N KOREA KIM BLINKS FOR NOW IN ITS ATTEMPT TO ATTACK A US TERRITORY GUAM - AS THE KIM HOLDS BACK PLANS OF THE 4 MISSILE LAUNCH TOWARDS GUAM - DEFFUSING THE CRISIS FOR NOW

North Korea said Tuesday that leader Kim Jong Un was briefed on his military’s plans to launch missiles into waters near Guam as part of an effort to create “enveloping fire” near the US military hub in the Pacific.

The comments, while typically belligerent, are significant because they appeared to signal a path to defuse a deepening crisis with Washington over a weapons program that is seen as having the ability to be able to send a nuclear missile to the US mainland.

During an inspection of the army’s Strategic Forces, Kim praised the military for drawing up a “close and careful plan” and said he would watch the “foolish and stupid conduct of the Yankees” a little more before deciding whether to give an order for the missile test, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said.
