pretending that they are normal

I see that the DPRK, (aka North Korea), launched as many as seven missiles yesterday, all falling into the Sea of Japan. One of these has gotten quite a bit of press lately, with whispered references to its range, which includes parts of the lower 48 states.

So what?

I really believe that, at this point in time, the best strategy to deal wth this country is to ignore it. Never mention it, give it absolutely nothing, allow no trade or exchanges whatsoever, no press coverage, and just go on.

It seems to me that this country wants attention, like a child who is not quite, eh, right.

All the hand-wringing and urgent consultation and so on only serve to salve the ego of this entity, and its pitiful excue for a human leader. Just ignore them. They are not a military threat, and, while they do have the capacity to do extreme harm to somebody, deep down I have to believe that they will not, as that would render the entire nation a smoking ruin within hours, if not minutes of any untoward action.

Ignore them.
