It is OK to worry, but it is not profitable to get involved in a nuke war. While a North Korea might talk a big game, Trump's boast a while back that he has a bigger button has some truth to it. It might be a better tactic to yap than to actually do something. As is, the primary results of yapping seems to be sanctions and famine. It is not surprising North Korea has no imitators of their approach.
Don't discount 'stupid' as a policy, We've seen stupid many times before; QAnon is a prime example today.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
