Don't make the mistake of assuming that others are operating by

And that the other side's leadership is even rational. There is

Yes, Jong Mentally Il is nuts.

So what do we do about it?

I'd say nothing as long as he causes us no harm. The Chinese, Japanese,
Russians, Koreans, etc. have much more to be worried about than we, at
