What amount of US responses to NK's actions constitute deliberately hyperbolic consent manufacturing?
- rconti 5y agoIf that was what they were doing, I think they could have done a better job.

- ceejayoz 5y agoMeh. It seems fairly clear that once you've got nukes, you're fairly safe from US intervention. Doubly so if close US allies are in range of your missiles. The difference in how the US treats North Korea versus Iran is pretty clear.

I could see a scenario where he is petty and childish and where a coup is launched, he is about to lose control and makes a decision that amounts to "if I can't run this country, then noone can". He does seem to genuinely dislike the United States, so would be a two birds with one stone decision. I don't know how likely it is for that to happen or whether or not he cares about his countrymen. The purges that he ran to consolidate power early on make it seem like he is not averse to violence.
