Dunno. Every time North Korea does something, the United States and The U.N. put up sanctions and North Korea says "Sanctions, huh? Fucking watch this!" Then the cycle repeats itself, slowly. It feels different now, because we got one side of the United States and all of the U.N. saying "Sanctions" and the other side of the United States also saying "Bro, are you itching for a fight? That'd be a bad idea?" to which North Korea says "Sanctions? Dire warnings? Fuck you. WATCH ALL THIS SHIT IMMA BOUT TO DO!"

Things are happening louder, faster, and more frequent than I've ever remembered and this time honestly feels different and it seems like people are starting to lose the idea of speaking in even, reasonable tones.

Edit: Kind of feels like the ratcheting up to Iraq if I'm being honest.

North Korea 'begging for war' says US, calling for strongest possible sanctions
