not because of the American media. I doubt Un is watching Faux or CNN and the people defiantly are not.

But he's not throwing a fit because of news coverage--he's throwing a fit because the sanctions are squeezing them and he is going to drive right up to the edge of the cliff in order to get concessions. The US hasn't apparently offered them anything this time, and isn't going to, according to what I've read. Little Kim has also been put on notice that neither the US nor SK will tolerate whatever little potshots he was planning to do to provoke a war.

I know "countries other than the US have no agency of their own" is some kind of thing on this site, but come on.

Remember the CNN reporters chasing after marines as they took an Iraqi beachead in Gulf War I? Asking them questions like it was an interview. THAT is when we became a Banana Republic imo.
