Is This It?

"Due to [Trump's] lacking of basic common knowledge and proper sentiment, he tried to insult the supreme dignity of my country by referring it to a rocket. By doing so, however, he committed an irreversible mistake of making our rockets’ visit to the entire U.S. mainland inevitable all the more.”
 -DPRK Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho in speech today to UN General Assembly.

The U.S. flew bombers of the Korean peninsula but north of the 38th parallel today, the first time that has been done in the 21st century.

I have not been able to get a full transcript of Ri's speech yet; the above is taken from the Washington Post. With that statement by Ri, and with the American bomber flight today, the world is clearly closer to the first nuclear exchange in history. Indeed, it seems to me, an idiot, but still, that Kim and Trump have made up their minds.
