That should ease high tensions between the US and NKorea.

The U.S. flew two strategic bombers over the Korean Peninsula on Saturday in response to North Korea's latest ballistic missile test and nuclear threat.

Two B-1B Lancer bombers from Guam's Anderson Air Base flew over the Peninsula for precision-strike training, the U.S. Pacific Air Forces said in a statement. The training session, a 10-hour bilateral mission with Japanese and South Korean fighter jets, comes days after North Korea test-launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile.

It's good to remind the Bad Haircut of where he really stands in the overall scheme of things.

Oh, I'm sure The Kid has taken notice of our military presence near-by to him.

Now were even closer to physical war with NKorea than prior to this past weekend. I had not entertained the thot that NKorea is now prepared to fire at US planes outside their air space. We know that if and when anything US is fired on, full blown war will be on.

North Korea says U.S. 'declared war', warns it could shoot down U.S. bombers

NEW YORK/SEOUL- North Korea's foreign minister said on Monday that President Donald Trump had declared war on North Korea and that Pyongyang reserves the right to take countermeasures, including shooting down U.S. bombers even if they are not in its air space.

North Korea 'attacks US aircraft carrier and bomber' in inflammatory propaganda

[countryguy]

It may seem like a small point to some, but the fact is that the Korean War never ended -- technically, we've been at war against North Korea for about 67 years, now.

In 1953, a truce was signed, which halted the actual combat.  However, there has never been an armistice negotiated negotiated and/or concluded, actually ending the official state of war.  It's because of this that every president, since Truman, has actually had war powers, if he really wanted to use them.

And, who would want to bet on Trump not, at some time, trying to use these war powers?

Imagine -- the fate of the world is totally dependent on the easily-bruised egos of two mental 3-year-olds.

On the state of war - yep.

Just call N. Korea the Moose that roared.  (& thanks to M*A*S*H, the TV episode about hired indigenous help by US forces in country.)
