| [American Thinker] When North Korea’s military publicly announced plans for a mid-August launch of four intermediate ballistic missiles near the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, President Donald Trump quickly responded. He famously told reporters that "fire and fury" would be the likely response to any North Korean provocation. A follow-up Presidential tweet on August 11th proclaimed that the U.S. military was "locked and loaded should North Korea act unwisely." Western media again then immediately focused attention on the unpredictability of the "paranoid guy" Kim Jong-un. |
