he has extensive record of making threats.

New UNSC members

 

Doesn't matter much, we could have all the countries being members of UNSC, and it wouldn't matter. What matters are only permanent members of UNSC, that have ability to give veto on any decision.

No one in South Korea pays attention to what he says.

He knows that as soon as he starts a war, he and North Korea will be ashes.. by USA and South Korea.

He's just asking for foods..maybe.

That seems to be the official message of the South Korea government, although in reality they are so afraid that they are receptive to once again have US nuclear weapons in the territory and have increasingly bigger military exercises.

 

Until now I have not read one declaration where Kim says that he wants to start a war.

Using your words in the proper order, he says that 'USA, South Korea and Japan will be ashes if North Korea is attacked'

If he gets attacked, he might use the nuke he has because that's the only way..but then as soon as he uses, it's the end of the country and his life too. But I'm not sure if any country will attack him first.

If he gets attacked it will most certainly be without UN support, and destruction will be mutual.

That is the purpose of nuclear weapons, mutual assured destruction, so adventures can think twice.

But now that North Korea has nuclear and hypersonic weapons, attacks will be different in kind.

Not all wars are fought with bullets.

 

Nevertheless, one country has a thing called preemptive strike as its official doctrine, and its elite even consider the possibility of such a win against a nuclear superpower within reasonable costs.

I used it in phone calling yesterday and also emailed a link to my Aunt who expressed dismay at world conditions. Even some of the super political/mouthy people at work are saying they can't understand what's going on in the world, said its so out of control they don't think it can be fixed. No hope.

Good article.

Mankind has surely sunk to its deepest levels. This article is about drug overdoses, alchohol problems, homeless problems, loss of hope. As I read that article I remembered a story a brother told me that happened on Christmas, a family member had some medical issues and needed help. They got to the hospital only to be told there wasn't any beds available because of the surge of people admitted for attempted suicide! So very sad times we cope with.

Alcoholism and suicide are rising along with overdoses and overdose deaths.

For me, whenever questions like that happen I go beyond 10 years, but maybe I'll go with you. 12 months seems reasonable time, hehe

When the economy tank in 2008, a brother told me from eastside of Michigan that many in that area turn to drugs and I'm talking hard drugs too.

Was at the liquor store today and could barely walk around because of so much product spilling out in the walking paths. Clerk said alcohol is a huge thing, massive. They need that much inventory to keep up with the demand. One more broken element of society that's now more broken. Curious how much further man is capable of falling.

The Bible is clear that after this troublesome 7th king there will be no 8th.

 

But I hope China keeps dreaming and pursuing that dream because the sooner they are close to overcome the 7Th the closer this system is to its end.

And there are now very few metrics were the USA is ahead of China.
