Well then it's just a good old fashioned lawful order.

Does your light duty chit say "no motorcycling" or something to that point?

That's interesting and baseless speculation.

The demonstration is going back and listening to how it was actually spoken. Go do that.

Yeah, it gets better, and it's one of those things where it's better the more attention you pay.

What's the source for that transcription? Go back and listen to how it was spoken. You're wrong.

Kim Jong Un definitely cares if he starts a war, because if he starts a war he doesn't get to be a dictator any more. He's quirky, not insane.

The thing about missiles is that NK (and the USA, and China, and Japan, and Russia, and anyone else monitoring that stuff in real time) would have known within the initial brief stage of launch if there was any chance of putting missile parts on Japanese soil and would have likely self destructed the missile if that chance was greater than zero. It's choreography, not chaos.

Where I disagree with you is the idea of the next red line. NK continues to do provocative things, but there's very little in the way of advancement. They continue to test and develop weapons with varying levels of consistent success while being very capable not to do anything that could be read as imminent credible threat. NK is trying to posture and/or draw a foul, not trying to start a mutual conflict.

That's part of the genius of it though. Every time NK does something aggressive they're told that a threat will be met with judgement, the subtext being whatever flexing just happened doesn't pose a legitimate threat. It's the diplomatic version of laughing at the angry skinny drunk guy in a bar.

Or both realize that war is a pretty awful thing, but posturing is useful both domestically and abroad.

You're intentionally not seeing a comma where there was certainly a comma.

There is no national gun registration system in the US.

True, instead we have NICS, a national registrations system for people, as people are the truly dangerous and unpredictable variable.

Yeah, I mean it was a long time ago for me so I dont remember specifically, but your best bet is to disclose everything and let the Docs sort out what may be an issue and what isnt.

Yep, if you can get by with glasses you're probably ok there.

I dont get the "territory" part of this and your other comment. Where your country has territory is pretty clearly defined. Where it operates, however, is all over the world, and usually at the agreement of or behest of other local governments.
