*Updated.

-Trump says US committed to Japan security, in change from campaign rhetoric-CNBC
-"As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice." (Feb 2) Iranians Trample on U.S. Flag, Mark 1979 Islamic Revolution-NYT (Feb 10)

#Updated Update

-Mexico will pay for The Wall. How did I forget.
- "North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile, Challenging Trump"-NYT. The test came less than two days after Mr. Trump said on Friday that defending against the nuclear and missile threats from North Korea was a “very, very high priority.”...The test of an intercontinental-range system would have been especially provocative because it would mean that North Korea was trying to develop the ability to strike the United States.[emphasis added by moi. This test was of an intermediate range missile. It is thought that the intermediate is preliminary to ICBM testing.]... In a New Year’s Day speech, Mr. Kim said his country had reached a “final stage” in preparing to conduct its first test of an ICBM. That drew a Twitter post the next day from Mr. Trump that said, “It won’t happen!”...North Korea has since warned that it could test-launch an ICBM “anytime and anywhere,” in its first challenge to the new American president.
