of their current belligerence. Regardless, if Kim Jong Pugsley is crazy/stupid enough to order a major attack (especially nuclear) on the U.S. or our allies, I think that there are entities within his government that would see it for the suicidal action that it is. If that is the case, I believe that there is a good chance that Kim will somehow catch a "Russian cold" before the order is carried out. Whatever happens, let's hope that it does not lead to war.
