Kim Jong Un, Choose Your Future

Kim Jong Un's slimy regime still has enough holiday season to ignite a ballistic missile or nuclear firework display.

At the latest North Korean communist party conclave, Kim mouthed tough-guy phrases like taking "Positive and offensive measures" that usually signal confrontation with Washington and Seoul.

If Kim has had second thoughts, why, prospective condos on the beach and South Korean K-pop girl bands playing Pyongyang gigs definitely have more diplomatic and psychological impact than the wildest optimists imagined.

Serious, factual events matter, and several verifiable events in December 2019 demonstrate that thoughtful U.S. and allied North Korean denuclearization diplomacy continues, as do efforts to address a global task with which de-nuking North Korea entwines: strategic defense measures to counter enemy ballistic missiles.

The U.S. defense budget is a diplomatic signal to North Korea draped in economic and military power clothing.

Why? THAAD can intercept North Korean short, medium and intermediate range ballistic missiles.

This gives Kim Jong Un second thoughts and thus protects 50 million South Koreans from North Korean missile attack.
