North Korea on Saturday threatened a further military build-up in response to Joe Biden’s condemnation of this week’s missile launches, a weapons test that marked Pyongyang’s first substantive provocation since the US president took office.

The nuclear-armed North has a long history of using weapons tests to ramp up tensions, in a carefully calibrated process to try to forward its objectives.

Pyongyang had been biding its time since the new administration took office in Washington, not even officially acknowledging its existence until last week.

==============================================
When I posted the example of a democracy degenerating into a fascistic autocracy. This is what you might get if we let this right-wing anti-democracy drive to continue unchecked by the courts & the voters.
