Guest shiloh357 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un decided Tuesday not to fire ballistic missiles at Guam, reserving the right to change his mind if “the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions,” according to North Korean state media. Kim appears to be attempting to de-escalate tensions to prevent conflict between the U.S. and North Korea. After the U.N. Security Council approved tougher sanctions against North Korea for its intercontinental ballistic missile tests, the North warned Wednesday that it was considering launching a salvo of ballistic missiles into waters around Guam in a show of force demonstrating an ability to surround the island with “enveloping fire.” That same day, President Donald Trump stressed that North Korean threats will be met with “fire and fury like nothing the world has ever seen.” For a week, the two sides hurled threats and warnings at each other repeatedly, leading some observers to conclude that the two sides were close to nuclear war. But, Kim blinked. Read More At: http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/14/kim-jong-un-backs-down-in-nuclear-showdown-with-trump/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you believe they "backed down" because of his words? I don't know that I'd call this equivalent to what they've been doing for the past 50 years. They made a specific threat and provided a timeline and then backed off of it, which is fairly unique for them. I think mattis basically saying, in a more direct than usual manner, that there would be a direct military retaliation if they shot anything at guam probably would've been the statement that stopped it, if indeed a statement from an american official is responsible.

They (NK) has been talking trash for 50 plus years, much of it aimed at the US. They have never once backed up that trash talk in all that time. But now all of a sudden it is the trash talk from our president that stopped them. What was it that stopped them the last 50 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that they realized that the end of their regime was at hand and decided it was better to stay in power than to be thrown to the mercies of the millions who have been starved and tortured over the years. Thisl is one time when what happened to Mussolini comes to mind; maybe it did for Kim as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
