Continuing down the path of aggressive outward rhetoric:
North Korea warned Wednesday of a “thousand-fold” military retaliation against the U.S. and its allies if provoked, the latest threat in a drumbeat of rhetoric in defense of its rogue nuclear program.
Obviously North Korean statements need to be taken with a grain of salt but it is at least a little intriguing to think through how some of the escalation scenarios would hypothetically go down in this very Team Americaesque statement. I’m just sayin: 1000-fold military retaliation is a lot.
