Kim Jong Un stands down on threat to Guam, state media reports

Also... try the WSJ link from this article. I was able to read the article in the OP.

Let's hope that this indicates China is exerting its "influence". But we should not believe anything that comes from North Korea, any more than sensible persons would give credibility to anything from the White House. The lack of trust in a Presidency, has never been equaled, except in Third-world countries. Kim and Trump have found their counterparts.

The timing of the Virginia thing worked out great for the fake news media. Nobody is even paying attention to Trump's victory because CNN is still finding ways to blame Trump for Virginia.

If you google the story, you will likely not encounter a pay wall.

Kim just postponed his decision. Kim is a strategic genius. He is just going to threaten Trump again and again and make a fool of him and his red line. Nothing changed. He still is working towards nukes and he can bomb Guam anytime he wants. Guam will be living in fear from now on.

Kim is what a real leader looks like. Crazy like a fox. I'd sure like to see him shirtless on a horse.

If any of you seriously thought that the North Korean Pillsbury Dough Boy was *really* going to launch a missile strike at Guam, then y'all are larger fools than one assumed. A pissing contest between to megalomaniacs does not a credible threat make, especially since one (the North Korean Pillsbury Dough Boy), actually realizes something other famous war mongering egits ( Kaiser Wilhelm II, Adolph Hitler, etc...) did not; the response would quite literally wipe his country off the face of earth. North Korea makes and has made threats against the USA on a pretty regular basis, that is nothing new. Nothing ever comes of it because there simply isn't any possibility of a good end game. At worst the USA wipes NK off the face of planet. At best China or another Asian nation gets involved obenstentially to "help", but has other plans in mind. Besides anyone who knows anything about NK also knows it is the generals/military that really are calling the shots for that country. The Pillsbury Dough boy does have a role, and long as he sticks to the script and proves useful.....

Kim will not launch a suicidal first strike.
Only the right had wet dreams and delusions that he would.

Again -- totally false narrative....major outlets have covered the North Korea story.
