My own personal opinion is they will because Kim must save some of that loss of face and such launches won't be seen as attacks on the US or her allies and therefore he'll gamble that no retaliatory military measures would be forthcoming. I'm also wondering how long the Chinese will maintain their current stance as well as how long the US can remain 'locked and loaded'.

Besides Korea is already off Trump's short attention span. We are now going to invade Venezuela or some such nonsense.

What, he didn't want to invade Grenada again?...

I still think Trump made them blink, but that started last Saturday when North Korea released a Canadian pastor back to his home country. He said that he only found out 15 minutes before they released him that he was going home: http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/15/asia/c...rea/index.html
But they still have three of ours in prison Quote:

Threatening another nation with violence using nuclear weapons has very far reaching implications and could open the door wide for preemptive strikes. Even last year Russia warned North Korea that the threats they were making could create a legal basis for the use of military force against that backwater crap hole country and quite possibly their weapons supplier. China obviously knew this too when they started to get their panties in a wad over a possible first strike by the U.S.
ya just dont talk smack like that and expect to get away with it. threatening nuclear strikes no matter how capable is wrong and may get you and millions of others killed.

I dont vote, never have. But I do support my president regardless of party ideology or affiliation they may belong too or practise. Im retired military I still get paid once a month for 'reduced service' which in a way still makes the president part of my chain of command.
I still support my chain of command and I still take my oath of enlistment to heart. This country of mine comes before any party. Im pretty happy with my life and all that Ive done I have no reason to take a crap on others to feel better about myself.
