No good answers here but bluster isn't going to help.

No, he ordered a Nuclear Posture Review, something done by almost all incoming admins - since Clinton (the only) IIRC. |

Nobody said it was heroic . Actually one of our boys will be stationed in Guam soon so it weighs heavy on my mind when I hear that fat piece of #^&#^&#^&#^& make threats about firing a missile at Guam .
I'm actually comforted by Trumps words , and with Japan saying it will shoot down any missile that North Korea fires at Guam I believe the threat has been neutralized unless Kim's motive is to go down as a martyr .

Kim's motivation is to unify the Korean peninsula. If he has long-range Nukes, I think it functions as a deterrent to keep others out of the engagement when he finally decides to cross the DMZ and try and invade the south. |

If that is his only motivation, and it may be, but then why all the threats to destroy America ? It would be counterproductive to what he is hoping to accomplish.

this strategy has worked ok for Iran. Maybe he believes the world wont respect him as a nuclear power unless he makes threats and acts tough. the old fear = respect idea |
