New York Times: At Military Parade, a Rare Public Speech by North Korea’s Leader
SEOUL, South Korea — Long columns of goose-stepping soldiers, accompanied by tanks and missiles, marched through central Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, on Saturday, as the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, gave his first public speech in three years to emphasize his “love for the people” and declare his readiness to “fight any form of war” with the United States.
A smiling and confident Mr. Kim celebrated the 70th anniversary of his ruling Workers’ Party on Saturday by inspecting what appeared to be one of the largest military parades his country had ever organized. As warplanes flew overhead, the large plaza at the center of Pyongyang — named after Mr. Kim’s grandfather, the North’s founding leader, Kim Il-sung — was filled with soldiers and citizens chanting slogans of loyalty to the Kim family and waving pink and red artificial flowers in perfectly synchronized moves.

While North Korea is ready for war with the US, the US is likely not ready for war with North Korea. If only the US had better relations with China and Russia the chief supporters of North Korea, perhaps we could enlist their help in countering the North Korean threat. If only,... oh well one can hope and pray for change.
Yes, it is usually wise to act scared and try to grovel to curry favor with the owner pf a dog, who bought it expressly to scare or maul you.
That always works.
Where do we get these people? Central Casting?
