My CNN news app has been going off like crazy these last few weeks. Reports of missiles being moved to the east coast of North Korea, missiles being put in the 'launch' position, and then shortly after lowered back into their launchers. It's the classic case of the boy who cried wolf. Except, instead of crying wolf he's crying nuclear warfare. Many have said that this whole thing is just a big publicity stunt. Quite frankly, I'd have to agree. If Kim Jong Un wanted to launch missiles, he would have done it already. He's dragging it out like a classic attention whore (pardon my french) would do. He's young and immature and is probably having a blast messing with us. However, he's kind of smart if you think about it. Claim you've got nukes that you're willing to launch and boom, (no pun intended) you have everyone watching and waiting for your next move. This automatically gives him power over everybody and he can start making all sorts of demands, which if someone had a nuclear missile pointed at your country, you're going to give in to. Maybe people aren't giving him as much credit as he deserves... I guess we'll find out what he's up to soon enough.
