How else to describe the decision by Big Brother USA and junior sidekick South Korea to stage major air force exercises on North Korea\u2019s border.\u00a0 The prickly North Koreans had a fit, of course, as always when the US flexes its muscles on their borders.\u00a0 Continuing South and North Korean peace talks scheduled this week were cancelled by the furious North Koreans.\u00a0 The much ballyhooed Singapore summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korea\u2019s Kim Jong-un is now threatened with cancellation or delay.<\/p>\n
