North Korea going nuts. Afraid of US air attack!
[Twitter] North Korea has been conducting air-raid drills in Pyongyang since last Thursday, after the summit with the U.S. in Hanoi, Vietnam collapsed late last month. The next day, the North's Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui warned the U.S. that the bilateral talks may be suspended.

The North also indicated that it may end the moratorium on missile tests that it claims has been in place for more than a year.

Radio Free Asia reported Saturday that North Korean authorities had been holding nationwide air-raid drills since Thursday to prepare for a U.S. attack. One source in Ryanggang Province told RFA, "Things had been quiet for a while with no air-raid drills or military exercises, but the drills resumed suddenly and created many difficulties for people."

"Authorities across North Korea are telling people to get ready for war preparations by the U.S. and South Korea," the source added.

#2 ...Or maybe the Outer Party proles just aren't responding to the 'they're-coming-for-us' the way they used to.

#4 Kimmie probably Hope's Trump has had enough time in office to change his behavior and react more traditionally to his provocations.

#5 Out of curiosity I checked to see if this and the supposed high level cabinet meeting coincided with the meteor explosion. The meteor event happened mid-December, so no.
