That wasn't the point. The media is pretending NK can reach USA with an ICBM by giving nuclear survival tips. That's sensationalism.
Some sensationalism, but line "Americans can sleep soundly" is indicative of tone throughout. Doesn't mention S Korea or Japan til last para
&risk is huge for those countries,nuclear strike or conventional. yet ends with this.(see Atlantic stry 4 dangers of any type of 1st strike)pic.twitter.com/PYeLhvcCm8
Harm to Japan/ S Korea wasn't Pinker's point. I think he's saying media hype around an ICBM on US soil is preposterous.
I'll agree with that point, pinker was just linking to it after all. Didn't like perspective of globe column at all though.
In other words — Calm down, if anything it'll only be Japs & those other Koreans who die. Such a comforting sentiment. Thanks for sharing!
I wonder if he was that sanguine about the possibility of Trump winning the election.
N. K nukes are becoming better with time. We should not be complacent and be prepped for potential war as they get more sure of themselves.
Another thing, to say a dictator that enslaves his people is "rational" is beyond intellectually bankrupt
Famous last words :)
We've been a paper tiger for the past two presidencies. If you believe Trump's crazy enough to do it... then that makes him a real tiger.
