Reuters: South Korea's Moon says 'high possibility' of conflict with North as missile crisis builds

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said on Wednesday there was a "high possibility" of conflict with North Korea, which is pressing ahead with nuclear and missile programs it says it needs to counter U.S. aggression.

The comments came hours after the South, which hosts 28,500 U.S. troops, said it wanted to reopen a channel of dialogue with North Korea as Moon seeks a two-track policy, involving sanctions and dialogue, to try to rein in its neighbor.

North Korea has made no secret of the fact that it is working to develop a nuclear-tipped missile capable of striking the U.S. mainland and has ignored calls to halt its nuclear and missile programs, even from China, its lone major ally.

Jay. I am reading it a little differently.
He hopes that it is just another day in South Korea .... but now being President .... he has worries .... and who wouldn't.

He got elected in part on a "Sunshine Policy 2.0",

In order to keep his supporters expectations realistic, he will be restating the obvious, every chance he gets, along with hints towards the Trumpian alternative.

If he doesn't regularly do this, he will lose support.
