    One of those countries, as of March, was already in a losing war and the leader has already made vague threats to a nuclear option. Another country has been trying to get into a dick-measuring contest with world powers by using shows-of-force with long range missiles that happens to share a border with a country they’ve been kiiinda at war with for decades. Both aggressor countries are kiiinda aligned, or at least in league, with China, while the opposite countries are allied/aligned with the US.

    This sounds like the kinda thing any rational leader would do.

    Also, TIL Russia actually shares a border with N Korea.

      Exactly. I’d be considerably more concerned if they weren’t planning for these contingencies.
