re: Who else has been this crazy?
"All options are on the table" is apparently considered a direct threat of an imminent nuclear attack.
On the other hand, the following:
Unlike all the previous wars Korea fought, a next war will be better called the American War or the DPRK-US War because the main theater will be the continental US, with major cities transformed into towering infernos.
...is ignored. Or if noticed at all, no doubt it will be dismissed by those who cut our enemies endless slack as "mere rhetoric."
As I said elsewhere, the rational people will be able to judge between the U.S. and North Korea.
