Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What does he really expect? If he wants to play with nukes and threaten ultimate destruction every other week, this is what happens. A local deterrence force ready to retaliate.

These forces are more about containing/controlling China. NK just doesn’t want to be left out of the news.

Violating a country's airspace seems to be unnecessarily provoking.
Not sure what the best way to handle North Korea is but this does seem like a questionable decision.

Given the relationships between NK and US they could just shoot it down without any warning. So either they couldn't shoot it, or this is just made up.
