North Korea is behaving like Russia during the early days of the Cuban missile crisis. I don’t know whether they think our resources are depleted or whether they think we won’t respond to their nonsense.

Maybe they think they can pull off something similar to the China incident with our EP-3. Whatever they’re thinking, we need to realize that North Korea simply is not like Russia, particularly at the height of the Cold War. They have nothing like the military capability that the USSR built. Clearly, they could lob a shot or two at us, but does anyone think for an instant that we wouldn’t retaliate with overwhelming fury?
