Saying that he would assure the destruction of the United States if he’s threatened, Donald Trump’s lover Kim Jong Un said his North Korean forces would “thoroughly annihilate” the forces of both the US–which spells “us,” by the way; I’m the second person to notice that, apparently–and its South Korean allies if provoked, ABC News reports.
Foreign policy analysts believe two things are likely pushing Kim’s increasingly aggressive weapons testing and international posturing. First, the US and South Korea are planning additional joint military exercises, so Kim’s saber-rattling. But the second is more strategic: Kim is escalating tensions with the US and its allies in the belief that if Trump gets reelected he’ll be able to get more concessions from him in return for photo ops.
