Where are the threats coming from?

I read more threats coming from the US against NK than I read coming from NK against the US.

Most of the threats coming from NK seem to be defensive in nature "if you attack us we will defend", as opposed to offensive "If you don't stop building missiles, we will attack you"

We just need to make sure that we are not making the situation more perilous in our zeal.

This is a time for restrain strategy, not emotional reaction.

I oft say beware of old men eager to send young men to war. I need to amend that with "beware of draft dodgers eager to send young men to war too."

Trump talks mighty tough with other people's lives.
