What I learned being a big guy,

[MineralMan]

25. That's OK advice on an individual scale, up to a point.

However, walking away from a determined little guy who happens to be armed with, say, a pistol, can lead to unwanted consequences. Before turning on your heel and walking away from some annoying twerp, it's a good idea to assure yourself that the little twerp won't shoot you in the back.

As applied to North Korea, there's the matter of their recent nuclear capabilities. Very modest nuclear capabilities, but nuclear capabilities, nevertheless. The scene has changed somewhat in that area when it comes to threats and blustering, since NK now has the capability of attacking with something more than conventional weaponry and lots of troops.

The distances in that area aren't large, either. A look at the map of the Koreas gives one pause.

So, we shouldn't be attacking North Korea, and we're not. However, turning our back on Kim Jung Un and his merry band of aging military officers probably isn't a good idea, either.

Another strategy is to put your hand on the top of the head of the blustering little guy and let him swing away, while watching his other hand to make sure he doesn't reach for some sort of equalizing weapon.

Big guys are still vulnerable in some ways, you know.
