The North Koreans insist we are always plotting against them and surely on the verge of invading at any moment--as we have been for fifty year, apparently.
Indeed, they say our exercises off of Hawaii were timed to coincide with the start of the Korean War as a signal we are still plotting. But:
Besides the North Koreans getting the date of the exercise wrong, it goes without saying that few in the United States sit around obsessing about how to obliterate North Korea; most are just trying to figure out this loony dictator continually trying to pick a fight with America.
Really. And this raises a question about what on Earth do those loony tunes in Pyongyang really think?
Does the Pillsbury Nuke Boy actually believe we are constantly plotting to attack? And only North Korean eternal vigilance--like noticing the suspicious exercise dates--keep us at bay?
If so, why do they feel the need to throw a tantrum to get our attention? I mean, doesn't the Pentagon start each day briefing the President on the overnight revisions to the Big Secret Invasion Plan? Don't we have to revise it constantly because of the brilliant North Korean counter-moves?
Deep down, the North Koreans probably know that they just don't matter. We don't stay up late plotting against them because basically, if Pyongyang attacks, it means North Korea becomes a glass slag. That's why they are downgrading their army.
Heck, their army may soon spend more time plotting against the proud Porcupine or whatever the hell Kim calls himself this week.
And all this is why they rattle our cages when they think we are just quietly letting them strangle and die. Yet after they rattle we just continue to let them die slowly.
Let them die.
